I create murals, collages, paintings, and digital illustrations (Prairie Majesty Oracle is one of my favorites).

I recently authored an art and activity book, Shapeshifter: The Art of Family Tragedy and How to Be Amazing Anyway, about art, grief, death, and love.

I work from my studio in the Drake Neighborhood where I create bright, symbolic, mythical folk painting or layered mixed-media collage. I have created many murals in DSM and surrounding areas: Big Tomato Pizza, Power Life Yoga, Big Acai Bowls, Enchanted Mystical Boutique, The Village at Gray’s Lake, The DSM Mercantile/ Ichi Bike Garage, DMARC. Metro Waste Authority and several schools and food trucks.

I do selective custom work when it is a good fit and can help you find the right artist if I am not a good fit for your project.

I am also a hospice volunteer and End-Of-Life Doula.

Use this section to get the parent/child taxonomies for a single post being viewed

The above pulls in each of the parents within the artist-discipline taxonomy , which is good, if I want to display them alone without their children.
Terms: Illustration/Drawing
Terms: Mixed Media
Terms: Mural
Terms: Painting
Terms: Paper
Terms: Textile
Terms: Visual
Terms: Wood

I need to probably display these like this:

Dance: Ballroom, General, Hip Hop, Jazz.

Design: General, Graphic

Will need to figure out how to return the sub categories (artist-discipline) for each parent individually and then loop through all parents assigned to the CPT (artist) being viewed.

In this section I was able to successfully pull all sub categories that belongs to the 2 parents selected. This could be good if I was trying to show all possible choices under that parent, but what I really need is to pull just the selected ones back.
