Something I finished today...




This is a footstool that I made at NEW (Non traditional Employment for Women) and a pic of me graduating. I spent the last six weeks going through this program with the expectation that they will help me get a job as an Ornamental Ironworker. That means joining a union, and what I've learned is that the union aspect is just as important as the Ironworker aspect. Now its a waiting game. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about this program. I would love to tell you about it.

The stool is a gift for my sister's kiddies so they can brush their teeth so their little teeth don't rot out of their heads. I painted it and covered it in polyesther resin and now it so FUCKING SHINY, I want to lick it (but won't do so until its dry). God Bless the wet look.

Work in Progress



Hello! So this is one of the paintings I am working on now. I am going in an entirely different direction. It is something that I had to get out of my system. Afterall, it is hard to not be influenced by the amazing grafitti that is all over
Brooklyn. It is my hope with this piece to capture the texture and vibrancy that makes me love grafitti. I know grafitti is really trendy now, but just so you know, I thought of it first.

Work in Progress


This is a peice that I can barely tear myself away from. I am incorporating collage and oil painting.
