Excited to share that one of my framed art prints is part of a show opening tonight! 🎉

🖨️ The 2026 Print Swap Exhibition🖨️
Presented by 82Parris x Little Death

Opening reception is tonight, September 4th, 5–8pm at 82Parris in Portland, Maine. On view September 4th–25th.

Now in its third year, Little Death’s annual “Print Swap” is an international mail art project that brings artists together across mediums, backgrounds, languages, and locations, building community through the exchange of art beyond the screen.

This year marks the first-ever exhibition of the Print Swap, and I’m honored to have my work included alongside 180 artists from 13 countries, all gathered in one physical space in Maine.

The exhibition stays true to the ethos of the swap: non-juried, open, and community-driven. It’s a celebration of artists finding one another, sharing work, and creating connection through the mail — something I love being part of.

In conjunction with the opening, Little Death is also releasing a small publication, Let Sleeping Birds Fly or The Auguraculum, featuring a curated selection of works from this year’s submissions.

Organized by Little Death and hosted by 82Parris, with support from Paper Tides print shop.

📍 82 Parris St, Portland, ME 04101
🗓️ September 4th–25th
🥂 Opening: tonight, September 4th, 5–8pm
🕚 Open Sat & Sun, 11am–2pm, or by appointment

If you’re in the Portland area, come see what happens when an international community of artists leaves the screen behind and comes together in one room. Would love for you to check out my piece if you swing by.
