Artist, singer, mom, goofball, seeker of beauty.
Work in progress, continuing my mystical portal theme—which maybe can be boiled down to “Calgon, take me away!” (IFYKYK)
I keep thinking about a sea change, and crows as harbingers but maybe not of doom… #art #contemporaryart #birdart #artasresistance #fantasyart #seachange

I posted this yesterday on IG and BOOM—sold it within about 10 minutes! Doesn’t happen often, but wow does it feel great! #contemporayart #art #hummingbird #artinprocess #artist

Work in progress—apparently this is my “portal period.” I’m gonna guess it’s because I hope like hell we’re on a journey from this reality into a better one!! #art #artasresistance #artinthetimeofinsanity #animallovers #contemporaryart

My youngest is about to have a birthday, so I’m painting her a mystical frog, as one does. He’s ridiculous and delightful!

Today was load-in day for the Oceans 25 exhibit opening this Saturday in Los Angeles! I am super honored to be prominently featured—I get two + walls!! And I was especially excited to finally hang my octopus trombone—happy dancing commenced! #contemporaryart #artist #oceanconservation #oceanart

My work recently seems to involve a lot of lights piercing the darkness, or portals to a better place. Make of that what you will! And also the occasional celestial space peacock. #art #artasrebellion #maketheworldbeautifulagain #birdlover #contemporaryart

Another of my ocean-themed pieces that will be landing at The Loft at Liz’s for the beautifully curated show, Ocean’s 25!

The Loft at Liz’s is a cool gallery space above an antique hardware store in Los Angeles. The show opens 3/29 and runs through 5/13.

Just about all of my ocean themed art pieces (like this dude, for example) are headed to Los Angeles in a couple weeks, for a really cool exhibition called Oceans 25!

If you’re in LA during April, go check it out, at The Loft at Liz’s!

I seem to have a theme lately of light shining through turbulence. I think that’s my hope and goal, from the personal through the global. #art #artasrebellion #mixedmedia #sealionart #artlovers #artcollectors #artinthetimeofinsanity #followthelight

Been learning how to work with oils lately. This is currently on my easel, drying between layers. It takes longer but I’m really enjoying the process and loving the rich and lustrous outcome. #experimentingwithoil #inthestudio #contemporaryart #animalart #animallovers #horselovers #horsepaintings

My octopus investigating a trombone is nearly done! I’m calling it Syncopated Break-down. Now I just have to figure out how to hang the dang thing…

To cope with the insanity of the world: embark on a quest to experiment and push my artistic evolution as far and deep as it can go. Enter oils! Things are getting weird. I’m mixing allllll the media.

It’s a good day! One of my favorite paintings went home with two of my favorite people. Hummingbird Ballet couldn’t find a better place to land!

When I can’t deal with the political horror show I turn my focus to painting pretty pretty things, because at least I can try to add some beauty to the world. So here’s a Sea Lion because why the hell not. #artasrebellion #maketheworldbeautifulagain #mixedmediaart #artinthetimeofinsanity #surreal

One facet of my art is to take old, beat up, unwanted musical instruments, and turn them into something else with epoxy clay, paint, and my weird imagination. So here’s what I’ve been working on this week:

Hi everyone, brand spankin’ newbie here! Looking forward to seeing what the Blue Sky deal is. I may post my art frequently, you’ve been warned.
