Violet, 2020

This piece is a little older at this point but I always really liked it

Sweet sweet Winifred is the August miniprint for Marrow Tier babes over on Pa. Treon. Neat! Also here is a list of the places that I will be this fall if you would like to say hello and peruse my fine bones and toads.

The toads are *particularly* fine this year, I must say

I am in the chaotic scramble of Gencon prep, but somehow I managed to get these lil' guys painted and I love them so much

These buds will be joining me in Indianapolis for Gencon next week! I'll be in the art show at table 48 - come say hi <3

This Tangled Thread, 2020

Thinking about the ways that we overlap, and the ways that we are connected to not just each other, but the natural world also.

A relic, a remnant, a memory, 2022

I gave a print of this to my dentist once

some days it feels like the tension that I hold stretches beyond my form, pushing outward in wild, graceful arcs.

My body feels so small to hold such large emotions inside of it

Hi #portfolioday, I am a watercolor artist in Northan California painting bones and ethereal botanicals. I did my first book cover this year and would love to do more 👀

Here, Within, I Create Such Beauty, 2025 for @wowxwowgallery.bsky.social show "Follow the Universe."

Each person is an unfathomable universe. What worlds do we create within? How do we share them? How can we be generous as we receive that gift from others

My heart is a place of sun-ripened fruit

In a Lucid Moment, I See My Wounds so Clearly, 2024

gaaaaah I loved arcane so, so much I can't stand it.

Favorite piece from 2024. I didn't get a ton of painting done this year, and while I think it was a needed break, I am so excited to get to work on the hoarde of a ideas that I have for next year.

We were able to catch a morning matinee of Nosferatu for Christmas, and holy cow what a gorgeous nightmare of a film. I just loved it.

Even after annihilation we can choose better, more beautiful, and more loving ways to occupy ourselves and our lives.
