Forbidden galaxy berries 😍

I appreciate you for the kind words! 💚

Thank you! Yes agreed! 💚 Insect metamorphosis, specifically the moment of emergence is one of the most mesmerizing moments in nature for me. Made sense to start a painting series.

Digital painting of the 13th doctor and TARDIS from the BBC's Doctor Who series alongside her quote "Whole worlds pivot on acts of imagination."

Favorite Doctor + favorite Doctor Who Quote.🎨

I adored Jodie Whittaker's portrayal of the Doctor. The bright color palette, creative whimsy, the social awkwardness, caring deeply for her companions despite not always being able to express it. Y'all, I felt seen with this one. 🥹💚

These cuddling cuties are ready to journey to their new home!
I adored painting this uniquely personal piece for some lovely iNaturalist hobbyists and fellow nature nerds. 🥹💚🏳️‍🌈

That means so much to me thank you!
A safe space for creativity and healing through art is exactly what we are trying to provide here. Kids need to feel safe and valued now more than ever. Even if no one shows up, we stay open every weekday just in case 💚

Early stages of an acrylic painting of a Halictid bee.

No students showed up for my afterschool art class today, so we're making the most of it with this pollinating Halictid. 🎨

I have an acute aversion to the color orange (especially living in the US right now 🫠) but the underpainting method has been helping brighten midtones/improve realism.

Love those robberflies! Proportions of a helicopter 💚🚁

Oh that sounds super fun!!!

Hopefully not rage-inducing. 😅 They are quite an issue. No one wants maggots in their blueberries.

I am fan-girling the artistry of ‪@lindzeamays.bsky.social‬

Thank you so much! It was a fun one to illustrate. 🪲💚

You said it! 💚🪲

Thanks so much! It was a fun one 💚

A huge, gangly wasp ovipositing in a dead beech tree. Her abdomen is long, and her ovipositor is much longer. It loops from the end of her abdomen over her back, then enters the tree trunk perpendicularly.

A wonderful #InverteFest visitor! Giant Ichneumon Wasp 🌿

Thanks! People seem to like my "electric bug" style so leaning into the color and whimsy! :D
