About

I started out drawing robotic (and sometimes not robotic) creatures on my family’s lunch bags every day during a stint of freelancing from home. I called them Lunchbots and created a blog called Disposable Drawings to share my art, playing with the idea of impermanence as my canvas. Using paper lunch sacks for the Lunchbots, chalk and slate for the Finger Puppet Portraits, grocery bags and construction paper for the Tarotbots, and wood scraps for the Blockbots, all of my art incorporates elements that are seen as temporary, disposable, recycled or reclaimed.

Playing with the idea of the temporary nature of everything by using recycled or re-purposed materials coincides with our shift from being a world of consumers to a world of scavengers, re-purposers and recyclers. Everything is at once dying and being (re)born. I embrace this balance of change, reclamation and re-purposing in my art, music, writing, and life. Sometimes doing something as simple as lovingly packing your family a lunch every day is a tiny act of revolution. I’m blessed to have found those who resonate with what I have to express, excited to have been included in the shows I’ve been in, and humbled to share space with such amazing and inspiring artists.
