The way my cat is looking at me right now… either she’s questioning the meaning of existence or she just saw the price of eggs.

The neutral palette allows this painting to complement a variety of environments seamlessly, making it a versatile addition to any room.
The abstract heart offers a gentle emotional touch, while the overall design remains adaptable and timeless.
Love this!!

Reflecting on the serene beauty and quiet softness of winter, a season of hibernation and introspection. This stillness, nurtures us, preparing for the renewal and vibrancy of spring, where the calm of winter brings out our best.

I’m reminded of this piece that found its happy home…It’s such a joy to see my art cherished and living beautifully in its space. Here’s to celebrating the journey of each painting and the stories they become a part of. Grateful for all the wonderful homes my art has found! 💖”

As an editorial cartoonist, my job is to hold powerful people and institutions accountable. For the first time, my editor prevented me from doing that critical job. But I will not stop holding truth to power through my cartooning, because as they say,
“Democracy dies in darkness”.

A lot of symbolism in this painting of exactly what I have been feeling this past week. I usually don’t paint like this but this gal had to come out.
