  • new collages and the desire to birth an art book

    Collages on watercolor paper. A new wave of inspiration.

    I’m curious if any other artists have experience with creating a book of their art. I’ve found myself enamored by art books lately and would really love to get something printed but am unsure of where to start.

    Regardless, it feels good to make art. These are from last night. Thanks to this process, I feel ready for my day today.

    Some of these collages will be going to mail club members. Sign up here. It’s $11 a month, you receive a zine, a sticker, and an original artwork. Here is the sticker design for this month:

    Episode 11 of my podcast Living Practice is live here. It can also be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

  • Studio updates; lots of book making

    These are all the pages I’ve done so far in my small fruits journal 📔

    A fun doodle I did while learning a bit about human design from the gracepilled podcast
    Spiders have been showing up for me a lot lately so I made this spread
    I also made this weird spread
    I made this awesome hand stitched junk journal with ephemera pack. It’s still for sale. Buy it here

  • A studio update to show what I’ve been up to before and after my first market

    Available art, artist book spreads and previews of some things going out for the care mail club 🌟

    Shop all available art (as low as $5) and check out the care mail club membership on my ko-fi 🌟 the sticker ordered for members for the month of May is the collage about with the word now as the focal point. I love this piece and it reminds me of the importance of staying present. I am also working on a found poetry zine to enjoy, or to use as a creative prompt tool! I always include extra goodies in the shipments I send out, but care mail is generally an original artwork, a new sticker and a new zine every month. It’s my favorite offering at the moment 🌟 I should also note that Oracle art readings and collage paper packs can be found there as well.

    I appreciate you all!

    I also have 10 signed copies of my poetry book available here. You can also buy them (unsigned, and a bit cheaper) here. They are also available online at most major book retailers.

  • left behind: a poem

    not just debris

    from the storm

    fallen twigs and

    forgotten string

    small dwelling

    for growing

    found the ground

    from its

    sky-kissed perch

    oh, to scoop it up

    to hold this proof

    to dampen the structure

    with saltwater tears

    We are luckily safe after Fridays’ storms but there is damage throughout town.

  • Making marks

    An automatic drawing I made last night while watching Uzumaki. Mostly just tried to set time apart where I wasn’t doomscrolling. Being locked in during a snow storm has made it hard to resist the phone, especially since I can’t go for my daily walk. My legs hurt intensely. Luckily my ulcer issues have chilled out, and the medicine I am allowed to take has kept the horrid headaches at bay. I still slept a lot today. I also began knitting a hat. Still trying to work through my stash.

    Back to the drawing, into interesting because a lot of elements always seem to appear and I usually see some type of character or spirit manifest. Will probably do more of this tonight when I’m not knitting.
