For next steps, I’ll be working in my studio to develop a narrative around my art and a plan for exhibit. I’ll be sharing more of my sketches soon. Stay tuned, and thank you for your support!

My Washington State Ferry Artist-in-Residency wrapped up on Sunday! I had so much fun; everyone was incredibly friendly and gracious. It was a joy to be on board and learning more about the WA State Ferry vessels, crew, and passengers. On Sunday, I gave a little sketching demo.

Prepping paper for my residency on the Port Townsend-Coupeville ferry starting tomorrow.
I prefer to tear down large sheets and plan to prep plenty of extra.
Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between July and October by looking at the decadal average line positions.
