Sounds lovely. I've been to Bainbridge Island, Seattle, and Olympic National Park. Beautiful area.

A girl dreaming about how her ancestors used the stars to escape slavery.

A girl dreaming that she’s racing the stars and seeing how those who came before her have shaped her life.

A girl in the kitchen in the morning showing her parents what’s important to her.

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

Day 11 of #SCBWIArtober2025 and the word is KETTLE. I’m super busy today (not really, I’m just watching football - GO BUCKS!) so I’m digging deep into my portfolio and posting something that is in the background of an old illustration.

Let's see... keeping up with SCBWIArtober. I've never managed to do everyday - going to try this year. One of my sketches pinged something in my brain so I want to develop it into an entire book. I'm also sketching a dummy that I want to start querying in the next year.
