New Artwork: Remnant and Relic

in

Here’s my two-piece entry into the Got Ya Covered invitational group competition! I began by sifting through some vinyl records the Morningside music department was willing to let me use, and I settled on The Pride of America: The Golden Age of the American March. This selection in combination with my route forward has environmental and political resonance.

A straightforward painted image on the record ultimately felt too detached from my practice, which focuses on ecology and materiality. I found myself more interested in the record as a petroleum-based artifact of human industry and consumption, and decided to pursue natural degradation and corrosion as my artistic approach.

Below are the the finished pieces!

Remnant, mixed media including layered stains on deteriorated album jacket, 12.5x12.5”, 2026.

Relic, mixed media including patination and surface accretion on vinyl record, 12.1x12.1x.2”, 2026.

Upcoming: "Got Ya Covered" Invitational Group Show at Gallery 103

in

You may recall that I have been participating in a themed, multi-venue exhibition and competition each summer here in Sioux City; in its launch in 2024, the theme was game boards, and in 2025, it was puzzles. This year’s theme is album covers and/or vinyl records.

I will be participating in Got Ya Covered as a guest artist at Gallery 103, located on the ground floor of the Ho-Chunk Centre located at 600 4th St, Sioux City, IA 51101. The opening at all participating venues is on July 9 from 5:30-8pm, which will include a coordinated artwalk starting at the Sioux City Art Center. Exhibits will stay up for at least a month!

Judging the 2026 Western Valley Art Conference

in , ,

I was invited to judge the Western Valley Art Conference later this week! It’s a large annual regional high school art competition with ten schools participating in the conference from around western Iowa, and this year it will be hosted at Lawton-Bronson High School. I’m really looking forward to seeing all the entries!

Sandhill Cranes

in

I took a short trip to Kearney, Nebraska with some friends over Morningside’s spring break to try to spot the migratory sandhill cranes! Though our sunrise and sunset river-based sighting attempts weren’t successful, we did manage to see several flocks grazing in fields during the day.

They’re wild animals and are fairly skittish, meaning I couldn’t get as close as I wanted. Furthermore, my camera is a great point-and-shoot but doesn’t have the power of a DSLR with a massive zoom lens… With those qualifications aside, here are some photos I did manage to capture:

Biophilia Solo Show Valentine's Day Event & Press

in , ,

The Le Mars Arts Center will be hosting “Wildly in Love” this Saturday, February 14th from 4:30-7pm. A Valentine’s Day social hour and arts benefit with private gallery access to my solo show Biophilia, it emphasizes bringing people, the arts, and the natural world together. If you’re interested in attending, tickets can be purchased here.

The Le Mars Sentinel published an article by Beverly Van Buskirk about this upcoming event, “Le Mars Arts Center hosts ‘Wildly in Love’ event Feb. 14.”

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

“Rooted in humanity’s innate connection to nature, Biophilia explores ecological systems, growth, and organic forms through painting, mixed media, ceramics, and sculptural works. Prindaville’s practice blends scientific inquiry with expressive mark-making, creating pieces that feel both contemplative and vibrant. “This entire showcase was carefully curated for our space, bringing in the natural world,” said Draven Haefs, Executive Director of the Le Mars Arts Center. “Biophilia feels especially timely, and we’re thrilled to share it with our community as part of this season of new, intimate arts experiences.”
