Artistic Offerings
Baltimore Festivals and Vending Events
Catch me at a local Baltimore Festival or Vending event to talk your favorite stories of the places I've painted! These paintings are made for locals... by a local. At each festival/event a new series of paintings/prints are created to celebrate that special Baltimore Neighborhood. I would love to capture your narrative and talk about some of your local Charm City spots that have brought you joy!
Jungian Visual Story Telling
Through the lens of my "visual journal", witness a narrative of Jungian themes and exploratory painting. View the world through a different perspective, one that is guided by the collective archetypes that encompass all of us. Using mind mapping, dream work, and surrealist idea generating techniques, I use journaling to connect to a higher power and connecting to a shadow self.
Artistic Education Fusion
