What began as a bunch of doodles turned into something so wonderful! My mission when creating this was to have a great time! I wanted to just sit down and create from a place of joy.

bc I don't talk about these enough. I love them and they bring so much joy to my life when I see them on my waterbottle, sketchbook, journals, etc. So yeah I make these. I draw/paint/illustrate them, edit, print, and cut them by hand bc I like to be able to try out all these different designs

The inspiration vs the artwork: This cloud painting I made in 2024 was inspired by a picture of these beautiful clouds that I took on August 27, 2023.

Straight on image of an acrylic painting on a 6x6 inch canvas. The painting is all different shades of blue and features a hand, palm up, with a little star in it. Another hand reaches for the star with thumb and pointer fingers. This is is a painting about the magic that we find and moments that we can hold it. A reminder to treasure the joy, love, sadness, grief, and all the emotions. A reminder to be grateful for the time you have alive as a human being.

Recent #sketchbook spread

I’m loving all the #diversity of trees in this book that I got from the library.
Amazing how much more interesting life is with more diversity, right? :)

“The Magic We Create,” acrylic paint on vinyl record, 2024.

Thinking a lot about this painting lately. I hope she’s in a good home now, spreading magic and joy to new corners of this world.

A painting of two blue hands, almost liquid and blobby, dripping and falling apart. In between the hands, wrapped around their fingers is a thin rainbow line with sparkles. This is all painted on a vintage vinyl record.
