I’ve been a graphic designer for a long time. Developing visual brand identities for companies, products, apps, and social movements. I’ve only recently got back into art as a form of personal expression.

I fell in love with collage art because of the ability to take multiple creative energies and fuse them together to create a new work.

Black Lives Matter.

I recently did a collage piece for Redemption Rock Brewing Co.’s Crowler Art Program.

“Racism is a white people problem, and as white people, we need to talk about it more; with friends and family while having a beer, with coworkers, and with city leadership (vote in local elections!). We need to encourage uncomfortable conversations that can lead to necessary changes in our society centered around inclusion, equity, and belonging. And we need to come together to demand systems-wide change (and if we need to get rid of and completely reimagine some of these systems, I’m here for that too).

Art is a powerful, visual tool to encourage some of this work, but it doesn’t accomplish all of the work.” — Read the full blog post on Redemption Rock’s site, here.

100% of the proceeds from these sales goes to the #BeyondThePaint BIPOC Artists Fund.

Commissions are cool ;)

I love designing visual elements to match impact-driven work.
