Sketches from yesterday and today. Breakfast in Gdańsk with a view of St Mary’s Church. Managed to capture “Mr. Periscope” the quirky mascot for this year’s symposium in Poznań.

Last few Berlin sketches in the books - from the Technikmuseum to the Berlin Wall Memorial, and wrapping it all up with a visit to Dark Matter. Auf wiedersehen, Germany… next stop: Poznań, Poland! #urbansketching #watercolor #berlin #germany

Painted the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church today in watercolor. This church is wild with a mix of architecture styles - part bombed out ruins, part modern glass tower. Also, yay for cooler sketching weather today!

Another toasty day in the city—91°! I’m counting down to tomorrow’s promised cool-down into the mid-70s. The best part of today? My sktchy BFF, Danna arrived today from NYC! We caught up over coffee, then set up in front of the Berlin Cathedral (and more) for some quality sketching time!

Guten tag from Berlin! Reaching 92° this afternoon, it’s definitely a scorcher for sketching and getting your steps in. Taking lots of water and rest breaks, because this city center is massive! #watercolor #ink #urbansketching

Painted this fern leaf here in Denali 🌿 Got a little ambitious and definitely overworked it. Posting anyway because not every painting has to be perfect. Still love the process! #watercolor #painting #alaska

Calling it a wrap on this carved block — it’s served me well, and I sacrificed it for a three-color reduction print. This one was a lot of fun to make, & I’m getting excited as I gear up for another artist residency in Alaska next month! #Printmaking #ReductionPrint #ArtistResidency #StudioUpdates

Spur of the moment adventure—@lucasjb2 and I decided to hop on the ferry last night and drive out to Poulsbo. What a cute little Norwegian town! Here’s a morning sketch with a side of European pastries and coffee. #poulsbowashington #urbansketching

Drua – Acrylic on 20x30 canvas. This piece is inspired by the drua, a traditional canoe that docked at Likuri Island during our trip to Fiji. Fascinating history behind these beautifully crafted vessels #wheresandoy #acrylicpainting #drua #likuriisland #fiji #filipinoartist #pinoyartist #queerartist

Exciting news! My paintings are up at Geraldine's Counter in Columbia City (Seattle). Swing by between Feb 17 – April 13 to check them out while enjoying some delicious brunch - because art is better with a mimosa and French toast! #acrylicpainting #filipinoartist #queerartist #seattle

The shadows at this ampitheater in Plaza Lázaro Cárdenas immediately caught my eye. I couldn’t resist capturing it in a sketch. #UrbanSketchers #PuertoVallarta #wheresandoy #watercolor

Enjoying a peaceful morning with breakfast and a sketch outside Hotel Playa Los Arcos. The colors on the side of the building are so full of character.
