I started a substack newsletter, go subscribe and get art delivered right to your inbox! It will feature occasional round ups of my illustration work and process, and serve as the home to the catalog of good luck charms I'm slowly building.

Fingers perpetually crossed for a good week!
I'm introducing a weekly series of good luck paintings, the illustrations will be posted here, but details about the charms and symbols will live on my new Substack, as a sort of catalog of good fortune. You can follow and subscribe (for free!)
A hand holds a folded Victorian puzzle purse between thumb and forefinger. It is decorated with four pink hearts, and held over a palette smeared with gouache paint.
Any guessed on the content of this Valentine?

Good luck, it's Monday! This week's charm is the first star of the night. You might be familiar with it from the nursery rhyme, or if you live in someplace less cloudy than me, the sky.

A gouache painting of a Hong Kong egg tartbsitting in the center of a blue and white floral plate
Sunday afternoon project: weekend treats. I want to make a habit of regularly painting "little treats" instead of actually having one (since many treat ingredients give me headaches). This is a Hong Kong egg tart; if you know where to get a good one in PDX, please share!

Really excited to share that my houses of the zodiac art is available at Anthropologie! I painted these ages ago, and they remain one of my favorite projects, but haven't been published widely until now.
