Found this picture of bloodroot looking for spring flowers. It gets its name from the red sap it has. It’s a mix of delicate spring vibes and bold color contrast! Who do you like to strike that balance? #inkart #botanicalwonders #artcommunity

What do you think of these delicate snowdrop flowers? They look ready for spring. If you wanna see how I drew them I have tutorials. Do you prefer drawing delicate or bold flowers? #wintergarden #botanicalillustration #snowdropflower

Forgot to get process shots. I love seeing crocus pop their little flowers out. If you have trouble drawing these flowers, I have a tutorial. They are a vibrant way to dress up the last days of your seasonal depression. #artcommunity #botanicalillustration

Another series of classes over at The Arts Castle in Delaware. Had a lot of fun with everyone and love the message left in pencils! So much creativity! Everyone has a unique and wonderful style. So fun to see the growth! Looking forward to the next collection of classes.

I’m playing hooky this week. The shock and awe is really exhausting in this moment. So I am going down a fiber arts hole where I feel safe. I’ll be back next week with fresh art and ready. #selfcare #artist #favoritecopingmechanism #fiberarts

Not sure why I love this sketch so much, but I do. Something about her expression speaks to me. Excited to share it here. #sketchbook #artreflection #doodlelove #creativejourney #pencilsketch

Another throwback piece that still feels wonderful to me. ✨I love the gold, rust, and dark blue. What kind of story do you think this creature is telling? 😁 #sketchbook #watercolorart #mixedmedia #fantasyart #creativeprocess

One thing Americans need to adopt from Europeans is having a little espresso in a tiny cup at the end of the day. Also free healthcare.

Still loving this piece-something about the rabbit mask and these colors hits just right. 🐇✨Teal, sage, gold and that deep orange, so classic! 🧡 #sketchbook #repost #watercolorart #rabbitmask #creativeprocess

Final work is here! Thought I would show you all those delicious little details that make my head spin. How do you think it came together? Which mask is your favorite? #artreveal #celestialillustrations #wintervibes #whimsicalart #indieartist #creativecommunity #mysticalart

I encourage you to make whatever creative project idea that’s rattling around in your brain - We get so little time on this Earth, and one of the ways we can make that time meaningful is by making art. We all need your stories, your thoughts, your creativity; There’s no time like the present. ❤️

Brining those sketches to life with watercolor. Everything is inspired by winter! Love adding little details to each mask. More details coming soon. #watercolormagic #fantasyillustration #creativejourney #artistlife #natureart #workinprogress #magicalvibes #winterinspired

Diving into more Appalachian inspired fairy mask magic. Stuck inside for the whole winter, but it helps to imagine different personalities for different masks. Can’t wait to paint the heck out of these! #artprocess #sketchbook #fantasyart #illustration #indieartist #natureinspired #folkloreart

✨The inspiration was what if fairies when to a masquerade. The theme is winter. If you wanna make a fairy mask for the party, I would love to see it! ✨🌙✨ #watercolor #fairyinspired #whimsicalart #drawthisinyourstyle

Guess what?! I made another one. What do you think of this one? I added trees and a shiny unihorn. 🌌✨ #watercolorart #celestialart #fairymask #masquerade #artist

Started this celestial mask with just a loose sketch and some watercolor, and it became something magical. ✨🌙 definitely wanna make more like this. What do you think? #watercolor #artinprogress #celestialart #whimsicalart

When I was little I learned that you can’t pick wild flowers and bring them home. You have to love them without making them yours Words by @charmeuse.bsky.social

If I was an LA firefighter and I saw the Brian Griffin thumbs up, I really feel that would motivate me and give me the strength to “do it for Brian”

Meet Billie. What is he? Who knows—but imagine if fairies had cryptids of their own. That’s where the inspiration came from. Billie has wandered onto your feed, bringing a bit of mystery with him (or her). Follow for more quirky creations like this little enigma!
