Social Media Mondays // Week 2 // Make Good Work If you don’t make work, you have nothing of sustenance to grow your social media presence around. Selfies, photographs of your breakfast, your #ootd, and new nail color polish are not going to gain you the “fans” and followers you are seeking. You are […]

We’re going to keep this simple. I’m going to dive into how the hell I got 16,000 instagram followers (organically) and have (on average) 50-70% of my Facebook fans consistently engaged with my page (also organically). I’m not going to give you the secrets on how to become a featured so-and-so on blahblahblah’s blog (bob […]

First of all, I am CELEBRATING having this new site up and running. Blood, sweat and tears went into this bad boy (girl?). I’d like to say a sincere and public “THANK YOU” to my handsome husband for dealing with my irrational crankiness and general ‘wanting-to-punch-everything’ frustration when it came to building the new and […]

I’m happy to announce that I will be guest curating at the 502 South Music and Art space in West Philly this September on Friday the 13th. I have 6 total artists confirmed (including myself) and I’m pretty excited to put it all together and see what these amazing artists bring to the table. Announcements […]

This last weekend was surreal. I am honored to have been one of the artists exhibited at the Arch Enemy Arts booth at the Fountain Art Fair. Alongside 4 of my pieces were works by fellow artists Lawren Alice, Cory Benhatzel, Bill Joo, Mary O’Malley, Kristen Egan, Scott Kirschner, David Parvin and Mateo Arfanotti. It […]

(originally written on 11.20.12)On my bus ride from New York to Philadelphia this evening I found my mind trailing towards the ideas behind my work. I am just beginning to be able to articulate and speak about them. It feels like an artist statement that is taking years to be able to write, but it’s […]

Meg Franklin is a fellow artist, New York Academy of Art student and good friend of mine. She is an incredible talent and one of the most creative individuals I’ve met in quite some time. Not only does Meg work as a visual artist, she also has her MFA in creative writing. She runs a […]

Even though Aleah and I are in the same age bracket, going to the same school and she is someone I would consider a friend or confidant, I was nervous to interview her. Risking sounding strange, I admit that I’m a big fan. Her work has always exuded this pure sincerity and it is something […]

What an artist can create on paper, canvas, or with clay, is quite magical. A mere thought can be turned into a tangible masterpiece with the ability to awe, inspire and connect strangers.
