Strange pointy stump things protrude from the sands of the PNW coast. I was so intrigued by these, but can’t exactly explain why. 🪾🪵

Dead tree stumps stick out of sand, arranged in a row. In the background is tall grass and houses. August 2025. Manzanita beach, Oregon coast.

Oops forgot alt-text on this one: a hand holds a canvas panel painting with messy acrylic marks in an abstract fashion. In the background is a black and white photograph of a poorly maintained mobile home.

#flashbackfriday

My oldest acrylic painting that I still have with me. Some say it looks like a hurricane.

I made it when I lived here, circa 2006-2007. We were evicted in 2009, and I moved 12 times before finding another stable home in 2020.

From 6 months ago - the conclusion piece of a series of paintings I created in the spring.

After this, I went back to my sketchbook to regroup where I’m creatively headed next.

🚂 Another one! That’s four chapters, folks 🛤️

Here’s your first teaser:

Another chapter draft complete ✅
Almost at the 10k count 🥳

(That’s where I shelved my last project in 2023)

Turns out getting off all social media (even though Bsky is all I have rn) works wonders for my productivity & motivation.

I hope to keep the momentum going 💪

I haven't have a commission or shop sale in 2.5 months! And my Ko-fi goal hasn't gone above 5% in over 6 months. My birthday is next week and I'd love to breathe above water, even for the tiniest moment 🤏🎂

I have new items in the shop and several slots open for commissions:

Jane Magnolias from my back yard. The flowers bloom once in the spring - vibrant and pink.

I drew this in July but didn’t think it was “good enough.” Now I’m sharing anyway.
