Hey there! I'm an artist, cartoonist, and writer based in Seattle. I write and illustrate metaphysical comics and draw and paint landscapes en plein aire focusing on water-based media.

My latest comic project was The BOOK of DEATH Haiku Comics, pictured with my other two!

Another vacation painting - we went to Mt. Rainier and it was pretty spectacular. Lots of wildflowers blooming.

I feel like I’m constantly in a state of “getting back into making art” or trying to make it easier to sit down and make something, so I have been making tiny paintings in a tiny watercolor sketchbook - this one based off a reference from line-of-action.com

I’m taking a haiku comics class, and we had an assignment to make a non-traditional haiku (not about seasons or nature, but about pop culture, supernatural creatures, fairy tales, etc.) Here’s mine:

deep in the ocean
she finds herself dreaming of
the human world

Today it’s gray and raining but here’s a haiku comic about painting outside.

Painting from a forest-y bit of the city park, looking towards a sunny bit of lawn. It smelled really nice here, very woodsy.

I went to the beach to paint in the morning and saw a heron.

I’m not a morning person at all, but sometimes going out early is worth it.

I’ve been going outside to paint recently. It’s really nice to just sit in a park for an hour and paint. It’s also fully engrossing. While I’m there, I’m not thinking about anything other than what’s in front of me and how to put paint on paper.
