Brief Description: I love mushrooms and toadstools, and so decided to make a fairy toadstool for a local gallery show. I also strongly associate psychedelic mushroom art with the 60’s, and this charming vintage sticker from the 60s fits the gnome home toadstool vibe I was going for. vintage 60s mushroom decal

Brief Description: I made this tree frog collage for a show at a local non profit. I love frogs, and this collage was inspired by this tree frog sculpture by Frogman, which was the first art piece I ever bought myself from a gallery.
His name is Zen, and I got him for myself back in the mid-2000’s to celebrate graduating from college and getting my first paycheck from a grown up job.
