Hello I am an acrylic painter and watercolor illustrator. My paintings lean towards the odd and disturbing, while my illustrations tend to be on the cuter side.
The Annual Hallows Eve Parade
10/9/25
14x18
Acrylic’s in canvas
The mice of the forest are having their annual Halloween celebration. This years winning float is marched though the town, spooking the little ones and swiping at anyone who gets to close.

Bellflower Mane

Watercolors on paper After
This piece was an absolute pain in my ass. Drawing and painting a bunch of little petals is not fun. I think it was well worth it in the end.

The Sun Looked Up At Heaven With Envy
8/1/25
Acrylic on canvas
Envy is a sun we are all guilty of committing. Some however take envy to the greatest extremes. They could have the world revolve round them, but they’d still find someone and Seth that they don’t have what they do.

Gonna be in Worcester this Friday selling my art at the Worcester center for crafts. They’ll food drink, various artists and sellers, including me! I’ll be selling prints of my watercolors, the original illustrations and maybe some paintings.

We live in a world where your childhood is a double edged knife. We wish we could be young forever, we bemoan our lost youth and yet judge those who are considered childish. So we hide it away, not realizing that it’s still waiting. #art #painting #bunny

Not every painting you’ve ever made has to be remade. But remaking one sure as hell helps you see just how far you’ve come.

Some more fae creatures for my fae collection. I’m rather surprised that I’m still so into this. I normally lose interest by now and go on to something else. It’s probably because it’s interesting to research it.

I’m as pleased as punch with how this fella came out. I feel like the shirt could use more detail, but I think that’s just cause the hat came out great.

I made this thinking about self grieving. Mourning what you wanted to be, stuck in place as you rot.

The final piece in what I think I’ll call my big friends & little friend collection. I’m pleased as punch with the bears face, but I’m still not good at hands.

Working on what I think will be my last illustration for awhile. I’m not gonna say what animal this one will be, but I’m pretty sure you can guess.

Behold the hippo in all his splendor. I feel like the fat rolls around the neck are the best part of this piece, while the legs of the table could’ve been better.
