🌟 “Whispers of Light” is finally complete! A 5x5 watercolor on aquaboard with a hint of metallic sparkle ✨ I started this at an Artist in Action event at Darkshot Coffee and updated the background to make it just right. 🎨 #WatercolorMagic #chickadee #birdpaintings #smallbirds #wildlifeart #birdlover

Taking a look back at one of my first mini paintings of a black bear "Emerging From the Shadows" in watercolor.

In the near future, I'll be painting more bears, but not all of them will be in watercolor. 😉 Possibly a little more controversial with the upcoming topic/series, too. #wildlifeartist

Gray wolves inspire me, and now they can inspire action. A portion of proceeds from these prints supports wolf conservation & my art journey to an upcoming residency in at Chateau d'Orquevaux! Tap the link in bio to grab a print & support wildlife & my art journey! #GrayWolf #WildlifeArt #ArtJourney

A look back at "Mountain Blues" in watercolor. Originally requested at a show by Nevada locals since I didn't, at the time, have anything painted with the Nevada state bird. Definitely a bird I'll need to revisit and paint again in the [near] future. 😉

🐇 Amid red poppies, a gentle rabbit rests—fragile yet resilient. Tiny details test me, but we’re nearly there! 🎨 #WatercolorArt

Something a little different this time… a piece with more moving parts, more layers, and more to keep me on my toes. It’s already proving to be a challenge, just the way I like it. 🖌️✨

This was the first time painting pet fur clicked for me. Rocky’s portrait taught me not just about layering, texture, or color, but about feeling the animal in the artwork.

A little throwback to Sadie’s portrait, a sweet girl I had the honor of painting. Watching her come to life through each brushstroke still makes me smile. Custom portraits are one of my favorite ways to honor the bond we share with our pets. #petportrait #watercolorportrait #dogpainting

✨ Website Revamp in Progress ✨

I'm officially moving my shop from Etsy to my website, and it goes live July 28th!

Same art, smoother experience.

More updates (and tutorials!) coming soon. 💻🎨

“The Tide Between Us” 🦦💙
This piece is a quiet tribute to connection, steady, nurturing, and full of grace. It’s the third time I’ve painted sea otters, and their tenderness and trust continue to inspire me. #seaotters #wildlifeart #watercolorpainting

Sea otter pups rely on their mothers for everything, warmth, grooming, and even floating. 🦦💙 Every layer brings out more softness, more connection. Almost there! #seaotters #wildlifeart #watercolorpainting #artprogress #animalartist #conservationawareness

The relationship between a sea otter mother and her pup is intense, full of care, teaching, and protection. Without her, the pup wouldn’t survive. And yet, she’s just as vulnerable.🦦

"Perch in the Wild Quiet," 9x12 in watercolor. Every time I finish a watercolor like this, I’m reminded what consistency and patience can do. Watercolor will challenge you, but if you stick with it, the rewards are worth it. 🌿🖌️
