So, I said I was working on some big projects, and I'm excited to finally be able to share some details…
First up is this beautiful floral installation I created for a group show called Spring Break that is up in the lobby at Fountain Plaza (50 Fountain Plaza | Buffalo, NY). This piece titled Here With You feels like a nice stretch and next step in my studio practice – a paper collage taking up space like a mural!

One of the things that many people gravitated towards and commented on when I had my studio space at the Hunt Gallery Residency were the bright flower cutouts that I had taped up on the walls. I loved them also (so fun! so happy!) but wasn't sure how to utilize them beyond collaging them to paper and paintings. When I was told I would have this wall to showcase some new artwork, my wheels started turning and I thought it could be awesome to see those flower cutouts filling the space – and this piece came to be! There are about 20 flowers ranging in size from six inches to three feet large, all layered and floating dimensionally away from the wall. It's delightful.
I will get some more images of this piece and the other artist's work at the opening reception May 18. If you want to pop over to see it in person, please do! The address is 580 Main St, Buffalo, NY 14202 the building is open to the public during regular business hours and I highly recommend going when Flint is open so you can get some great coffee and tasty pastries or lunch. Yay for taking chances and thinking big!
