My partner carved this deer from sassafras wood which I think is clever considering deer browse sassafras leaves if other food is low and use the trunks and branches to rub itchy antlers

Getting ready for my next art festival! This is one of my favorite pieces I'm bringing. My wonderful husband made a frame out of locally sourced cedar

Brown thrasher and yaupon holly. Thrasher's are some of my favorite birds and yaupon is fruiting now in my local forests. Yaupon berries are an important food for many birds during the fall and winter.

In center an otter twisting underwater. The bottom of the spring is sandy with dark vegetation, and the sides are framed in dark limestone. The sun shines through the clear blue water above.

This painting was inspired by a barred owl that came to visit a few days in a row this spring! They are so magical 💜💜💜
