I make drawings and screen prints. I live and work and grew up in Detroit, MI. I like to read. Dogs make me happy.

My studio is inside of POST, a lovely storefront and workshop space in Detroit filled with wonderful people.

Freelance Illustration & Design: I've been a freelance illustrator & designer for over 10 years, with a range of experience in digital & non-digital projects. I'm especially good at drawing dogs and making art for screen printing (t-shirts, posters, etc).

Got a project that I might be a good fit for? Contact me.

Teaching: I've been screen printing since 2001, and I teach a variety of mostly screen printing-based classes and workshops. I taught intro and intermediate screen printing classes at Ocelot Print Shop, a community screen printing shop in Detroit, for 5 years. I now teach many screen printing workshops at POST, and in September 2018 I ran a weekend artist demo at the DIA. 

Want to run a screen printing workshop somewhere? Contact me.

Hooray Forever is the label I create products under, from prints buttons to zines to zipper pouches. Drawing-based screen prints on paper and fabric are my focus.

TWO BIT-O-NEWS (like Bit-O-Honey, but for news): 🌈I’ll be vending again this year at @handmade_detroit’s DUCF 🌈I had fun designing this year’s poster/promo materials! As DUCF enters its teen years (# 13), we let that guide us in terms of concept and colors. Thirteenth anniversaries are celebrated with faux fur and textiles, hence the “fabric rainbow,” sewing ephemera, and furry heart monsters. ✂️DUCF: Nov. 30 - Dec. 2 at the Masonic Temple, Detroit
If you’ve ever thought about fostering or adopting a greyhound, now is a good time to give it a try. Thankfully & finally Florida just passed a ban on greyhound racing, which will close 11 of the 17 tracks remaining in the US - perhaps the beginning of the end of this cruel industry - and thousands of dogs will need homes soon. // Pictured here is Diesel, aka Dee Dee, aka Deez Dog, and she’s a short-term foster dog I’ve been taking care of this week. She came from a greyhound racing racetrack in China that was shut down over the summer. Rescue groups have been working hard to home these dogs (600 of them), and the work will continue as Florida’s dogs are released. // There is likely a greyhound rescue group near you. I’ve fostered and adopted a number of them over the years - my family got our first greyhound ~15 years ago (thanks Mom!) and that’s all it took - and I am happy to answer any questions.
