This kingfisher took absolutely everything out of me — 23.5 hours of work! As one of my favorite birds, I just had to capture its stunning turquoise plumage in wool.

Winter on a Pembrokeshire Farm.
Winter is a slow burn for me. I have to remember to light the candles;find the beauty in the bare branches against the grey skies, revel in the giant orange sun sinking early into dusk. It’s nature taking a rest. She needs to, as do we all.

For Day 9 of #ArtAdventCalendar, a small butterfly elephant from last year! Paper mache, glass eyes, metal wire, painted with acrylics using a sand effect medium for a textured surface.

Waves coming off the basalt columns at Reynisfjara black sand beach. It's amazing that the camera technology is so good now that this was handheld at 1/8th second - the columns are sharp but I was able to capture the movement of the water too.

Over the past few weeks, HiLoBrow has run installments of my long essay “Without Care,” which maps out a 21st century gothic that I started calling The Devoid. All four installments are now live and you can read the whole thing here; enjoy!

Groove-billed Anis are fabulous birds. A type of cuckoo, this species lives in social groups of up to 10 birds and they collectively guard their territory and even share a nest together!
These birds were taking a break today at @tapirvalley.bsky.social to groom each other.

Yes hello my tiny jewelry empire has a new citizen in testing today!
I inset his stripes so they’d be easier to paint but I am not sure it worked, ditto with how small his little pink ear sets are. I also need to find a 1MR Posca in dark blue so I can outline his ears, lol

“Prairie Life”
An older piece with even older origins. My undergraduate years included significant research and exploration time in short-grass prairie ecosystems. These are the organisms and places I still love and cherish from a formative time in my scientific journey. Sacred. (Check alt text)

Early spring, while Dad was in his final stages of cancer, I went back to my block bird art & gave my mind the task to reduce the birds more, using circles this time. I ended up doing 36 warblers, making these WORBS as a result. Realized I never shared them here, so short thread. IDs in alt. 1/3

Extremely happy to announce I'll be giving a (virtual, alas) talk at the upcoming International Meeting of Early-stage Researchers in Palaeontology (IMERP)! Taking place in the Pterosaur Heaven (Santana, Brazil). Talking about (invisible?) women who shaped dinosaur palaeoart.
