Announcing Enso Artspace
I am pleased to announce that myself and 9 other artists have come together to create our own art gallery in Garden City, Idaho. Enso Artspace will showcase members’ work in a contemporary exhibition setting. All proceeds from the sale of work benefit the individual artists directly. In addition, Enso Artspace hosts art-related events such as lectures, performances and guest exhibitions. We have been hard at work preparing for our inaugural opening which will be held on May 13th. Visit our website http://ensoartspace.com (created by yours truly) for more information about the opening.
Founding artists are Chris Binion, Cate Brigden, Michael Cordell, Andrea Merrell, Kelly Packer, Lisa Pisano, Christine Raymond, Pamela Swenson, Anna Ura, and Amy Westover. Work is available for viewing during receptions, events and through scheduled appointments.

Running a gallery is certainly a lot of work, but I have enjoyed collaborating and getting to know other artists in Boise. I look forward to experiencing their work and growing in the space together.

Teen Night at the Boise Art Museum
I was honored to be chosen by the Boise Art Museum's Teen Advisory Board to be the featured artist for Teen Night. More than 60 teens came to the museum for free admission, music and snacks. I setup shop in front of my work in the gallery and brought a bunch of in-progress paintings and portfolio books of my drawings. I also brought along some of my inspiration: bones, x-ray books, taxidermied fish. It was great to talk to the students about their work and interest in art.
Halfway through we all went into the studio and got to work. The students were supplied with paint and put their thoughts down on paper. Everything from portraits to spaceships. We had interesting conversations and listened to great music. I hope it inspired some of the students to keep creating

Brigid Cow Shirt for Woodstock Animal Sanctuary
The Woodstock Animal Sanctuary found my Brigid cow drawing on Etsy and asked if they could use it for some of their marketing materials. After checking out their website and reading the stories of the animals they help, I immediately said yes. They sent me a design for a t-shirt featuring Brigid and soon after, wonderful, comfortable high-quality shirts. I am proud Brigid is helping such a worthy cause. Woman's and Men's shirts are available in the store on their website.
