IMPACT! Celebrating 20 Years of Art at the Overture Center was a curated group exhibition held at the Overture Center for the Arts' Playhouse Gallery during the Winter 2024/2025 season as part of their 20th anniversary exhibition. I was selected as one of 16 artists in this curated group exhibition which was up from November 26, 2024 through March 9th, 2025. My work featured new ceramic musical instruments including the first Electric Tenor Ukulele.

For Halloween 2021 I made a costume of Boba Fett from Season 2 of The Mandalorian. In 2023 I updated the costume for improved screen accuracy from The Book of Boba Fett in addition to completing some of the parts I had skipped from earlier (mostly the jetpack and EE3 blaster).

Here is a showcase of some other cakes that I've made.

This was a birthday cake I made for a friend who requested a Lord of the Rings themed cake. This cake was modeled after the capital of Gondor, Minas Tirith, a grand fortified city built into the side of a mountain.

Baking has been a big hobby of mine during the pandemic and I decided to bake my own birthday cake this year. Since I was turning 25, I wanted to make this very particular cake referencing a very particular joke from a very particular cartoon from my childhood.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, cancellation of FreakFest 2020 and other financial factors, instead of doing a costume build this October I decided to carve pumpkins and bring back my once annual tradition of carving a self portrait into a pumpkin.

Mugs with playable ocarinas built into the handle. The ocarinas have a range of one octave. The tuning is based on a four hole ocarina with the holes stacked in a vertical orientation.

This was the final project of my Art 100 class. For this open ended project, I chose to paint the Madison skyline in the style of Van Gogh's Starry Night. To this day, this is my favorite and most succesful painting that I've done.

He was number one!
