Artist, crafter, cat lover. Every piece of art I post here is something I personally made.

A green abalone shell I had that I decided to paint. I wanted to see if I could make a flat painting look iridescent. Watercolor on paper

The finished drawing of my grandfather with a bird on his head in soft pastels. It won second place and an honorable mention at the county fair! I learned a lot while making this. "Tony" 12x17" pastel on sanded paper.

A bit of glare, but this is an 8x10 inch watercolor painting of a white spotted jellyfish that I photographed at the aquarium. The dark background is mostly indanthrone blue

20x20 inch gouache on watercolor paper. This is the carousel I grew up riding at the boardwalk. I wanted to try painting it

This is my first real try using soft (chalk) pastel pencils. I've also never been very good at human portraits. I thought I should try to improve on that. This is my grandfather with a bird on his head.

I think im about done with this one. 20x20 inch watercolor on arches paper. I wanted the viewer to feel the grandeur of looking up at huge banana leaves like I did when I took the reference photo

Still working on this massive 20 inch square watercolor painting of banana leaves. It's taking a while, but I think it's going well

My first time painting a piece this large! I only got through this much in an hour. It's 20 x 20 inch watercolor on cold pressed paper

I made this felted dragon and sheep knight! I'm very proud of it for my first time felting

My dragon and sheep knight won first place in the misc class and best of Maryland! It's in the Maryland sheep and wool festival until tomorrow.

I added a little sheep knight to the felted dragon! He's so brave with his sword, shield, and helmet

Rolling along on the felted dragon project! It's got the whole body colored now, and the wing membranes are drying after being wet felted.

Working on the face now

Have I ever needle felted before? No. Am I in over my head? Yes. Even still, I'm doing my best

Hello! I'm told it's #Portfolioday. I have dabbled in a lot of different art mediums, but this is some of my most recent watercolor work. I love bright colors and nature

"Conch Shell" Watercolor on cold pressed paper. 9x12 inch. This is a still life painting I made of one of my vintage thrifted pink conch shells. This one has a broken section, but I thought it added visual interest

"Pink Hibiscus" 8.25 x 8.25 inches. Watercolor on cold pressed paper. The name might change, but I enjoyed trying my hand at painting a saturated background on this hibiscus from my mother's garden.

I went to a plein air watercolor event with my mom. It was held at our local wildlife center. This is my attempt at a loose sketch of a fox they had on display.
