update // spring, printing and art incubators

Spring is springing in Brooklyn and I love seeing all the little flowers popping up! Meanwhile I am attending an art incubator program with Visionary Projects/Tableau this month and getting lots of ideas and motivation from that… and I am also test printing some of my digital works at Supreme Digital in Bushwick in hopes of exhibiting and selling them physically. Very excited about it. I also had my first reiki session ever today at Grand Street Healing in Williamsburg and it was pretty wonderful.

studio // recent digital paintings

It was exciting to see my digital work printed in such a large format for the NYCB Fall Gala. It inspired me to continue my digital painting practice but to only make super hi-res paintings in Procreate that can be scaled up to billboard size if needed. I find digital painting to be satisfying in so many ways - not comparable to physical painting but it is a whole different way/ medium/ challenge for interacting with my intuitive painting style … and can be done in any setting! The thrill of nomandic painting, in a way.

commission // NYCB Fall Gala banners

Very grateful to have this exciting painting commission! A world-renowned event company commissioned me to make 4 large scale autumnal paintings for the New York City Ballet Fall 2023 gala event.

Although not my usual style, I drew from my past formal art education in order to create 4 Impressionistic fall scenes. These digital paintings are made Procreate in a super high resolution - when they were printed at 27 feet high they still look crisp and clean.

design // DY dinner menu

As you may know - I am also a freelancer graphic designer after spending may years doing it FT professionally while I worked on my painting practice. I love how it stretches my creative muscles in a different way. This summer I was honored to be asked to design the Save The Date evite, a printed invitation and a beautifully printed menu (triple mount, deboss, letterpress with gilded edges) for this event in NYC in September.

studio // works on paper

During the summer I am in Westport, MA a lot, close to the ocean. I have a small garage studio set up there with a nice view and breeze coming through. I also help my many young nieces and nephews make art on paper with me most days. These are some of the works I produced during that time. These works are mostly 11”x14” and made on heavyweight paper with acrylic paint and some mixed media.

exhibition // "NYC Vibes", Bushwick Street Art, Bushwick, Brooklyn, NYC

On Friday October 14, 2022 four of my 16”x20” paintings from 2021 were on view for the night in the “NYC Vibes Art Show” at the Bushwick Street Art / 1444 DeKalb event space in Brooklyn.
