I’ve never desired a week by the sea as much as I do know. Almost every night is a combo of nightmares and dreams of the Caribbean. Oh and here’s my pet dragon. She is a therapy dragon for sure.

Brunch in the greenhouse with Gwen- Strawberry, blueberry, oatmeal smoothie with flax and chia topped with microgreens and meal worms. When I added Gwen to my flock I didn’t know she had been debeaked- a cruel practice making it hard for her to eat & clean her feathers like. So she gets some TLC.

I am so sorry for your loss. They are so special beyond words. Lost my smudge muffin, Wally last month at 17.

Occasionally my pets become the subject of my sketches. This is Wally. He is 17 and has gotten me through so much. I found out recently that our days together are very numbered. He sat with me as I painted this.

My grandfather died before I was born and my mother died before I found these so I only know a bit about what the subject of the photos but they are valuable because they are still the log of a lost memory.

Some of my more recent work has touched on the fragility of memories and loss of generations of experiences. For this series I have been working with found photo slides taken by my grandfather that had been destroyed from water damage.
