Me and my unsettling art at the Humboldt Courthouse 4/19. Appreciating the diverse people showing up to these events to express concern and build community, at least that part is heartwarming. However most everything else is disturbing. Demand accountability and due process! Demand radical change!✊🏽

“HANDS OFF” Humboldt style

Been shirking my responsibilities to make and take art to the various local protests. Here’s a glimpse of Saturdays International Women’s Day gathering at the courthouse in Eureka California. Cheers to solidarity. Fight for your rights friends! ✊🏽

Good start for this small community. At the courthouse in Eureka California on this sad soggy #nokingsday #presidentsday

Tucson AZ, the city wide gem and mineral shows here are bananas. Always blows me away the incredible beauty that the earth holds, and the ingenuity involved in bring things like this to the surface. This insane ~20’ amethyst and calcite specimen from weltderkristalle is no exception. 🤯🤩🤤

Mucking out the aquaponic filters to prep my victory garden has me admiring how much my scaly friends have grown since I took this video a couple years ago. Seems kind of important not to slack on gardening, or even being outside touching grass this year. Things are definitely coming unhinged… 😵‍💫

One of my first & favorite guilloche pieces. Made this on both a rose engine & a straight line for the center honeycomb like pattern. Was born out of a series of accidents which of course I cannot seem to recreate even when I try 🫠

Pacific Northwest vibes. Coming back home to Humboldt from a week of Guilloche/ornamental turning class at Memoria Technica in Seattle in ‘23. I love travel, especially to learn new skills, and always coming back to this view. The trees here have my heart 💚

One of my favorites so far. Shipped this skullpture overseas recently, really miss it after spending so much time working on it. 💖

Some of the mosaic skullptures I’ve been working on the last few years. Made with Mexican and Italian Smalti tiles, reclaimed vintage porcelain flowers, quartz crystal, and whatever found objects fit ✨

Process of some pieces I was working on for a show at friends boutique in old town recently

Repurposed some heirloom gems and alloyed up the gold for a conversion project. Added a fossilized sharks tooth to the box just for funsies, since it was for a dentist. 🦈🦷😁

Working on carvings for lost wax castings. Love animal effigies.This one’s a lioness in honor of the plight of my Middle Eastern sisters. Looks like we may be headed that way too😿

Trying to flee some other platform so I’ll be relocating bit of content. In this clip I was embossing some roller prints for my art jewelry objects. #artjewelry #metalsmithing #rollerprint #silver #illustration #etching #art

Sometimes I try my hand at different mediums. Borrowed some tools that were handed down to my husband to make this Ukrainian Pysanky in protest of war #alcoholink #beeswax #duckegg #pysanky #solidarity #ukraine #war #russoukranianwar #makeartnotwar #Sigilsforprotection #prayerforpeace

Another painting I did a few years ago when chaos erupted in Iran, note that the crimes of the Iranian government continue to this day #dictatorship #zanzendegiazadi #MahsaAmini #womanlifefreedom #womensrights #freeiran #humanrightsviolations #protest #moralitypolice #politicalart #acrylicpainting

Couple of my paintings addressing Irans recent human rights violations and crimes are still only 1/2 finished #womanlifefreedom #zanzendegiazadi #mahsaamini

This one was for my Iranian girls ✊🏽 I’m a third culture kid, Persian/German in California. My Burgermeister grandfather fought the Nazis during WW2. These factors combined will give you the most screwed up view of the world, politics and policies. Seeing whats happening everywhere is 💯 appalling. 🎨👊🏽

My most hideous work of art “Tiny Tyrant of the Great Divide” Started this disaster piece in 2018, spent years working on it at nights in between other responsibilities. Shoved it into storage after 2020 hoping that it had just become a moot point. Very sorry to see it’s still relevant.
