Those colors are stunning

When I feel guilty for posting about my art while the world burns, I think of Mister Rogers and Bob Ross, tiny offerings of gentleness and wonder are still necessary. My art isn’t escapism to ignore the world, it’s how I survive it.

Happy place

Happy spooky season! You can now collect all three of my pins together for a discount and free shipping BooBat 👻🦇 Mystic Snek🔮🐍 Corpse Flower💀🌸

Between Planes. 48" x 84". Oil on Canvas.

Fun fact. Between Planes was supposed to be my first mural in LA but the budget went from we'll provide supplies to "oh we didn't think supplies would cost that much". I respectfully declined.

Ohhh I’m such a hoe for Bob Ross. 🥹❤️ I love that he used his art to process his traumas too. When I found that out it made his work click for me. Other wise he was kind of just a hippie dippie dude Lolol

The internet got mad at me cause I said I have adhd. Apparently it’s make believe. It be really cool if it was. So anyway this is Mr.Meowgi

What is the best advice or lesson an art teacher gave you? I'll go first. "Drips are sad, even bigger is even better, red white and black is the color scheme for mediocrity." You kind of had to be there I guess lol

Go touch some grass, leave wild life alone and make art. 🫡✨

Etsy lost the plot long ago. Among many reasons this is at the top of the list.

Giving power to creatures that seemingly hold little to none 💡👄💡

Thank you! 🖤

Currently obsessing, drooling, dropping on my knees in love with this random perfectly straight line. I mean creating these are absolute chaos so when something like a straight line occurs I marvel at it.

Bring back animatronics 😭😭😭

I say well done padawan but much to learn he has. 🫶🏽

The TikTok ban shows if our government wants to they can. So health insurance, gun control, student loan debt and better education are all things they’re loudly saying are not a priority. I’m suddenly feeling very French.

As a millennial I understand apps come and go. But to have one taken away with zero evidence while others remain that have actually committed crimes. So yea I deleted my meta apps off my phone for a while maybe indefinitely.

Mystery solved! I’m so glad you found out lol it was driving me nuts

It’s just where most community and my sales are. Trying to get everyone to find me on other apps is going to be hard! But I am trying!

Like so many people I was laid off because of Covid. I turned to social media specifically TikTok and not only found an amazing community in a difficult time but also income security that I had previously lost. Getting ready to lose it again just after the holidays is so disheartening. 😞

One of my favorite pieces from 2024. Milk and Honey. Oil on Canvas. 16” by 20”. Available on my website 🫶🏽
