I just finished up this soap packaging idea for @makeartthatsells.bsky.social lettering class. TBO I was avoiding cursive for a many years because I know gen Z’s never learned it, and it’s hard for them to read. What do you think, foes it have a future? #lettering #cursive #calligraphy #art

Great Blue Heron — they tend to keep to the shallows, but our stretch of the river runs deeper, so spotting one feels rare. They’re a a quiet reminder that stillness can be its own kind of power. 🌿🪶🌊

🪻Spiderwort 🪻
There’s something unruly and beautiful about spiderwort. These brilliant purple blooms with only three petals, open in the morning and close by afternoon. This one was growing wild in my sister’s garden.

🌸 Wild Geranium 🌸
Wild geraniums are everywhere in spring if you know where to look—tucked in shady woods, with their soft pink petals glowing in the understory. Here’s my version!

🌸 Purple Coneflower 🌸
Showy and colorful, the purple coneflower always feels like a steady presence in the wildflower mix. I’m trying to get these classics established in our meadow the last couple of seasons!

🌿Trillium🌿
A woodland classic that always feels like a small treasure to find. Many varieties are threatened and illegal to pick. Like all wildflowers, they should stay right were you find them (snap a photo instead)!

I took a walk through the yard, woods, and meadow just before sunset. It was peaceful. It was quiet. It was just what I needed…Happy Earth Day 🌎 🌱 ✌️

Keep your hands off my Peace! A turbulent political climate can lead to emotional and mental exhaustion, making it more difficult to maintain a calm mind, and to find the clarity needed to make wise decisions. It’s important to know, and practice what helps bring yourself back into balance.

I finished this illustration on a day I just needed to chill out, and relax. In the US, we put so much importance on productivity. If our self worth and identity is tied to what we produce, as we get older and loose our physical agility, what will be left? #selflove #compassion #relax #art #newart

Effortlessly as the rainbow iridescence shimmers on a beetle, just by being, we shine on, and light the way for each other. It’s a crazy world out there, friends, but we’ll figure this sh*t out together ❤️ ✨ 🌈 🪲 #newart #art #resist #love

Here’s a moth #art throwback piece for #februarty #turquoise. Feeling the painful metamorphosis that we all seem to be going through right now globally, so she seems timely…

I’ve been spilling over antique books, and loving the way they’re decorated with scrolls, banners, and floral accents. Many of my favorites include butterflies and songbirds. Here’s my interpretation! #art #greetingcards #michiganartist #newart #illustration #bookcover

Anyone else need a break? I’m emotionally exhausted by this crazy world 😩 I find every few hours I ask myself ‘is it tea time yet’? Here’s a teapot I painted this weekend for #mats #colorquest2025
