Lawrenceville This painting describes how humans inhabit my neighborhood in Pittsburgh. It’s also about the light and shadow, and the geometric, overlapping shapes . I completed this on location, Housebacks, 30 x 40, oil on linen, 2019

Stanton Heights The last few months have inspired me to explore nocturnes. This one, Porch Light, was completed after seeing it at dusk. The lights punctuated the cool darkness with spots of warmth. There is a quietness that I’m finding in these recent paintings.

Lawrenceville Here is a new painting from my studio while being quarantined. It is the 10th Ward of Pittsburgh. I’ve been using shadows from an unseen source to extend the viewer’s field of vision. 

Lawrenceville, 10th Ward The quarantine has the streets and alleyways a lot less active. I’m feeling the quiet while making paintings that reflect the times. This is titled, Isolation, 18 x 24, oil on canvas. 

Well, so far my 2019 has proven to be a heck of a lot like my 2014: long hours at @pittsburghjuice in Lawrenceville paired with lots of yoga to keep me strong and balanced. Honestly, I love this life. But, with that said, there’s a lot of other stuff that doesn’t get done when I’m the one standing behind the counter making smoothies. [Did I mention we’re hiring 😆] Come see me today Friday 12pm-6:30pm, Sunday 9am-3pm or snatch the last couple tickets to the kombucha class I’m teaching at @heirloomsuperfood tomorrow morning at 10am! #fbf #bossbabe #pittsburghjuice #lvpgh #smallbiz #entrepreneur #juicelife #organic #vegan #juicery #lovemyjob (at The Pittsburgh Juice Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsgDY_IhU6n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hccwdss03y0m

What do you do when it’s the summer solstice, #nationalyogaday AND #nationalsmoothieday all in one day?? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Well, if you’re me, apparently you pick up your favorite neighborhood wood fired pizza and craft beer and take them home for a quiet evening with your guy and four legg-ed pal. 🙃 We’ve been working really hard to get @heirloomsuperfood up and running by Sunday. The idea of pizza and beer between long work days is romantic in a quintessentially American sort of way... also a rare occasion when reality exceeds expectations. The food and drink were excellent, but the company was way better. 😉 #everythinginmoderation #nonconformist #pizzaandbeer #lvpgh #neighborhood (at Strip District, Pittsburgh)

Açaí (ah-sigh-eee) smoothie bowls: rich in antioxidants & dressed to your liking. This customer chose a true superfood combo with hemp hearts, flax, coconut shavings and fresh mint. 💜 #smoothiebowl #acai #healthytreats #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #lvpgh (at The Pittsburgh Juice Company)
