I added quite a few new dance tops in my etsy shop this morning. There are a couple goofy ones, a few funny-ish ones, and some brand new baby swag.
While I was logged in and updating, I decided to add a few details to my shop story.

I’m exploring relationships through human form, body language, and connection.
Connection is my most recent body of work painting dancers. Started in 2016, it’s a series of oil paintings, watercolor paintings, drawings, and ink drawings exploring human connection with body language, touch, and gesture; communicating and connecting without words through improvisational lead and follow social dancers. As a dancer and former media employee, this body of work is a reflection of communication in contrast to verbal or written language with undertones of honesty, transparency, and authenticity.
