project: i.magic nation--new works on paper



 upcoming show I.Magic Nation: opening reception August 3, 2012 Warehouse 416

"We grew up in a world where the power of imagination and magical thought filled our minds and our televisions. The 70's were a period of original, brilliant educational programming. The airwaves on Saturday mornings were full of brightly bizarre creations that were meant to ready us for the world. Songs, colors and strange characters taught us everything from basic counting to how a bill becomes a law. These lessons helped us to develop our own special worlds. Our nostalgic brains have translated our memories of what we took in as kids and how it has affected us as adults."

marianimals












in progress...

been juggling a few projects...getting ready for new shows--new pieces that i'm excited for people to see. multi-tasking is one bad mutha! it's definitely a skill that i won't take for granted anymore. besides working in my studio (aka living room), i've also been hit with family priorities--i'm on a mission to go to the philippines to see my parents...my dad most especially. life always has a way of keeping its reality and staring you at the face...
