Here are the paintings from my Subdued Dudes art exhibition!
Thank you so much to everyone who attended the opening for my Subdued Dudes art reception last Friday! I feel like I’ve done nothing but paint for the last year, and it made me incredibly happy to share my work with you!

Don’t miss today’s episode of In the Moment on SDPB! I was delighted to chat with host Lori Walsh about visiting museums, painting bros, and my upcoming art reception titled Subdued Dudes.

Here’s a sneak peek of my artwork at No. 7 in Vermillion. I owe a huge thank you to my wonderful husband Aaron C Packard for not only modeling in some of the paintings but also helping transport these wily beasts. Somebody* should buy this man a drink after the art reception today from 5-7!
*By “somebody,” I mean me, but you’re welcome to join us afterwords!
Did you catch my Interview with Baylee Peterson on Dakota News Now? Watch the segment titled, “First SD artist to receive Pollock-Krasner Grant” to get a preview of my new oil paintings.

I’m absolutely pleased with the article Angela George wrote about me for the Argus Leader titled, “How to see the 'brodalisque' paintings from South Dakota's first-ever Pollock grant winner.” She provides information about the Pollock-Krasner Foundation along with explaining the work I did to complete my grant project.
Eek! I’m getting ready to debut the paintings I made with the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. I hope to see you at the opening reception on March 28th at No. 7 Center in Vermillion!

I’ve been spending too much time with my bros lately! Anyway, I hope to see you at my Final Friday art reception at No. 7 Center in Vermillion, South Dakota on March 28th from 5-7 pm.

I’m going to debut the paintings I made with the generous support of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant on Final Friday, March 28th from 5-7 pm at No. 7 Center Gallery, 7 Center St. Vermillion, South Dakota. I titled the exhibition Subdued Dudes because I think I’m hilarious, and I’d love to see you there!

Do you also struggle with understanding when a joke ceases to be funny?

I’m making progress on this new brodalisque painting, but I still have a lot of work to do!
Why do my paintings take so long to complete? I blame glazing!

Am I showing off my progress on this massive brodalisque painting or am I documenting my decent into madness?

This little oil sketch is my plan for my most ambitious brodalisque painting yet!

Eek! I have so much work to do on this grande bro! What are you working on today?

Did I tell you that I got to see The Seasons by Lee Krasner at the Whitney? I cannot thank the Pollock-Krasner Foundation enough for supporting me as I conduct research and create paintings this year!

I’m making another attempt at a Grande Brodalisque, and I just finished adding a thin layer of paint to plot the main colors.
