The "Kings & Queens" Thesis show went up in the Visual Arts Gallery in Chelsea in NYC. Pretty amazing.

My body of work. 22-Tarot cards based on the life & world of Harry Houdini. The cards are those of the Major Arcaena, numbered 0-21. They are a journey- e a way to eximane the inner psyche & psychological evolution one must undergo to become balanced. The symbolic nature follows that of the traditional tarot cards, however I used my artistic liscense to alter the imagery in such a way to be more representational to Houdini.

They are painted on 7x9.5in massonite, cut & rounded to shape, then covered in canvas.. The .25in thick edges along with the letters are goldleafed.

Cotton Candy Eyes.

We were walking through the streets of Athens when my Yiayia & I saw a cotton candy stand. Being that we were in Greece, Greek letters adorned the sides of the cart. My Yiayia laughed & repeated the words in Greek...then told me, "You know, that means it's the hair of an old woman." The image has never really gone away, so it got a fun little twist for this assignment....One of my favorites from this year.

A broken sparkling trance

or so it seems I have been in this state lately.
Life is incredible. Life is scary.
All that glitters is not gold- but it will still blind you with its gleam.



In two weeks school is through.
Then I am a senior.
Then I graduate.
I am ready to be done with school.

I've decided it was time to start an art blog. I have yet to get a website up & running, & so this will be
my escape..
Your connection..

Peruse.
Enjoy.

Love.
Hate (kindly).
Be honest.
