KOICHI.
Christmas has come early for this girl. I was gifted a Wood Engraving workshop at SaltGrass Printmakers with Koichi Yamamoto, a printing genius who currently teaches at the University of Tennessee. I first heard of him in 2005 when I was at Utah State and he was the head of [...]
HORNY.
It’s been a week since the opening of my first solo show in a gallery setting. The energy spent on creating it during the same time as living with the guy’s parents in West Jordan (25 minute drive from the studio I work in) until moving into our first [...]
FURNITURE.
Take a good look ya’ll. Because the rust ain’t comin’ back after these next few days. I’m finally, after emptying that mystery box and doing a lot of online research, restoring this press and the goods it came with. The most common solution I found for removing rust was Evapo-rust, [...]

Last night was a fun last minute event for me. A week before during Gallery Stroll, I met a boy named Isaac outside of Copper Palate Press where he was smoking. We were chatting it up and I learned his booth was near mine at Craft Lake City. When he [...]

CRAFT LAKE CITY ’11
The 3rd Annual Craft Lake City was held yesterday, a blistering hot day. I had sweaty bangs and sticky legs to prove it. The 2nd annual was my very first big event and my oh my what a year it has been since. I have learned and observed so much [...]
THREE.
Yesterday was a crazy day. I had two art shows, but not only that I had to somewhat professionally hang 33 frames for one of them and still had to complete my piece for the other before both events started. My little photo club of four friends, Grain, had a [...]
