Got to spend last week out in Denver, visiting friends and family and working on a couple features for Culture Vixen magazine. It was a blast! Here are some favorite photos snapped from the trip:
(Also be sure to check out my latest article about epic Denver sculptures, including the wild horse that tragically killed its creator.)

I have always admired the work of Sandy Skoglund and finally got to see one of her installations in person! It was very red, and very cool to walk through a room of jumping foxes!




Loooonnnng time, no post! To make up for it, here are some photos from the latest adventures:





I wanted to share this feature article I wrote for CultureVixen.com, about my experience learning the art of Moroccan cooking abroad.
I love Moroccan cuisine. Pastilla, or meat pies encased in puff pastry and covered with powdered sugar and cinnamon, savory lamb tajines, and hot mint tea don’t even begin to scratch the surface of this complex culinary culture. My food obsession led me all the way to Morocco where I followed my taste buds right into the Moroccan kitchen.

Mixed Media: sketched on location at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. I just got back from a fantastic trip to the windy city, it was such a blast! I shot roughly 1,000 photos in Chicago, so I decided to combine some of my photography and sketches for today’s post.


This happy bride and groom wedding illustration was created for a wedding announcement & save the date mailing…congrats to Anne and Mike!

This was painted by my father, a truly amazing artist, who always manages to produce paintings with such a breathtaking command of color.
