This show gets better every year! I’m very lucky to show with these amazing titans of fiber!

I had a blast at Vogue Knitting Live - this time on the East Coast. There were so many amazing artists, crafters and vendors.

I added some new pieces to Gather DTLA! The Sitters and twin cats are hanging outside the yarn shop. Like me, they would be nothing without yarn!

"Family Album" is my first solo show! At the sublime Branch Gallery in Inglewood, CA (next door to The Knitting Tree, LA), "Family Album" includes 10 years of my family portraits. The show opens March 18 and ends on April 28, 2017.

The incomparable, Vickie Howell, was the guest editor for the 2017 issue of Crochetscene magazine and mentioned my work in the "Ones to Watch" section! It's an awesome issue too - with special guest editor, the incomparable Vickie Howell! I'm so honored to be in with three other phenomenal fiber artists with Vickie's recognition (she's an amazing crafter) and kind words about our work. It's the best encouragement to keep on hooking! And, they mentioned my favorite yarn shop, Gather DTLA.

I got a mention in the Fall 2016 Issue of Vogue Knitting! It's a good thing that I photobombed an unaware Popeye. More over, I'm excited to be in the company of major stitchers like Steven Mark Berg, Vickie Howell, Siedah Garrett and my pal, amazing fiber artist Ashley V Blalock!

My favorite yarn shop, Gather DTLA had a screening of YARN: The Movie at The Last Bookstore on August 28th! I was a part of an artist's panel with Ruth Souza, Martha Winterhalter, and Ashley V. Blalock, hosted by Gather's own Evi and Tifanee.

I'm very proud to have a few of my pieces in an awesome fiber arts show at the Spring Arts Collective Gallery inside The Last Bookstore in Downtown LA! I admire all of these artists and their amazing work - all brought together by my favorite yarn shop, Gather DTLA! Opening reception July 15th.

I did an interview with Jorge Mujica and the great people at Art Traveler. I talk about my work while staying weird! I was honored to a part of this show and to be included in this video with Andrew K. Thompson, Nano Rubio, Ching Ching Cheng, & Rob Grad!

I have a display at Vogue Knitting Live event in Pasadena, CA 4/17 - 4/19!

My work is a part of 5x10:Contemporary at Art Exchange in Long Beach. I will be showing with the amazing artists, Ching Ching Cheng, Rob Grad Nano Rubio, and Andrew K. Thompson!

I was part of a new book, Textile Art Around the World by Ellen Bakker. This collection is crazy - it is filled with truly awesome art! I am very proud to be associated with this community of artists!

My portrait, "Dan", appears in the new winter issue of Fiber Art Now. My inspiration for the portrait was artist and photojournalist Daniel Eldon. The article by Trudi Van Dyke features five fiber artists & I'm stoked to be included with them and their amazing work.

My artwork appears in the latest issue of Happily Hooked courtesy of Kathryn Vercillo of Crochet Concupiscence - for Movember.

May pal of Crochet Concupiscence, Kathryn Vercillo, profiled my work in a wonderful interview for Fall 2014 issue of Interweave Crochet Magazine. We talked about the craft, yarn, and on being a dude that's a hooker.

Photojournalist and artist Dan Eldon has always been a constant source of inspiration to me and my work. Without the work of Kathy Eldon, the world can see his compelling art and continue his campaign for tolerance around the world.

Writer and Crochet Queen Gwen Blakley Kinsler generously featured me in her crochet blog.
