4 Weeks and Counting!!!!!!!

So today marks four weeks until my show! I booked the space this week and that means I've got a lot of work to do! For everyone in Savannah the show will be October 26th at the Dollhouse Productions Warehouse(More info and directions to come!). Since it's so close to Halloween I've decided to combine my show with a post-show Halloween dance Party! Everything is in the works, but currently I'm in search of some local Savannah bands and DJ's to keep the fun going all night!

Here's just a little of what I've been working on the past couple weeks...






This is my most recent piece, it's still in progress but almost there!

Project Update!

Yesterday my Kickstarter campaign was successfully funded meaning soon I will be able to move full force painting and getting ready for my first solo show.
Thanks to everyone who showed their support, I couldn't have done it with out you!
Here is a little insight into my second sub-series which I'm currently calling the mermaids, inspired by Klimt. This series in the very early stages and I've only been able to briefly work on it until I'm able to buy more painting/printing supplies. For this series of paintings I'm working in a very process oriented way. First I took photos of my models wearing a costume that I projected my own hand drawn patterns on.


I can then turn those photos into a black and white transparency used for burning a screen printing screen. I plan to utilize just the patterns for the screen printing part, go back in with many layers of paint then the faces will be the last step. 

Still a lot of work to go but I'm enthusiastic about the end results!
