Missing my rug tufting process since moving house and need to get my station set up again. I definitely want to make (and actually finish the backings!) more of these snake rugs/pillow fronts. Do you like the lighter or darker background better?

Another illustration I made for this past year’s holiday play, inspired from the prompt “creatures of the north” from art agent Jehane Ltd.’s Christmas challenge.

New year, new studio portrait. A little older, a lot more books! Every summer my family’s road trip vacation includes visiting as many small bookstores as we can in the area we are visiting and this year I may have collected the most books in one trip yet. #booknerd #artistportrait

A few misty morning scenes from Seattle and Vashon Island while passing through. Love the way things just start to blur away at the edges on a misty day.

A cheerful front door I passed by in my neighborhood. I love that rooster so much! Also I’ve never seen stairs quite like these, so eye catching!

Happy February! Here is an illustration I made from the prompt “Over the Snowfields” for a holiday art challenge with art agent Jehane. It harkens back to my childhood in Iowa, which was full of much, much snow. But that meant many opportunities for sledding!
