This exhibition will also feature gallery artists David Gillanders, Amanda Hughen and Mary Rousseaux, each working with one other artist in their collaborative practice.

studio 1020
Come see 2 collaborative pieces I made with Kim Frieders and Renee Robbins this Saturday, March 27th, for the opening reception at Studio 1020 from 7-11pm. It's a group collaborative show full of uber cool artists including Tony Fitzpatrick and Matthew Hoffman. It's located at 1020 N. Marshfield and even though it's in Wicker Park, you won't need skinny jeans to fit in...

Check out the new resin & paper collage pieces on my collaboration page to see what we've been up to. We have a bunch more in the works!
collaboration project
I am currently working on an exciting collaborative project with my 2 friends, Renee Robbins and Kim Frieders. We are working on resin panels, paintings on canvas, and paper collages together.

Our project will be a part of a group show called "Give and Take" at Chicago Art Source Gallery from May 7 - June 14, 2010. More info on the project and the show soon!
lots of new resin work
The top 4 rows of the Resin Wood Panels page are all of my new resin work. I've been experimenting with richer color palettes as well as iridescence and translucencies. The piece below entitled "Isotope" shows what fun can happen when you play with gouache. Have I mentioned how much I love gouache?
