So much is possible when we dare to dream big and work together.

Thanks to everyone who supported this vision and project, and thanks to Emily and Osiris for absolutely crushing this piece at the festival on the tiniest of timelines. Honored to do this work in the city I call home.

This Spring I had such a fun opportunity to contribute to the citywide project with this piece! I love community collaborations that celebrate special little bits about who we are and I loved getting the opportunity to sprinkle a little bit of my illustrative style on the story of Route 66 as we celebrate its 100th birthday.

It was such a joy to collaborate with on this project and pay homage to the rolling pastures of the midwest heartland that Route 66 travels through. As a hobby raiser of chickens myself, I loved getting to paint this sculpture next to my own chicken coop in my little home studio on the outskirts of the city I call home.

I’m also excited that this was installed at Rutledge Wilson Farm, a special place near and dear to my heart full of lots of memories with my kids when they were little.

A huge thank you to all involved in bringing this massive project to life and big cheers for for her work and heart on this series. I’m honored to play a part in it!

Thank you as well to for capturing these beautiful photos ❤️
