Where You Can Find My Artwork

There’s something incredibly surreal about making art in your home, surrounded by half-finished ideas, paint-stained clothes, random bursts of inspiration—and then realizing those pieces eventually leave your hands and end up in the world. Art is deeply personal to me (and every other artist duh). For me each work starts somewhere small: a feeling, a weird little thought, a color combination I can’t stop thinking about, or sometimes an odd experience that somehow turns into something worth framing. If you're here you're probably wondering “Where can I actually buy your work?” So here’s your official guide.


Wolfbait & B-girls | Chicago Illinois

If you love shopping small, discovering one-of-a-kind finds, and supporting local artists, this is one of my favorite places to have my work. Wolfbait & B-girls is one of those magical spots that feels like a treasure hunt in the best possible way. It’s filled with handmade goods, art, gifts, and pieces created by independent femme makers. Having my work there means so much because it places my art alongside a community of creatives doing genuinely beautiful things. If you’re the kind of person who likes seeing art in person before taking it home, this is your spot. You can learn more about Wolfbait here.

Side Street Studio Arts | Elgin, IL

Another place where you can find my work is Side Street Studio Arts.

This space has such a strong connection to creativity, experimentation, and community, which makes it feel especially meaningful to be represented there.

If you’re local to the area or love discovering art in gallery settings, definitely stop by.

Buying art in person hits differently. You get to stand with a piece, see its texture, notice the details, and have that “okay... I think you’re coming home with me” moment. You can Learn more about Side Street Studios here.

Melody Mart | Homewood, IL

This one might surprise some people. Most people know Melody Mart as a music store, lesson hub, and creative community space (which it absolutely is), but I also have artwork available there. Music and visual art have always lived in the same part of my brain—the place where expression gets messy, emotional, joyful, and occasionally wildly inconvenient. So if you happen to be stopping in for instrument shopping, lessons, repairs, or just to exist in a building full of creativity... you might leave with art, too.

Online Platforms

On occasion I will send stuff straight from my homebase but I definitely prefer to use other online platforms because I don't want to turn my place into a shipping center. So if you prefer to avoid people like I do, then you can find my art on these platforms:


Redbubble

Redbubble is a global marketplace that allows independent artists to turn their artwork into wearable, functional, and collectible products—from stickers and apparel to mugs, prints, notebooks, and more. It’s a fun way for me to take designs that may not exist as original physical pieces and give them a second life in forms that are accessible, giftable, and honestly just kind of delightful. You can find my Redbubble shop here.

TeePublic

TeePublic is another platform that helps independent artists turn their work into wearable and everyday products while connecting with a global audience. If your style leans a little more toward graphic tees, expressive apparel, stickers, and pop-culture-adjacent designs, this is a great place to explore my work. Every purchase directly supports independent creators, which means you’re not just buying a product—you’re helping artists continue making the weird, meaningful, and wonderfully specific things people connect with. You can find my TeePublic Store here.

For Original Work

Want an original piece? First of all: excellent taste.


Original works are handled directly through me since sizing, shipping, and logistics can vary. If you’re in the Chicagoland area, local delivery may be possible. If you’re elsewhere, shipping can absolutely be arranged. If you’re interested in acquiring an original piece, please contact me directly for availability, pricing, and delivery details.


Found My Work in the Wild? Tell Me.

If you visit one of these spaces and spot my work in person... or better yet, bring something home—I’d genuinely love to hear about it! Tag me, send me a message, or share your new piece in its natural habitat. That kind of support never gets old, and seeing my work out in the world honestly means so much! And if you want to know when new works become available in the future, you’ll can be the first to know! Just make sure you’re signed up for my newsletter.
