My big sister says:
"Using impressions from real-life, as well as photographs, I explore intimate moments in the lives of birds. I try to stay true to the soft colors of nature and the transitory feel of a bird in motion. Nestlings awaiting their parents, parents in search of food, or even solitary birds resting before taking flight are frequent subjects in my paintings....The truth is that birds spark an emotional response in me that is pure and serene."

"The groundbreaking, new, online documentary series educating, exploring and celebrating how individual effeminate gay men survive and thrive in today’s American queer communities! 50 Faggots celebrates the differences among urban and rural environments, along racial, religious, and intergenerational lines. While the series allows each man to discuss the ways their personal effeminate expressions are negotiated in career, relationships, and communities, this documentary project creates national dialogue around the diversity of ways to truly “be” a man."

"While party goers mingled they perused through coal portraits from local artist, Cody Cranch. Though the formula for Cranch’s pieces is simple, beautiful men rendered with pencil on paper, the compositions are complex and the facial expressions are varied and wonderfully evocative."

Adorable boutique (and site for show) says:
"If an antique enthusiast believed all antiques were dark stained walnuts and somber Victorian cloaking, Roost is a visual treat to end that notion. With enough bright textiles and crockery to tease a kid’s Crayola attachment, a visitor will find sage green cookware, smoky quartz glasses, turn of the century Stop signs, blue spoons, and flaky painted farmhouse benches."
