Letting go is layered.
Flight is brave.
So is loving enough to release.

Walruses piled together in rainbow tones.
“Heavy and tender.”
“Strong in community.”
“Armored and aware.”
Strength doesn’t have to stand alone.

I created “Take Your Time” as a sympathy card—but really it’s about presence without pressure.
Grief doesn’t move on anyone else’s timeline.
If someone you love needs space to heal, this piece says:
I’m here.
Whenever you’re ready.

Available as a print and card. Link in bio.

Octopuses feel almost otherworldly.
Fluid. Intelligent. Transformative.
For me, this piece is about adaptability—the courage to shape-shift when needed and still remain fully yourself.

Available as both a print and greeting card. Link in bio.

Crown Point feels like a threshold.
In this sunset piece, I embossed John Muir’s line into the sky:
“The power of imagination makes us infinite.”
Awe stretches us.
Places shape us.

There’s still a few spaces left in my Otter Collage class on Sunday, March 8th from 1-4pm @TokkiArtSupply !
🦦
We’ll layer patterned paper, textures, and acrylic accents to bring these playful creatures to life.
No experience needed.
All supplies included.

“Birthday Butterfly” is about becoming.
Every year we are given another chance to reinvent ourselves.
Birthdays aren’t just markers of time.
They’re invitations.

Available as a print or card. Link in bio.

Beacon Rock has always felt like a quiet witness to deep time.
In this piece, I layered geological text directly into the monolith itself. The words “Water Flows, Stone Remembers” drift through the background.
For those who love the Gorge as fiercely as I do. 💙

They’re here! 🌊🦦🌿

Come make art with someone you love.

I’m doing a super playful Collage Portrait Exchange class on Thursday, February 19th from 6-8pm @TokkiArtSupply. I’d love to see you there. 💛

If you’re celebrating love today, I hope it feels grounding.
If today feels complicated, I see that too.
New art releases next week. 💙

Back home and still letting the SCBWI conference sink into my bones.

This kid lit world is absolutely incredible. What a gift to be a part of such a heart centered community.

Thank you @scbwi for this amazing opportunity and community!
#scbwi #kidlitillustrator #scbwiny26

Made it to NYC and feeling very grateful to be here.

There’s something powerful about being in a room full of people who care deeply about books, art, and stories for kids. Excited (and nervous!) to share my work in the portfolio showcase and today.

Behind every collage is hours (and hours!) of cutting, gluing, layering, and reworking. ✂️🖌

It’s such a joy to take inspiration from nature and transform tiny bits of paper into something that feels alive. ✨

My zipper pouches are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles and feature my original collage designs. Durable, colorful, and sustainable. Win. Win. Win.

This fierce lioness collage is one of the images featured in my 2026 wall calendar focused on nature's matriarchs. Female leadership isn’t always soft. It can also be fierce, protective, and unapologetically strong when it needs to be.
Calendars are available now. Link in bio.
