It’s a big day! My new art website is now close enough to finished for me to share it with you! Still lots of stuff I want to add, including a blog because my brain is constantly overflowing with thoughts. Take a look and let me know what else you’d like to see! www.arinraeart.com #artist #sciart

Sneaking in a day late for #MathArtMarch Day 1 (Circles) - such a cool prompt list! This sketch is an oldie, but the radial wedges of fruit cross sections are a perfect circular representation of math in nature. #sciart #watercolor #art #sketchbook

✨ Introducing a big new project I’ve dreamed of for years! This is Page 1 of my Science Sketchbook, an approachable journal of educational sketches. I want to teach you a little bit about a lot of things in a way that makes science not so scary. #sciart #art #educationalart #sketchbook #geologyart

A little overwhelmed bc I’m working on too many paintings at once rn but before I’m ready to show you those, here’s a gift I made for a friend 💕 #art #watercolor #painting #mixedmedia #textures

I didn’t mean for my art to become political, but now every time I document a National Park visit it feels so much more important. Here’s my sketchbook journal from Saguaro National Park. Thinking of donating money from print sales to the parks! #nps #saguaro #nationalpark #sciart #sketchbook

Comics are one of the most accessible forms of communication IMO. Works like these need more visibility 🌈

A page in my sketchbook from Christmas for this week’s #BlueskyArtShow theme - #monochrome #art #sketchbook #snowscape

I’m always transfixed by patterns in nature…these are so mesmerizing!

New art today! It’s been hard to muster creativity, but I’m finding my style changing to less perfectionism as I use art as an outlet for anger/fear. More colors. More scribbles. Anyway this is part of my National Park sketchbook: Saguaro, I visited last week! #nationalpark #art #sunset #saguaroNP

I made these little superb owls for my girlfriend’s birthday last year. On a related note, she’s currently teaching me about some spicy battle between Kendrick and Drake that I apparently must know by halftime. There are PowerPoint slides and everything. #SuperbOwl #art #owl #painting

Sneaking in one last #Reflections post for #BlueSkyArtShow today. This was a painting I did for a Pride gallery last summer. It’s not my favorite painting but it’s gay and colorful which we all need more of rn. Morrison Bridge over the Willamette, Portland. #pride #queerart #watercolor #art

Digging through more oldies today. I think this sketchbook page fits this week’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme: #Reflections (both meanings of the word). I lived in Chicago for 6 years, moved away in the emptiness of July 2020. I came back to visit in 2024. #art #urbansketching #sketchbook
