Welcome! I’m a pencil artist with a deep love of nature and a large rock collection. My art reflects that and my love of fantasy and horror.

I also enjoy sharing my nature photos, hiking adventures, books I love, movies, etc.

I sell my #art online!

Hello, new followers. Welcome. A reminder that Native and Indigenous peoples are not monoliths. We have different spiritual beliefs, cosmologies, traditions, and languages. Some of us are also Black, white, Asian, and/or from beyond Western borders. We don't speak for our nations or tribes which is

So the only reason I got this one, and I barely got it, was an article I saw not long ago in one of my deep dives.

Packing to move is not just packing my books and other belongings, it’s also packing my art studio and a small business. It’s a strange tangible proof how far I’ve come with my art.

If you ever try making gluten free I’d love to know how it goes!

I was hoping to volunteer at an Indigenous People’s Day event but everything has been chaos since my father died and our move dates shifted. If you’re near one go support the vendors and dancers! Try some frybread! Buy Indigenous!

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Today we celebrate the heritage, beauty, and perseverance of hundreds of cultures and nations across North America that have thrived and endured here for thousands of years, and will be around for thousands more.

After years of advocacy and growing awareness of Columbus’s human rights abuses, some states and cities switched to celebrating Indigenous Peoples Day. Now, we are witnessing the backlash to that modicum of change. Full post on my substack now:

The racist edict that allowed Columbus to colonize and slaughter Indigenous people is still the law in the U.S. today.

What holiday we celebrate on the second Monday in October matters because it reflects the beliefs we hold about who we are and where we come from as a country.
