I've been wanting to go bigger with my paintings, and this was the largest yet! 18x24 inches, which required a collection of 45 images composited together to digitize it. I'm including my progress photos for this painting as well, which I've titled "Angelic Reception." #artwork #painting

I was planning to make a chickadee linocut print and did a bunch of sketches in preparation, but in the end I never got around to starting the carving. I would still like to do that, eventually, but I'm rather slow 😅

I'm really happy with how this print turned out! I honestly love the challenge of carving letters the small detail lines on the deer were similarly fun to carve. I was eager to make a print for Mother's Day for this year and I'm glad to have technically achieved that goal.

There was a kitten camping out on my bird feeder at the start of the winter and I assumed she belonged to a neighbor...until I got video on my feeder cam of her eating bird seed. So, I set traps and converted her into a pet.

Over the weekend I finished making my print for Mother's Day, and I'm happy to finally be able to post the finished image. There are some prints available online if you'd like one. Thanks for checking it out!

Mother's Day print is in the process of printing, but I don't want to post the photos yet... so have a horse sketch instead.

A quick preview of the upcoming Mother's Day print. The second block is in the process of being carved, so hopefully it will all be finished and printed soon! #art #linocut #printmaking

I want to show off the shaker charm made by @bird-thingg.bsky.social since she's on a bit of a hiatus from social media. The entire design began as a set of watercolor paintings. I think she did an amazing job! #cat #art #fish

A sketch that I made of a small heron I found walking around under the tall grass in a brackish marsh. I'd like to identify it, but it's a bit tough without colors 😅 #art #birds #birdsfeather

Went out to enjoy the better weather and came across a skull in quite good condition, but it was too big to fit into... well, anything. So, I strapped it onto the outside of my pack and hauled it around for several miles until I got back to my car.

The American kestrel (sparrowhawk) isn't the only bird that hovers in place in midair, but it's the most striking to see. During the summer it's common to look up and see a kestrel hovering overhead, watching for any tasty mice or grasshoppers moving about. #linocut #printmaking

The last of my fish sticker mini-series: the Asian arowana! These fish are endangered and highly prized as aquarium fish but are illegal in the US. But you can legally own stickers of them, so... at least there's that! #FishArt #StickerArt

The carving for the new print has been completed (first bird print of the year) and now it's on to test printing. So far everything is looking good! Check out the first two layers and tell me what you think :) #linocut #printmaking

It's sticker time again! This is honestly one of my favorite paintings. I just love the combination of a golden lightning-patterned koi fish with the cobalt blue shadow. I was cringing from fear of ruining it as I painted it, hahaha. #StickerArt #KoiFish #Art

This is my "Kikusui Koi" linocut print, which features a nicely textured blue-green gradient for the background and metallic mica powder in the seaweed/flowing water abstract elements. #linocut #printmaking #art

I decided to scrap my first composition for a ptarmigan print and start over, so this is the first block of my ptarmigan print... version 2! I have a couple more blocks to carve before this will be done, so hopefully I can get those done soon. #linocut #printmaking #art

It has been a hard winter up here in Montana, and these poor winter babies have no idea that life can even BE anything but ice and deadly cold. I hope they can experience spring soon! (Too bad spring is still a few months away😆 😭 ) #AnimalLovers #CuteAnimals #GoatLife

Hey everyone, sharing a bit more work: a watercolor brook trout surrounded by stickers I whipped up from the same design. Enjoy the art and thanks for checking it out! #ArtSharing #Watercolor #StickerArt

I am happy to announce the completion of the "Prancing Lamb" linocut print, made in collaboration with Apricot! This two-color print was really fun to work on, and it was a joy to see such bright colors when the world outside is blanketed in white! #linocut #printmaking #art

I decided to go all-in on linocut designs for this year, so I've started the carving for the first print in my new series. I'll be trying some new techniques on this print, so this will be an interesting experience!

This is my "Kikusui Koi" print. I've got a sale going for this week (until Friday) on my E*sy Sh*p, just visit my website or search my name and it should show up. I'm bad at the whole "market yourself" thing, but I've got three print designs listed atm. Everything handmade. No machines involved.
