Art & trauma. I’m showing the progression of my favorite character bun bun roo. She was born out of an enormous- movie level amount of trauma over my father‘s death. It’s amazing how during those times sometimes a stranger can pull you out. I’m just amazed by that; the resilience of women, of creative people, of humans.

Looking back at the history of kitty cat church and our move to the Mohawk Valley in 2009 in the depths of the recession. It took us almost 15 years to restore the church and make it gorgeous. We’ve had a lot of ups and downs and now we are restoring blueberry cottage. I’m working on a new dress, many new tights, looking for models and brand ambassadors, and excited for the new massive printer we have coming in.

Pretty pixie planet painting made into a plump top! So many things are happening- my big printer is on its way. I know it won’t fit in the driveway, but that’s OK -that that’s how we roll. Also, blueberry cottage is getting a really big facelift; I mean bigger than Botox, and it’s gonna be weird, super weird! The best reaction to AI is upping your weirdness game as a human, That’s what I think… and more tights are on the plate, and more models, and more fabulous influencers, and more wonderful women. I just think women are amazing. That’s one of my greatest inspirations. who wants to make a crazy surrealist café with me? The kids on TikTok are trying to find me an investor. I love it.

What a wonderful day to see one of our handbags go viral on TikTok as a young artist, studying fine art found it, and then the Internet found us! I feel really grateful to be seen, especially in this era of AI. As we have stepped away from trade shows, we really want to build a loving community of models, fashionistas, influencers, and sales people. It’s my longtime dream to build something based on love, kindness, respect, integrity. The world needs Artists. The world needs us. The world needs what we have.

Please sign the petition to stop AI data centers in NY.
We have one close to us and it will take our water and land, not provide jobs, push mass surveillance, and use our power grid.

Come along as I hand paint our latest sculpture; ‘Luna moth caterpillar.’ It started off as a tiny sculpture I made in Florida, and my friend Don Izzo has turned it into a very beautiful sculpture. You can see the process here. Imagination is our best gift, and I celebrate it every day. I haven’t been able to find anything better, honestly.

Obsessed with this writer’s mesh top with bell sleeves. I’m wearing 3X. I painted these shoe sketches and then out of the black background and then redesigned the sleeves of my other mesh tops so now I have another option my whole life I’ve been disappointed with plus size clothing. It’s either really plain or really conservative and so I love designing plus size clothing with an edge. 🖤🖤🖤
