So excited for my #orchid (which I’ve had for a year now) to get a new home. Five years ago if you had told me I would’ve made space & time in my life to consistently pour care into this #plant I’d laugh at you. I was too busy with work. Here’s to slowing down 🍷 #anticonsumption #grandmaera #artist

I finally refurbished my #painting from 2009 back when I was in highschool. I painted over some spilled gesso, repaired a rip in the canvas and touched up faded paint colors.
Pretty happy with how it came out!
So type in the comments, how much would you pay for this piece? #acrylic #artist

This is a sketch for upcoming #painting. It symbolizes Tarots 3 of swords reversed. Which means choosing to move past heartbreak and heal, which can be seen in the knight removing the swords from his back where he was "backstabbed" #inktober2025 #inktober2025day6 #threeofswords #tarot #tarotcardart

Drew an outline of a horse to study anatomy and let TikTok’s ai thingy make it come alive. Kinda silly but crazy how far tech has come. Makes me wonder if handmade art and craftsmanship will become the new status symbols in the age of ai. #horseart #digitalart

Refreshing my trusty
#sketchbook cover today. It's been with me for years & the paint's finally faded. I'm using #Grabie acrylic markers to bring it back to life!
Back in my art magnet high school, we had to leave our sketchbooks in a huge pile for grading. #nostalgia #sketchbookart #artinspo

Update on my surprise #painting for my doctor - it's turning out great. Inspired by #calicocritters I aimed for cute & cheerful vibes. My #autoimmune journey has been hell, but I'm grateful it's improving. I’m building my #portfolio & social media presence.
