Painter and writer living in the Hudson Valley, I am inspired by updating art history and seek a connection to my ancestors. My goal with my art is to educate my descendents.

Nellie Bly was a trailblazing journalist known for her record-breaking trip around the world in 72 days and her undercover exposé on insane asylums, which led to mental health reforms. She paved the way for investigative journalism. #womenshistorymonth

🎨It's Gabriele Münter's birthday! A fearless woman who defied convention, Münter lived life on her own terms. Her story is one of creative risk, resilience, and artistic brilliance.

Bsky word limits are too low for my posts. UGH.

Does anyone need help getting a creative project off the ground? I have a couple places in my 6-week accountability program starting next Tuesday at 7pm (NY time) on zoom. I swear this works and is fun too!!!

💔 Love+rebellion in Ancient Rome! In 270 AD, Claudius II ordered a priest named Valentine killed. His was secretly performing marriage rites for soldiers. The Emperor believed that men w/wives at home would be less willing to fight
Over time, Saint Valentine’s sacrifice became a symbol of devotion.

Happy Bday Arabella D. Huntington (1850-1924)
With a discerning eye, she acquired masterpieces that were the envy of art lovers everywhere and the foundation for the Huntington Library/Art Gallery CA. The Met Museum has 2 Rembrandts, a Vermeer, and 100s of her other paintings. She lived with art. ❤️

In the late 1800s, despite the prudish rep of the Victorian era, racy sarcastic valentines, known as "penny dreadfuls" became a sensation. The trend was so extreme that several countries banned the exchange of Valentine's Day cards altogether. Meet Esther Howland- www.tillystudio.com/journal/esth...

Grounded in the quiet strength of the forest, this painting of tree roots holds the whispers of ancestors and the legacy of great women artists who sustain my practice. Nature reminds me to stay present, persevere, and honor the roots that support me. 🌳❄️
