Artists Inspiring Artists

“I need this to be an album cover. This exact piece. This one. It has to happen. How can I get it?” As an artist, there is just something extra awesome and flattering about your work speaking to others, even if it’s not in the same way it speaks to you. My goal is to […]

What we can control

Fluid art can be so unpredictable. Much like life, there are times you feel like you are in control and can see how things are going to play out beautifully, just to be thrown off course if you make one wrong move. While some may think this art is “easy” and just thrown together, there […]

Cast Iron Ribeye

My taste buds are in Heaven! This quick and easy oven-to-stovetop garlic butter steak was AHHHH MAZING! Paired it with skillet roasted red potatoes and oven roasted asparagus! season steaks (we chose a well marbled ribeye) with sea salt and cracked pepper bake for 35 minutes at 250° F transfer to cast-iron skillet, preheated with […]
