I finally have a studio (woo hoo!), and I’ve been busy making mess after mess after mess. I’ve also started putting my work in local shows, one of which is coming up on May 31st at The Kitchen in Oxnard, CA. So more art from me soon; I’m in the middle of a love/hate quarrel with these works in progress.
