Lawrence Arts Center Benefit Auction Catalog
The catalog of all the works that are part of the 2012 Lawrence Arts Center Benefit Auction is now online. My work will be part of the live auction on April 14. Check it out here.
Juvenile Starling
I came upon a pair of juvenile starlings a couple years ago in the backyard of the house where I was living. They were very willing photo subjects (I took almost 100 photos of them before they flew off — yay for digital cameras…) and have inspired many of my bird themed paper cuttings.

5 x 7 inch paper cutting.

The weather this weekend was too perfect to stay inside and work. Instead I spent my time doing lots of walking, meeting up with friends in town celebrating the KU Final Four/ Championship game, sitting in parks, drinking coffee on my deck, etc. I think this is why I like having four seasons — when the weather is beautiful, I appreciate it more.. Last night I was having a late dinner on my deck with my neighbors and we were wholly surprised to see june bugs and fireflies already so early in the year.. And then we had a long pseudo-philosophical discussion about how amazing it is that there’s these little bugs flying around that light up. Nature is all pretty crazy-amazing when you think about it. That’s why I like to be out in it and make art about it.
Back to the paper cutting I go.
