Watercolor portrait of “Boo” Roscoe. He was our yorkiepoo and was an absolute ham. He loved helping make the bed, go for walks, and chasing a tiny tennis ball. He was a good boy- we lost him this winter at 17 y.o #watercolor #yorkie

Mental health walk. Listening to 432hz, and some very yappy geese. #nature #artist

Watercolor memorial portrait of my husband’s Aunt. I love doing portraiture- but a big part of my job goes hand in hand with loss and grief, and that part is always so difficult. An aunty, sister, wife, grandma, and mother is being deeply missed. Whenever I feel helpless, I make art. #watercolor

I want to start designing and selling some stationary! Life has been really intense and difficult- so I’ve started very small. One sticker. I present to you- my sticker! I’m setting up an online shop: ko-fi or bigcartel? Hmm. I just want some extra income to help float me up a bit. #art

Watercolor pet portrait commission ❤️

This. This. I live in a cold place, so 90% of the time I am in my ratty red bathroom with paint stained sleeves, so make up, stumpy nails, hair in a bun. The worse I look the better my art does- that’s where all my attention went. #goblincore

Yes, I was happy with that bit, too! Ty Mike!

Adrienne, oil portrait 11x14 on panel. Painted her face x5 to get it to where I wanted. The first painting where I took creative control over the color choices in the piece to make an artwork I was happy with.

River Race, 16x20 Charcoal on paper. Can't beat a sweet face and bubbles.

Watercolor portrait of my Grandmother as a thank you to her. Will be up on the wall during my first solo show on Friday. She’s coming to see the paintings on view :)

Thank you! That was my favorite part and I think it shows :)

Oath Keeper, 18x25 oil on panel. Baby's first fantasy illustration. Learned a ton from this one, but am ready to move on.

Bit more sketchbook. More soon.☮️

Here's Josephine. She's huge! 32x22" oil on canvas painting. She's chilling in my living room, and is my favorite piece I've ever done. I nap under her every single day, and whenever I feel doubt as an artist I look at her to make that feeling go away. Painted her from a still of Little Women.
