The stories behind some select pieces.


I remember very distinctly having a clear image in my head of what I wanted the artwork to be for this. It was one of the pieces that came to be as a whole--the image and worlds colliding in my mind simultaneously and demanding my full attention. I wanted to remind myself to stop waiting for the things I wanted to show up. I need to run out into the world and find them. -- Shadley



I remember writing these few words and trying to complete the thought. It felt incomplete. Shadley looked over my shoulder and said, "Nope. That's it." We laughed for a long time--and still do--when this image, the simplicity, and all the possibilities it conjures comes sneaking back into the room. -- Kim


Rest assured, half-hearted doesn't live here anymore.
