Little plein air with gouache at Dog Beach in Kona. We’re in Hawaii for the holidays and I’m excited for beach painting!

My favorite moments of this plein air were seeing little birds taking bird baths in puddles and seeing this big boat cruise through. #pleinair #gouache #painting #hawaiiart

Twilight Contemplation, oil on canvas. I just finished this oil painting and am really happy with it. I created the painting based off of a figure drawing session; in the painting I invented the skin tones, blankets, and pillows. #figuredrawing #figurepainting #painting #oilpaint #art #femaleartist

Earth Goddess, gouache on watercolor paper. I adapted this figure from a 3 minute gesture drawing from a figure drawing session. #figuredrawing #art #gouache #painting #figurepainting

I feel like Bluesky will just hide this because it is a figure painting. Oh no, art that has nudity! Figurative work does not = sexually suggestive. Freaking take a figure drawing class and educate yourself. #figurativeart #figurepainting #figuredrawing #art #gouache #painting

“Rooted through shifting seasons”. Drypoint intaglio print with added watercolor. Just finished adding the watercolor layers here. I love bringing together my love for watercolor with printmaking. #printmaking #figurativeart #figuredrawing #studioart #etching

Flying Dreams. Drypoint intaglio print on cream Stonehenge paper with added watercolor. I added the watercolor last night and am so happy with the result! I have a whole series of figurative prints that I now want to add watercolor to. #printmaking #etching #art #figurativeart #watercolor

Just framed this piece on the top and soooo happy with how it turned out. A collector is picking up the piece tomorrow, but I get to live with it beautifully framed on our wall for tonight! #art #oilpainting #framingart #tondo #desertlandscape #landscapepainter

I created this Cosmic Wreath for CMC’s upcoming Festival of Wreaths benefit. I wanted to capture the feeling of a new year and went for a golden palette. This piece is a combination of acrylic paint and screen print and has a UV protective gloss varnish. wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/webl...

“Ashley” acrylic on canvas, dreamscape series. I’m revisiting some of my older work with a new lens, with greater softness and appreciation. I had such bad imposter syndrome when I made this, now I look back and love it. #art #painting #surreal

Van Gogh Vanitas, chalk pastel, 18” x 24”. Just finished this chalk pastel drawing! I was thinking of Van Gogh’s color palettes of rich blues and orange, along with the sunflowers. I had allot of fun with this. #drawing #chalkpastel #pastelpainting #vangogh #art

Love seeing a litho from Grant Wood. I love his shapes and values here, so beautiful.
By Grant Wood (1891-1942), Seedtime and Harvest, 1937, lithograph on wove paper. As an original print, it appears in many collections. #art #arthistory #printmaking #lithography

This drypoint intaglio is a dreamscape dive into my grief following my mom's death and a contemplation on our complicated relationship. Our heart is joined in a tangle and descends into a spiked cholla cactus. My memories feel like spider webs, like a thing I could get caught in. #printmaking #art

Printmaking life: inking and printing this 20” x 24” drypoint intaglio felt like an athletic effort. My Fitbit thought I was using a rowing machine! 😂 Print reveal coming later this week, I’m incredibly pleased with how it turned out! #printmaking #printmaker #drypoint #etching #intaglio #art

Metal object demo for my oil painting course! When painting reflective objects value structure and contrast is essential. #artprofessor #oilpainting

Sold this 24” round painting at a recent art tour! Feeling proud, feeling excited for this big piece to go into someone’s home that loves it. This piece required a lot of patience and taught me many things. #artist #reddot #painting #oilpainting #desert #landscape

Approaching Storm at Mustang Ranch (Joshua Tree National Park). 3.5” squared, gouache on paper.
I live in Joshua Tree. Government shutdowns have a huge effect out here with the National Park. Our national parks are a treasure and the people working to preserve them deserve better. #art #gouache #jt

Incredible print 😍😍😍
This woodcut portrait of Chinese writer Lu Xun by Li Yitai from 1974 is one of my all time favourites.

The balance of the piece is mind-blowing, especially the restrained use of detail.

But the real kicker is the intentionally under-inked smoke, fading into the void...

The clouds during monsoon season in the desert are spectacular—vertical, billowing, dramatic. I love how this cloud towered into the sky. Gouache on paper, 7” x 5”. This little piece will be up for grabs in the upcoming Hwy 62 Art Tour! Visit me at stop 146. #gouache #desertlandscape
