Lumen, My MFA Thesis Exhibition

My MFA thesis exhibition is a wrap! I was super nervous about my show but it turned out great and everyone I spoke with told me they enjoyed playing the game. It was great to see strangers playing together and having a good time. Thanks to the pandemic and COVID it's taken a long time to wrap up this project. There's definitely still room for improvement but I think this is a pretty great start. Visit this blog post to read more about my MFA exhibition and Lumen, the card game/teaching tool I created.

Golden Thorn Style Guide

Golden Thorn now has a style guide. I've been going through my work from the last few years and decided to make a style guide for this brand just for fun. Golden Thorn was created for an entrepreneurship assignment in a graduate design studio class. I designed several logo variations, stationery, a website, and an art booth setup. I originally planned on using the brand for my art sales but then decided it was too formal for me. I'm still really happy with how the logo and design of everything came out. I invested a lot of time in this [...]

Straw Hat Cafe

JSU provides all students with access to LinkedIn Learning so I'm taking advantage of it while I still have access to it. I've been watching a lot of video courses on illustration, Adobe Illustrator, logo design, and photography. Just kind of sampling different courses in order to learn new tools and techniques. I was browsing through photos from my trip to Japan in 2015 looking for some vector practice inspiration and came across this fun sign from a Studio Ghibli-themed cafe called Straw Hat Cafe. It was super simple but still good practice and I'm happy with how it turned [...]

LinkedIn Learning Recommendations

Interested in taking your software/design skills to the next level? I am a huge fan of LinkedIn Learning, previously known as Lynda.com. LinkedIn Learning is an online video course provider with thousands of business, technical, and creative courses presented by industry experts. The content is well organized with each course broken up into small 2-10 minute video chunks that are easy to digest. It cost about $20-30 a month depending on the plan you choose, but you can get a one-month free trial to check it out. If you're a student at JSU the university provides free access to LinkedIn [...]

Covid Creations

Covid Creations Virtual Exhibit | November 2020 Hosted by the Jacksonville State University College of Arts & Humanities Fluttering, June 2020 Fluttering Carol Record There's a creek called Five Mile Creek located near my childhood home in Birmingham, AL that's always been a place of magic in my imagination. This image is part of an experimental series I made that consisted of exposing plant life from around the creek during the middle of the day and then immediately processing the paper to stop exposure in the creek itself. For me, these images are a combination of science and [...]

WE, the Women’s Caucus Exhibition

Friends, I am super excited to announce that my #metoo work was chosen for inclusion in WE, the Women's Caucus Exhibition in Columbus, Ohio this November-December at West Rich Promenade Gallery. The show was curated by four jurors who chose twelve artists for the exhibition out of 61 entries so this is a huge honor. In addition to the show, an awesome exhibition website has been published so you can experience the exhibit virtually, and a printed catalog for the show is planned. How cool! I'm still new to sharing my work in shows like this, especially outside of the [...]

Fluttering Chrysalis Consumed

There is a creek called Five Mile Creek located near my childhood home in Birmingham, AL that's always been a place of magic in my imagination. These images are part of an experimental series I made that consisted of exposing plant life from around the creek during the middle of the day and then immediately processing the paper to stop exposure in the creek itself. For me, these prints are a combination of science and magic that commemorate this special place and the nostalgia of my childhood. Making these images was simply an experiment to see how pre-coated cyanotype paper [...]
