My god. 6 MILLION acres of public lands in Oregon, including the vast majority of our national forests, will be sold in a fire sale if the MAGA budget passes.

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy!

Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th.

CNN this morning covered the Hands Off events: "Millions of people protest against Trump and Musk."

This is what democracy looks like! Portland really showed up for the peaceful protest yesterday!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

“Antenna to the Divine” featuring Camas flowers— they are native in the Portland area. I’m going for a hike today and hoping to see some of these flowers!

“Daffodil Moon” is an older piece (2021) on exhibit at Pulse PDX for just a few more days! I was trying to capture the bright joy daffodils exude this time of year. Looking for those spots of joy in daily life is essential for staying grounded in dark times! Or anytime.

“Micro Bouquet” 24” X 20”features 5 PNW native wildflowers in a dream bouquet. They are all pretty tiny flowers in real life, and they bloom at various times. It would be difficult to create this in real life! Currently on view in my exhibit at Pulse PDX.

“Pathfinder” 20” X 24” is a super close of view of the tiny PNW forest native flower by the same name. This intricate flower is about 1/4” in real life! Currently on view in my exhibit at Pulse PDX.

Only one set of these “Joy” postcards left. I’m so happy to be able to donate the profits to Four Directions Vote. They empower and protect the Native American vote. It’s important work!

So happy to share that “Fawn Lilies” has found a new home. These delicate PNW wildflowers bloom in spring, but they will bloom everyday for my new collector!
