I was told many times over in grad school that painting flowers or garden imagery “wasn’t contemporary.” And here I am now, still doing just that. My new series, “To Grow Something Good,” is big, bold, and vibrant— these paintings take up SPACE. I’m not interested in feeling small. 😤

✨Friday Studio Inspo✨ I accidentally grew pumpkins last spring/summer (thanks squirrels!). I was unaware of how magnificent and fleeting a pumpkin blossom is. They only look this glorious for about half a day. #gardening #urbangardening

Thinking about the swallowtail butterflies I raised over the summer. A small act of resilience. 🤍🦋

Drawing on the floor— it brings me a sense of comfort and safety. It’s childlike, ya know? Doing my best to find peace and calm in the studio, however I can. #drawing #pumpkinblossoms

✨Friday Studio Inspo✨ A garden boutique I made last October, containing dahlias, cherry tomato vines, and mojito mint. 🌸🌼🌸

Obsessed with the color chartreuse right now.
