Blown away by the amazing results from last weekend's Rotto Grotto grotto workshop at John Michael Kohler Arts Center! Thanks to the organizers and participants. Attendees were able to make their own personal grottoes from Fiberglass grotto shells I created. Participants brought many of their own materials that had personal significance to them . I’m really pleased with the varied and creative results. I hope to hold some more workshops in the future, so please stay posted on my instagram @rottogrotto and facebook page .

Finally got to see @lesleyannenumbers ‘s stunning mural in person ~ and hear the surprising backstory about what it would have been if permitted. (hint: even more radical). 🤐 Love the inclusion of Toni Morrison’s quote ~ “If there’s a book that you want to read but it hasn’t been written yet then you must be the one to write it.” True that 🙏 thank you for your incredible work ❤️❤️

Hey frenz in Milwaukee area ~ Do have leftover bathroom or backsplash tiles that you’re never gonna use ? HMU ! Especially searching for : unglazed tile , brightly colored tile and small tiles on mesh ( we need mesh) . TY !

Attn Madison community members ~ join us this Sunday from 3-5 PM for a discussion and workshop about @communicationmadison ‘s next community project- a mosaic mural on the front facade of their building! This collage and writing brainstorming session will be hosted by me and @alexslays and our aim is to identify topics or issues that will serve as a theme for the mosaic mural. This is the first in a series of workshops for this project. We’re excited to meet you and hear more of your thoughts and ideas. If you plan on attending please RSVP to Alex (email listed in flyer). DM or comment with any questions ! ❤️ #communityart #madisonart #mosaicmural

He's doing so good ❤️

This poor doggo had to undergo emergency surgery today. I cried because he is the best Rottweiler in the world who is filled with pure love . Please be mindful of animals before you litter, even if it’s just decomposing fruits or veggies.
