When I get messy, I get a chance to really play with all the elements of expression. What about you? Do you like making messy art or clean art?

Can you make your own luck? 🍀 I have been thinking about the small everyday magic all around us. Why are they so special? It’s all about the memories. That’s where the real magic, the quiet hopeful magic kind.

So what’s your lucky charm? Does it carry happy memories?

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?

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?

Colored line drawing of a crocus flower

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.

The message “bye!” Spelled out in pencils.

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.

This is so cool. Like something out of a Bond movie.

This makes no sense to me. This show stood up for indigenous peoples, mental health issues, compassion, and community. This is one of the shows that made me the “radical” I am now!

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.

Someone wanna talk me out of staying up all night finishing this project?!? I just finished all the squares!

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

Lots to think about there

So cute!!!

This is so clever! I love the way you achieve value in your work

This is gorgeous

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? 😁

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

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?

2025 has been my least favorite decade so far.

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. ❤️

Working on it 😁

Brining those sketches to life with watercolor. Everything is inspired by winter! Love adding little details to each mask. More details coming soon.

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!

✨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! ✨🌙✨

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?

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
