With the northern lights lighting up the sky this week, I had to bring back this Aurora borealis inspired artwork. I think I might turn it into an art print or greeting card...what do you think?

Here's your first glimpse! ❄️
Once Upon a Winter is a love letter to the north — not the place, but the atmosphere. The frost that glimmers like glass, the whimsical union of fantasy and reality, and the delicate bits of magic. ✨
My winter collection will be dropping soon, keep your eyes open ❄️

October reading wrap-up! I went into this month wanting to read more, and somehow ended up finishing a few books that completely stole my heart (and one I’m still not sure how I feel about 👀).

Trick-or-treat! Here's some art that's sweet 🍬
🍂 Every October, I fall in love with the strange and the shadowy all over again. I've created so many pieces inspired by Halloween and the creatures that go bump in the night.
Happy Halloween ghouls and witches! 🎃

Over time, I’ve learned that feeling successful at an event isn’t just about sales. It’s about being prepared, present, and proud of one's setup. Here’s my personal vendor checklist that helps me feel grounded and ready for a great event, even if there are a few bumps along the way.

Little fragments of story, magic, and ink...These are the pieces you loved most, not just because they're beautiful, but because they resonate with you.
Thank you for making space for this kind of magic✨

Out of everything I’ve created, these are the ones that made me smile the most whether it was during a late-night drawing sesh, a chaotic sketch dump, or the first time I saw someone else fall in love with them too.
They’re quirky. They’re useful. They’re a little unexpected...
And they’re very me 😌

I think this one is my favorite iterations of my book stack bookmarks 📚 Not only am I obsessed with the lighting, but I love the various book titles included that are perfect for an autumn TBR list! 📃 I had so much fun coming up with this two-sided bookmark design for my part of the cozy boo box 🖤
