Silverpoint, or more generally metalpoint, is a medieval drawing medium rarely practiced by artists today. Metalpoint drawing can be done with any soft metal – silver, gold, and copper are common, and exotic metals like platinum and bismuth can also be used. Metals are too hard to mark on plain paper, so a prepared surface, such as paper or board coated with a ground made of paint, must be used. In my work I raise questions of contemporary society: how technology and consumption affect our daily lives, impacting our environment, mediating our experiences, and alienating our instincts. By personifying inanimate forms with agency and creating fictional spaces, I hope to surprise my viewers with their own internal worlds and see their community through a new lens.

🌦️ Sept. 12, 2013, was a day that changed the trajectory of the Loveland community. Steady rain continued for a week, and flood water inundated more than three square miles of Loveland, covering roads and closing all bridges over the river.
Join us this week on Tuesday, Sept. 12 for the premiere of our documentary, “From Tragedy to Triumph: The Story of the 2013 Big Thompson Flood.”")
