Hi there! I'm a 23-year-old animal artist from Ohio, I'm passionate about nature (especially animals) and like to incorporate that heavily into my works. I have moved on from etsy and am focusing on a story at the moment. Im on facebook under the same name

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

I love this little cat so much

I love this! Any tips for getting more comfortable with color blocking? I am always too hasty to get detailing.

I really pushed and got this drawing done today! I also got my printer out of storage so I can scan my work instead of trying to get good lighting.

A piebald doe floats, she is surrounded by a swirl of leaves, feathers, and sparkles. Above her, to the left, and behind her head is a crow. Another crow flies (also to the left) near her rear hip and covers some of her midsection.

Alright, ive decided to sign up for something called Teezrs. I definitely do not post a lot so I wanted to make sure a bit more of my stuff is up for them to look at! Here is a collage of a few of my favorites. One of them is already featured in my profile Pic but I can never get enough of that one.

I am also still working on my boys, I haven't done a lot as I'm very excited about other art. They will come along slowly as I work on other art.

Hello! Ive been inactive, as is typical for me, but I wanted to stop in with an update. For the past year I've been dreaming up a story and finally feel up to tackling it. So, I will do my best to upload some art about the story. Ive included a sneak peak of some story art.

A piebald doe floats in the center of the drawing, she is surrounded by a swirl of leaves, sparkles, and feathers. Behind her head there is a crow, another crow is flying parallel to her blocking a bit of her midsection from view.

I'm considering the same thing, I've only made one sale as it is and would probably benefit from moving to a different platform.

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

I do so adore nature, but that tends to make me more sad at this point. Last night, I took a walk and saw hundreds of fireflies. I thought "How do other people just not see this" because it's so lovely and I just can't fathom ignoring it.

I think you did a wonderful job! Especially on the water, that's something I struggle with greatly.

Some progress on a personal project of mine. #watercolor #gouache #animalart #deerart #wildlifeart #artist #painting

The image shows an unfinished painting of two young bucks rubbing muzzles, two trees loom overhead framing the animals.

I'm not surprised but I'm not happy either, the lack of empathy is beyond my comprehension. The sheer audacity of the man we call president is just beyond me.

The cost of living keeps rising. People are being deported and imprisoned abroad without any hearing before a judge, without any legal review at all. America’s food supply is under attack, risking millions of people getting sick — or even dying.

Donald Trump is golfing.

Newest painting, there is a lot that I'm not quite happy with here but it turned out okay. These are my Characters Oak and Meadowfire. Oak is the mountain lioness and Meadowfire is the Doe. This painting is called "Whispering affections"

A mountain lioness leans against a doe deer's ear, as though whispering to her. The bottom of the painting is lined with yellow roses.

Currently re-learning landscapes. I love drawing animals but I really fall through when it comes to landscapes. It's wild the difference in just two paintings.

A painting of a forest path, it is made up of blues, greens, and yellows.

A painting of a sunlit forest path, with primarily browns, and greens. It is much better defined than the previous painting.

Found this gem

Today I celebrate this amazing artist, Jonathan Harris! He has incredible talent and I feel the message in this painting does an amazing job explaining current politics here in America.

Jonathan Harris holds his painting "Critical Race Theory" Featured in the painting are Harriet Tubmen, MLK, and Malcolm X. They are being painted over in thick white paint by a non-descript white man.

Some old works of mine! Some are as old as 5 years, I believe the most recent is the red panda at 2 years old.

Adding that the bulk of my coloring pages will not be educational.
