8 days til Ireland! Getting packed up a little bit today! Hopefully everything fits in my suitcase…almost forgot I need to pack a weeks worth of clothes too. 😅

Thank you so much!

Full description/statement on my Instagram 🤗 since it can’t all fit here. 🤭

“Becoming Here” is a 3-part #mixedmedia collection that explores identity through the lens of place. Using cyanotype, natural dyes, and stitching to symbolize processes tied to women’s work, it honors the slow, tactile process of belonging and becoming shaped by a new place.

This 24-piece mixed media grid explores memory, labor, and personal symbolism through a tactile archive of image and texture. Using cyanotype, handwoven elements, and naturally dyed materials, the work moves through a quiet gradient, from earthy tans to deep indigos.

Love these!

Central to my recent work are cyanotype images of my hands, the artist's primary tool and a universal symbol of labor, connection, and care. These hands navigate and shape the narratives within each piece, symbolizing the physical and emotional labor of “making”. 💙🤲

Artists: How do you push through procrastination?

Some days the ideas are there, but the motivation isn’t! 🙃Curious to hear what works for you…routines, rituals, mindset shifts? Drop your go-to strategies! ✍️

A beautiful day in Barcelona 💙☀️

Thanks! I expose with sun and lamp, depending on the weather on the day I’m printing. The lamp also makes nighttime printing doable which is nice. So, both!

A completed mixed media weaving from last weekend. With cyanotype, handmade papers, and both diy natural dyed fibers and store bought.

Going to focus on posting more on this platform soon. Artists, what is the best way you’ve found to grow your following on this app? Consistency alone? Hashtags? Photos vs videos? Looking forward to sharing more of my projects here. 💙

Right?!! I take my granny cart all over town (Barcelona) as do all of the other residents when it’s grocery day!

Dude, I live in Barcelona and HAPPILY walk 10, 20, 30+ minutes to get to where I want to go. There’s so much to see and experience along the walk. People in the US have no patience, they just want to GET THERE.
