Urban sketch of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. There is a magazine clip saying "something about the silhouette." The sketch is shaded with a gray watercolor wash.
A quick urban sketch today.

Sometimes you just need to take time to play, experiment, and have fun with your art.

I don't know where this is going. I just know that the air feels thinner lately, and we are all breathing a little more carefully than we used to.

A flat lay photo of the five books I made in March. There’s a turquoise book-fabric covered Australian Piano Hinge Book, two black covered accordion fold sketch books, a small eco dyed (tan colored with hints of blue and orange) Hungarian Map Fold Book, and a three signature pamphlet stitched sketchbook/idea book with copies of my own art in it - the cover says creative resistance.
Here’s the flat lay shot of the five books I made in March. The alt text has more descriptions of each book.

In this art journal collage, a young woman looks out defiantly from behind many pink flowers. They are above, behind and below her. She’s from another time - wearing a hood over her dark hair. Her background is an old encyclopedia page (upside down). I’ve typed the words, “Things Happening At . . . ) along the side. A purple butterfly is flying on top of the flowers and a postage stamp with similar flowers is in the lower left corner.
From the art journal archives 2022 - Things were Happening. #collage #artjournal
An art journal page inspired by my Scandinavian roots. I created a stencil of the bunnies facing away from each other and used them back and forth. Lots of doodling for each set across. The page is framed by a leaf pattern and there's a heart at the top center.
Ready for Easter? Bunnies, bunnies, bunnies...

A small mixed media art journal spread, featuring flowers drawn with thin black lines repeated over and over to create the petals. Background is colored with purple Copic markers. This keeps my mind happy.
This is what my hands and heart want while making art right now. What do yours want?

I learned a new book structure & made it this weekend. It’s the Australian Piano Hinge book. And it’s great because you can slide those tabs out and replace the page OR you can add pages by glueing them to the tabs. Very cool! #MakingThings #InHerStudio #ArtJournal #ArtBook #BookMaking #BookBinding
