As new lows are made even lower, I’m reminded of this saying:
When cruelty becomes normal, compassion looks radical. I’m a perfectly normal mom but these times would paint me a radical! Hardly! I simply see the patterns of racism and misogyny and I will not abide.

One of my favorite pieces so far! I really enjoy pottery making. I’m obsessed. It’s influencing my work and vice versa. #folkart #spoonflowerartist #novelty #surfacepattern

This pattern is one of my recent favorites. Her name is Emery. She is wild, imaginative, and untamed, yet also hopeful and romantic. She is my entry into the @slowdownstudio competition.
