  • I recently finished my Phish summer tour ticket stub series! These were a series of watercolor paintings and ink and watercolor illustrations I created. Each one was inspired by the location of the concerts, including architecture, land features, and cuisine. They were painted on Arches 140lb watercolor paper, most sized 8.5×11 inches. A few have…

  • I happy to share one of my recent prints, one of many I have done during quarantine! I’ve had a fascination with armadillos, and have included them in some of my previous work .  I had drawn my most recent one planning to incorporate it into a Phish poster I had planned, but we all…

  • My interpretation of this year so far. 13×19 print of a 9×12 ink and watercolor illustration I made. As an art teacher attempting to distance teach from home, and a live music fan who will not see any concerts,  this image encapsulates how I feel about the whole situation. This was one of several images…

  • I recently finished my latest Dead inspired print, Cats Down Under the Stars.  It is based off the song by Jerry Garcia Band, as well as the art of the album by the same name.  The original was watercolor and ink, and printed on 13×19 thick glossy cardstock and limited to an edition of 50.…

  • I recently created a print for the upcoming Dead and Company show at the Wells Fargo Center on 11/16/17.  My print was inspired by an old print I came across of Ben Franklin and his son conducting his famous kite electricity experiment.  The original is ink and watercolor, and prints are signed and numbered, limited…

  • So it’s been a while since I’ve posted here! The last couple months have been very busy, work and artwork wise. I recently revamped my shop to include a lot of my recent printmaking  I’ve been focusing more on printmaking, including a few new prints and variants. New prints! Pizza Time Taco Time I created…
