Happy #KeyDeer Awareness Day!

These guys are VERY small and becoming endangered due to habitat loss from rising seas and forced close contact with humans.

This Tiny Florida Deer Lives Nowhere Else on Earth March 11, 2026, is Key Deer Awareness Day. It's one of North America’s rarest deer species, with only about 600 remaining.

"The Key deer is found only in a small stretch of the Florida Keys, and this animal continues to survive thanks to decades of focused conservation work and a community that has learned to share the road and the landscape."

Digital sketch study of a Florida Key Deer, Adult Male Key deer stand only about 30 inches tall at the shoulder while females are 26inches tall, making them the smallest subspecies of white tailed deer in North America. Once reduced to just a few dozen individuals, the species rebounded thanks to federal protection and the creation of the National Key Deer Refuge.

It's #KeyDeerAwarnessDay 🦌🎉

Key deer are the smallest subspecies of white tailed deer. Males are 30in and females 26in at the shoulder. Living only in the Florida Keys, with a population of roughly 600 animals.

Detailed watercolor painting of an American Coot standing on a log floating on still water. The bird's lobed feet are visible.

Newest piece, I don't see a lot of American Coot artwork! I knew I'd want to paint their crazy-looking feet for my Life List Series, as they're not often seen but are a great indicator that they're rails and not ducks!

New keyrings!

We've been wanting to make these for a while, and I'm so happy with how they turned out.

You can choose up to 6 different charms, and we'll be adding more critters in the future if these do well.

Photo of a painting of a side view of a California condor against a distant sunrise

"California Queen" - acrylic on board, 8x10"

I've always loved condors and while this was a challenging painting, I loved creating it. Will work on getting prints made with some of the proceeds to benefit condor reintroduction, so stay tuned!

Time Change 😩

This morning, I gave my daughter a heads up that we should show more grace, love, and forgiveness to her classmates and teachers today. They might be crankier and less patient due to sleep deprivation.

It will take days for everyone's sleep to adjust, but just hang in till then. 💙

Finishing my final read through of the manuscript for the book of new papercraft moth and butterfly projects coming in August through Page Street Publishing and it feels surreal!

Been a labor of almost two years and a dream of many more.

A pencil drawing of a blue jay, facing downwards on a branch and holding a round object (probably a nut?) in it's beak.

A pencil drawing of a sitting frog facing right and holding it's head high.
Below it is a pencil drawing of a gold fish.
To the right of them, the blue jay from the previous photo is peeking out but cut off.

Some studies I made while not having anything to do in class today :)
It feels weird/almost wrong to post such "unfinished" feeling things but maybe that's just bad social media brain I need to get over.

Watercolor painting of a Honeycomb Cowfish, Acanthostracion polygonius. The intricate pattern of this Boxfish breaks up its silhouette and helps it blend into its surroundings.

I’m painting one reef fish per day for 100 days with the hope of building a community.
It’s about how art becomes connection. If you love the ocean, curiosity is enough. 🐠

100 Days of Reef Fish
Beautiful Reef Fish 1/10: Honeycomb Cowfish, Acanthostracion polygonius. The intricate pattern breaks up the boxfish’s silhouette for camouflage
