Ended the year how I plan to spend the next one: making stuff. Ciao, 2016. I’ve got work to do. Shoutout to @mmelby124 for these amazing vintage 1920s JA Henkels embroidery scissors ✂️ #newyear #embroidery #inthestudio #mplsart #makemcad (at MFA at MCAD)

Me in my studio at MCAD MFA Open Studio Night yesterday, resisting the urge to yell “STEP INTO MY OFFICE” at everyone walking by. Thanks to everyone who came out last night to see some art and look around our home. Shout out to @briannastw for making the “Draw” quilt that functions both as decoration and as a really cute way to make myself get to work. #mcadmfaosn16 #mcadmfaopenstudio2016 #mplsart #minneapolis #twincities #makemcad #mcadmfa (at MFA at MCAD)

After a November full of horse stories my Instagram is back to sporadic regularly scheduled programming. I don’t really do just one thing at a time so while I was having lots of nostalgic horse feelings I was also writing and drawing and producing a new comic! No Shade of Green: Meditations on Empathy is about my less than stellar history of caring for plants and sometimes people. There are drawings of plants, confessions of guilt, and maybe a laugh or two? If you’re in the Twin Cities I’ll have copies on view this Friday night from 6-9pm at MCAD MFA Open Studio Night. Come read my comic, see my embroidery, and get a peek at my process in my studio! #comics #risograph #plants #empathy #illustration #inthestudio #makemcad #mcadmfa #mcadmfaosn16 #mcadmfaopenstudio2016 #mplsart #minneapolis #twincities (at MFA at MCAD)
“I don’t like people,“ said Velvet. ”… I only like horses.”

Hello Friday Currently wishing this first day of fall actually felt like it #embroidery #illustration #gif #mplsart #makemcad #mcadmfa (at MFA at MCAD)
Made this little one sheet, no staples zine as a take-away for a workshop on zines I taught this week! Had so much fun combining my passion for zine culture, DIY, activism, feminism, illustration/comics, and U.S. History. #workshop #zines #illustration #gradschool #diy #makeprintshare #mplsart #makemcad #mcadmfa #acolorstory (at MFA at MCAD)

Finishing up a new piece for the 5th Anniversary exhibition @lightgreyartlab in March! This will be a part of the local artist showcase at their grand reopening. In the midst of grad school craziness I took the opportunity to try a more stream-of-consciousness approach to stitching and I didn’t totally hate it. Come see the other side of this embroidery in person on March 3rd! #embroidery #stiches #illustration #mplsart #lightgreyartlab #lightgreylocal #twincities #makemcad #mcad #mcadmfa #acolorstory (at MFA at MCAD)
