Is This Your First Time?
I found myself asking this question repeatedly one night last month and most people answered yes. I was an artist exhibiting at Highland’s first ever, one-night-only Pop-Up Gallery and most of the audience were art gallery virgins! Background (in case you need it) Pop-Up Galleries have been getting more and more press the last read more »
The Need to Unplug
Recently there was a conversation on Facebook about trying to, on occasion, unplug from all the technology on which we’ve come to rely. It’s not the first time I’ve heard that particular conversation, nor the first time a lot of people around me have said “hey, you know, I really get a lot out read more »

4000 sq. ft. blank canvas
I have been a graphic designer for almost 10 years. I began my career working for an agency in Michigan where I was privileged to work with many interesting and high profile clients.
