Starting out of college I had many jobs to help get my feet on the ground, one was when I worked with @katedemske.bsky.social at Republic Design, a metal shop in Cincinnati in the late 90’s. Kate now has her own smithing studio, Solid Ground Studio where she forges her own creations.

I spoke with @gehrisch-arts.com on her podcast @originsofcreativitypodcast.com “Find out what it takes to keep showing up as a professional artist” I think a lot of it is just showing up everyday with goals and determination that can help drown out the voices of doubt.

Poster for my newest animation ‘Tangent’ What started out as an experiment, accidentally turned into a short, short animation. A woman and a circle discover a relationship that requires balance, nurturing and letting go. I entered 'Tangent' into a handful of film festivals this summer.
The purpose was to focus on silhouette and positive and negative space. This doesn't require any rendering, just lots of squinting and paper moving. To help us not think about details and only think about shape. I was intrigued with the result.
An exercise I used as an ice breaker for the Design International workshop at the UQAM School of Design in Montreal. We each got a black piece of paper and tore it into random shapes. Then in short blocks of time, we were to arrange the shapes into a character.
