Sowa Open MarketAfter a life-long obsession with all things vintage, I decided to turn forgotten materials like lucite beads, aged brass and enameled flowers into hip, modern jewelry. I love to break the color 'rules' by mixing unexpected hues, finding inspiration from nature, found objects and my oh-so-stylish friends. I hope you enjoy my creations and remember to wear them with sass!

I am a Rhode Island-based graduate of Bates College who graduated in 1996 with a degree in Studio Art. I am not sure what the exact definition of “Studio Art” would be, but I assume that it has something to do with the creation of art. In a studio. Which is what I now do for a living.
When I first started out, I painted lonely self-portraits, landscapes, and animals. I was strictly a nostalgic and technical artist. Not to mention an isolated artist who rarely did anything more exciting than watch cartoons and nap. And possibly eat pasta.
At some point along the way, I remembered that I had wanted to be a cartoonist when I was in college, and I started tossing a little humor into the paintings. Flying people? Hungry sharks? Nude blue alien women getting picked up by UFOs? You bet. And for reasons that I cannot explain, meeting the stunning woman who would become my wife somehow led to the addition of penguins, robots, zombies, flashers, and poop. In fact, these elements have become such a dominant part of my work that people are actually shocked and horrified when I resort to my old ways and create a landscape where no pooping penguins are killed by topless robotic zombies. It’s pretty cool.
I should also mention that I have published my first book, entitled Goodbye, Penguins. It came out in the fall of 2007, and tells the story of fifteen penguins who disappear one by one in humorously tragic ways. The book has been greeted with a surprising amount of enthusiasm, so expect many more illustrated stories in the future.
