GIRL DETECTIVE PAINTINGS
For this series, I was honored to be selected as one of 18 artists in Chicago in 2015 to receive the backing and support of a 3AP project grant and crowdfunding campaign through 3Arts, a Chicago-based arts organization. Through this campaign, supporters of this project have pledged their financial backing, and 3Arts has provided a match grant, toward helping get this painting series off the ground! I am indebted to the many supporters listed below, and to 3Arts, for this opportunity!
This painting series is inspired by Nancy Drew and the women who created her. My hope is that her character, and these women, can inspire future generations to bravely pursue their dreams and live lives of focus and determination. To watch my video interview and learn more about the inspiration for this series, view the campaign page here: http://3arts.org/projects/girl-detective-paintings.
Update: Two of the paintings in this series are complete and more are underway. Stay tuned!

ELEMENTS/INSPIRATION
Video Stills
This is an excerpt of a video I shot, edited and composited (using Adobe After Effects) which was used as a projected backdrop during performances for my band, Girl Detective. I will be using still shots of some of the motion-blur frames as elements in this painting series.
