Public service msg:

There are many Alt accounts that are amazing, but some are frauds.

Those with the #AltGov label are verified. Those without are often good too.

But beware-If an account is asking for $$, it is not legit and is using your anger to take your $$.

Example, @altyellonatpark.org

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Thinking of painting more circle canvases. What do you think?

Hoping, praying, and acting to help keep my country and its freedoms preserved for my children and future generations. It’s exhausting and scary but I’m trying to stay positive. What helps you to keep going? 💙 #peace #resist #freedom #nps #olympicnp #crescentlake #pnw

Just a reminder to find your pockets of peace while fighting the good fight.

Under the U.S Constitution, the President is very explicitly not a king. The President's wishes and decrees do not magically become law.

The coming of Spring always makes me miss my PNW home. The abundant water and trees made me feel peacefully connected to the earth and the changing seasons. Still love my Utah home and the mountains are beautiful but my heart will always yearn for foggy skies and moss covered everything. #pnw #art

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Our National Parks are quite literally are what made me want to paint, to learn about nature, to care about all creatures on this earth, to learn about and be an advocate for native nations along with their lands and their cultures…🧵 #protectournationalparks #hr471

Snowy Bison. 20”x20” acrylic on canvas.
When storms come, bison walk through them instead of turning away. They instinctively know that the storm will pass more quickly if they don’t try to run away from it. Some things you have to face in order to come out the other side stronger.

Bison and Companions 20”x20” acrylic on canvas. Feeling the need for a little peace, this painting hangs in my living room currently and each time I look at it I’m reminded of the beautiful, still moment when I took the photo that inspired it. #art #wildlife #painting

Snowy Bison. 20”x20” acrylic on canvas. 🦬 Every winter I feel a little more like this bison, just burrowing into the snow, waiting for the sun to shine again. If only we would get more snow with all of this cold here in northern Utah.

Cobblestone Beach. 20”x16” acrylic on canvas. I painted this at the start of COVID when there were a lot of unknowns and fears in my life. I’m so grateful to have painting as an outlet to help calm my troubled mind. ❤️
