I'm an artist that wont be confined to one area, creating works with watercolor, cyanotype, print making, jewelry, and ceramics. In addition I'm an organic gardener, foodie, native plant enthusiast, neurodivergent, and human right activist. <3 🌈✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

I still need to put the finishing patina on this. But not bad for my second metals project. I just turned in my application to attend Arrowmont's Legacy program again this summer. I'm hoping to learn more about plant dyes! <3 #jewelry #art #metalwork #womenartist #artnouveau #Appalachia #nature

I put in several micro ponds a year & a half ago. Oxygenating plants help set the stage for a diverse eco system. In the span of about 6 months I had lots of life & damsel flies emerging! Almost everything here is a native :) #nativeplants #Virginia #pond #ecosystem #organic #artist #inspire

Gluten free teriyaki salmon made from scratch, using home grown and ground organic cornmeal. I was worried it might not be cooked quite enough, but it just flaked right apart when I was removing it from the pan. #foodie #homemade #farmtotable #organic #japanese #glutenfree #salmon #homecooking

Native gardening can be beautiful. Sadly the rudbeckia were listed as perennials, but they are annuals or biennials at best. I'm going to try getting ox eye sunflowers in there this year since most of the rubeckia haven't come back. #Garden #nativeplants #organic #bees #pollinators #can'tIstayhome

Stressed & overloaded, but I'm still trying to be productive. I'm going through some old cyanotypes and adding in stenciled patterns & painting with watercolor. I guess I need to scan them in and start entering shows. #caynotypes #art #photography #watercolor #womenartist #japaneseamerican #love

Just got my flu shot! Holiday season was a bit crazy this year and I just didn't get around to it. However, this seems the perfect time to get it. Take care of yourselves out there! <3 #vaccine #flushot #science #health #selfcare

Remember knowledge is power. Sharing information is power. Sharing resources is power. Being compassionate is power. Being kind is power. Building community is power.

Last week, the World Organization for Animal Health reported that it had been notified by the USDA that a November outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza on a California duck farm was caused by a strain not before seen in the United States: H5N9.

Things I learned in 2024, eco printing/dying, monotype, and metal sawing/stone setting ❤ wishing you peace, love, and joy, wherever you can find it. #learning #smallbusiness #community #socialjustice #gardening #determination #tryingnewthings #create #organic #womanartist #japaneseamerican
