My first post on Bluesky! I do many styles of #photomontage work with different topics, but these of #portlandoregon are my top sellers. All #city #walking, #exploring and #photography is mine. (And no AI used.) I love doing work steeped in #nostagia and preserving #memories.
@ellz.bsky.social I just had an idea, if you order a print from me and you think you’ll see the “Chicken Man” from the protests, I’d love to send you an extra print (11x14 or an 8x10) to give to him (no extra charge). My health issues keep me from going out, but I’d love for him to have one!

Keep Portland Weird! I couldn’t resist making this piece about Portland’s creative, whimsical spirit—even in protest. We’re not a war zone, just a weird, wonderful city speaking up with heart. There’s more power in joy than in any act of anger. ✨🐸✨ #portlandoregon #keepportlandweird

Happy #ValentinesDay, or #GalentinesDay, or Ordinary AF Day! I hope you 🛑 STOP for just a moment…For #Love, or In The Name of Love! A smile, a hug, a grateful thought, or spoil yourself with a piece of delicious chocolate, or a boba tea (my current favorite treat), or all the above? ♥️ link in bio

Excited to be in "TREE" at #VerumUltimum #gallery, opening Sat 15th! 🌳 My piece "Road from Oblivion" (archival print on wood, ed. of 10) was sparked by a 2021 road trip + a midlife reset. A portion of opening sales supports ONETREEPLANTED! 🌱 Shop via my bio & join us Sat 15th, 5–7 PM!

I’m loving this #textile series on the Humane Space #app — a collab with the Denver Art Museum (yay my home state!) #humanespace
This week in the app, we’re celebrating the artistry of Qing dynasty dragon robes with the Denver Art Museum. Delve into the legacy of craftsmanship and storytelling behind these stunning garments. Here’s a sneak peek!

This is a #photomontage #art piece printed on metal that I have at the PAM Rental & Sales Gallery. It’s named, “Who Are You Going to Call?” — I created it in 2020 (ya know, that crazy year). It has well-known buildings and skyscrapers from cities all over the #UnitedStates. Continued…

“Stop for Love” — ♥️🛑♥️ from my new “Urban Messages” series features fun, heartwarming signs I stumbled upon while walking through Portland neighborhoods. Inspired by these moments, I turned them into prints and postcards—a twist on traditional Valentine’s cards or an everyday card. [ Link in bio. ]

My favorite #app, especially now…I can learn about the wonders of this world ( #culture , #technology, #art, #science, #history, and more) often showing the overlap of topics. More curiosity and learning and less doom scrolling!
We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Denver Art Museum for a week-long celebration of artistic textiles from around the globe! 

Together, we’ll unravel the stories woven into stunning works from the Denver Art Museum’s vast collection of textiles. Discover:

I’ve created a special #postcard set featuring #love themed designs. Each set includes 2 of each design (6 total) for just $10. These sweet (but not gushy) urban found messages are good for spreading #love to anyone. [Link in bio!]

These are just a few shots from my frequent urban walks…very appropriate sightings.

I am loving Eva’s gorgeous mixed media work. I have been doing some neurographic art to calm my nerves (which I’m loving), but this is making me want to do even more play with paper…maybe a combo would be fun. 🤔🙂

2025 has been a whirlwind so far. I’m not the biggest fan of #ValentinesDay, but this year feels like a perfect time to #sharelove. I have a postcard set of three love themed designs available now! And art prints too! (Link in bio)​​​​​​​​

@kindracrick.com gave me such a warm welcome, so I have to share her amazing #sciart! I was privileged to see this network of neurons at PSU a few years back. Stunning!
“Embracing Connections” was an #art installation intended to delight.

Folks walked into the space and an interactive network of neurons illuminated! Netted fabric held synapses close in an embrace like the perineuronal nets that inspired this work. 🧠

#Artists, please keep making & sharing ur art! #JamesBaldwin did a speech in 1963 — more timely than ever. Art of all disciplines is even more important than ever. #Creativity is the heart & soul of humanity. Connecting to creativity & nature might be what saves us in this warped system we live
