Live Painting

There is always a first time for everything. Live painting was something I had never done. My debut was at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland during the Down the Rabbit Hole event held and created by Living Prism. The event was completely sold out and the electric energy of the 1400 costumed guests was fuel for magic!

This is at the beginning of the night. 

This is the dance floor. The music was amazing!

My friend Kaitlyn McKenzie painted alongside me. What a treat! (I'm a HUGE fan of hers)

This is the main stage. Artist Chris Dyer was painting there. 

The finished piece at 2 am. It felt like time just flew. What an amazing and beautiful experience!

What's New Pussycat?

So much has happened since I graduated from PNCA in December! I moved into a new studio space in Portland with my friend and superstar artist Liam Cuzner (www.liamcuzner.com). We call it: The Mill - because it's constantly humming with work and ideas. It's an amazing space and we share the building with other creatives like Pigeon Toe Ceramics (pigeontoeceramics.com) among others.

Here is my little corner in the 400 sq ft space we have. 

It's nice to have EVERYTHING there. I used to work out of another studio where I had to keep some things in storage. 

I've started making postcards and cards and my Etsy store is now open! I also sell originals, of course. 

I got a dog!!! His name is Yoshi and he's a puppy. He was rescued from Oregon Rescue and we were told he is half chihuahua, half pug. He is my studio companion and comes to "work" with me everyday.

That's all for now. If you would like daily updates, follow me on Instagram. Link on my website.
