  • I see it in the pieces and in the whole

    I made this new insert for my travelers notebook from old sketchbook pages
    It feels strange to be working in this cover but on a different type of paper. But I am enjoying the playfulness
    When I look at them completed I don’t recognize where I made certain decisions. And new information comes forward from the wholeness of the piece

  • What are we making today?

    Marks, put down marks. Don’t be precious. Just put pigment on paper. Spray with water if that feels good. Smear colors together with an overused white marker. Draw lines. Scribble. Cute paste glue. More marks. Only stop when your body tells you.

  • First 2026 collages

    The first collage is from my sigil journal, the second was done because I was inspired by the scraps. So it goes.

  • Creative play session

    This is how I feel better

  • self-inquiry with paper

    what works? what doesn’t work? what’s necessary? what feels like a boulder?

  • The Artist’s Way

    The Artist’s Way Week 4 check-in

  • I made art

    I couldn’t decide which one I liked better but I do think it’d make a good sticker design
    My truth is that tomorrow’s my birthday which makes me both happy and sad.

    Art started this morning after my morning pages live; then finished this afternoon once the bottom layers dried.

    I’m doing my morning pages Monday through Fridays (at least) around 5:15am CST on TikTok live; you can join me there and work along if you like!

  • Re-inspired

    Remembering I love collage by digging out an old vogue magazine. I kept it tucked away because it was in my studio which I haven’t been working in. Giving myself permission to get back to my art however I need to.
