I saw my first violet of the year today, on the first day of spring. Immensely grateful to be here for wonderful moments like these.

I drew this with pencil and named her Violet. Hope you like it :)

The patriarchal evangelical church's increasing demonization of empathy is a sign that women are coming into their power. Don't be discouraged; keep going. Love is the true heart of our purpose on earth.

Learning how to draw with less noise in my mind is proving to be quite more difficult than I imagined (started adhd med past month).

This has been my only "finished" piece in 3 weeks. I used a nib pen (novelty!), Deleter black 4 ink on a small sketchbook.

I actually loved every second of this 😭

I suppose my old friends might say I've changed too much; become too woke, too affected by the world's grief. But if they'd been there when I was a child, and heard my heart, they would know I've been soft all along. I suppose learning to let that child speak is how I'm reconciling with growing up.

We can all practice more kindness. In such difficult times it can be easy for your heart to harden. Fight. Be vigilant, be strong, and also be kind. 🌱

New gouache, who dis? 🥰

Today we remember Martin Luther King on #MLKDay and the ongoing fight for civil rights in the United States.

I’ve seen an artist do “sponsor a personal artwork”. It was 1/4 of the price of a commission and if you pay it they work on a personal project. I actually love this and wish more artists did it.

Lots of tiny bird paintings, fresh of the easel! These are all regular visitors of our garden. I felt like portraying them, as they are each such little characters of their own. Get them while they´re hot! 😃

Me trying to prep for my next art event while my toddler "helps"

#artvsartist The first two years of my child's life were completely absorbed by the basics of living. I am abundantly thankful that this past year allowed me some time for my art practice.

Some of these are details of larger pieces I haven't shared yet. Still waiting on Glaze!

Made a silly little sun for a friend's birthday card.

Hello world! I make art for the gentle. I can't wait to share my newest art (as soon as I get it Glazed) and make some new art friends!
