I worked all winter on a mixed media series exploring the intersection of decay and rebirth, as well as the Liminal space between man-made and natural sights. I’ll be busy taking pictures and documenting all week, now that the sunlight is back!! #stilllife #mixedmediaart #collage #printmaking #origami #recycledart #environmentalism #insects

Happy Sunday Minnesota! (And elsewhere) Here is a visual toast to the last snow storm of the year. (??) If you have to get out there today, remember: Spring is a state of mind. These small portable art mantras are now for sale, $10 each! DM me if interested. Mantra was printed on a showcard press, dragonfly inside printed on unryu paper, a vandercook press. #spring #minnesota #mantra #portableart #letterpress #printmaking #paper #mixedmediaart

Today is my first day as a @mnbookarts artist co-op member AND I just got a note from @forecastpublicart telling me that my « garden of words » was chosen to be featured permanently in Anoka county’s brand new library!!!(Opening summer 2019) I’m totally overwhelmed with excitement ✨✨✨✨ #publicart #minnesota #paper #printmaking #origami #mixedmedia #artistcoop

Three blades of grass and a dragonfly... It is so hard to see all my friends and family in Lyon and in Japan posting pictures of blooming Spring... I just had to manufacture a Spring of my own. Scraps of paper dyed with tea leaves, junk mail and pressure prints finally coming to life. #ecodyed #letterpress #pressureprinting #blackteadye #stationery #folding #paper #artvideo
