Today is the last day of June, and if you didn't already know, it was National Migraine Awareness Month. Now that it's coming to an end, I thought I'd share one of my Migraine collages that I had been working on recently. Here's to making migraines a little more visible. http://www.golocalprov.com/news/state-house-honors-national-migraine-awareness-month
BFA Graduation
Well it finally happened. After four long years, I have graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, Peck School of the Arts with my BFA in Painting and Drawing. It was a lot of hard work and a lot of dedication. Thank you family and friends who have helped me along the way.
With graduation also came the end of the Juried Show and the BFA Show. Both were a success and I thank everyone who attened to support myself and the other artists. (Below is my BFA piece, shown at the BFA Show) Here's to the future!

Migraine: Annual Art and Multimedia Contest
I can finally announce that I placed 2nd place in the 2015 Annual Art and Multimedia Contest held by the Association of Migraine Disorders. Held around December each year, this year's theme was Not Just In Your Head, meaning that migraines not only effect the head, but all other parts of the body as well.
You can see three of my submitted pieces on their website here: http://www.migrainedisorders.org/news/contest/
