Website Re-Launched

From Studio to Screen— my website relaunched after 10 years.

New site re-launched after 10 years.

Last month it quietly soft launched. Today it feels official.

I taught the first session of Maine Media’s Studio to Screen: Crafting Your Artist Website, where we focused on one key idea: sketch before you build. A strong website, like any solid structure, starts with a clear blueprint.

We looked at artist websites together—what holds attention, what falls flat—and kept coming back to the essentials: clean design, strong images, and intuitive navigation. We also broke down how to structure an About page that actually works—exhibitions, publications, CV, all doing real work.

After class, I finally made the full jump—migrating from Squarespace 7.0 (built in 2016) to 7.1. What started as a quick update turned into a round of thoughtful design and navigation tweaks.

Thanks to Matt Steaffens, Kyle Olmon, and JP Terlizzi for the guidance along the way.
