Why am I wearing makeup in the middle of the day when I work from home? Well, I just recorded an episode of Hangin’Out, the Art podcast with Bruce Brenneise and Allen Morris. We talked about my career from staff illustrator to AD. I hope my ramblings made sense 😜 #artist #artpodcast #interview #chat

Ok, so Tuesday I am having an open house for my new studio space. Do I go more professional with my rose sleeve shirt, artsy jewelry and maybe a “bad bitch” jacket? Or go full on witchy with a boho dress and black leggings and boots? #artistwardrobe #thelook #witchyvibes
