​Past Shows for EHriginal Artist

Knowing Over Mind: Virtual Art Show

In 2020 COVID-19 happened. Everything shut down. Gathering stopped, socializing was virtual and we all were just trying to figure it out. I was planning on having an art show at The Rayback Collective in Boulder, CO hanging art for the whole month of December 2020.

Colorado became a code red state shutting down all indoor seating. My goal was to have 1 art show in 2020 as I had known in 2019. I finally have an art studio and I wasn't going to miss another year. I decided, like the rest of the world, GO VIRTUAL. I turned my house into a gallery and went live on Zoom and Facebook debuting this art show.

I was so lucky to have my mom, my partner, Ryan my friend, Amanda and roommate Abigail help with this experience. I am excited to announce I will be hanging art at The Rayback Collective April 2021!

I made an e-book for this virtual event. You get to see the real deal, inside MY head with all these creations.

Rooftop Tent Trip: Donate Gifts

For the people that supported my West Coast Rooftop Trip by donating money. Each person got a special  watercolor painting and/or resin artwork determining on how much they gave. Each piece is inspired by the sites I saw during this 3 week trip from end of September through mid October 2018.
​
It was magical, beautiful and so incredible, I hope my pieces of art can capture that.

Impavid Discovery

This show happened on Friday April 20th, 2018 with a reception from 6-8pm that night.
It was an amazing turn out and also had 3 other girls join me in this show.
Impavid means fearless. We were all fearless for our last semester in undergrad & it really showed!!

ArtUp

I had an amazing opportunity to hang some of my smaller resin pieces for this community event.
The week of February 23rd to March 2nd 2018 -- There were artist workshops, business info to help small businesses, all about community.
My art was hung for the event on March 2nd that First Friday.

Roots Beauty Studio

My FIRST First Friday event in Fort Collins was at Roots Beauty Studio in December right before graduation.
It was a great event & turn out, it enabled me to be more confident. 
It is an artsy studio with great hair stylists!! Book an appointment & check out my three pieces that are still hanging up!!

Mini Gallery - Balance & Harmony

For my final at Colorado State, I hung up my graduation pieces to get critiqued before finals.
It was a success & I loved seeing all EHriginal Art in one room.
I got great feed back from students and faculty -- I do miss that now being a graduate!

Big Al's Burger & Dogs

So many restaurants in Fort Collins have local art up. It is fun to see it where ever you go.
I was able to hang some up from October to January in Big Al's restaurant off of Mountain.
They take 10% of the profit and donate it to charities!! I hope to get back in there again soon.

So cool to see my art hung up and seeing the light of day! Can see where my spot was threw the window.

All my resin pieces hung up here at Big Al's. It was cool to go in and see it up at a restaurant! More to come.

Undergrad Research

My concept in art had to do with Fracking for a couple semesters. 
CSU holds an Undergrad Research competition & ask artists to join as well.
I put in my huge "Sterile" piece. It did not win but I was able to published in the CSU book & recongized!

This is the piece that got selected for the Undergrad Research compeition. As you can see I am also pointing to it published on the back of the book! So cool to be a published artist. More to come :)
