My daughter asked for a painting of a butterfly from Mexico so I made her this picture showing the migration of butterflies (I think cloudless sulphur) over the mountains. Witnessing their migration as we drove through the Baja Sierras was one of the most amazing experiences. They feast on bougainvillea and camouflage perfectly with the yellow morning glories.

Off the cuff drawing depicting characteristics of my higher power / creator / guide. I found myself drawing aspen tree roots since they can grow in clonal colonies which share an ancient root ball. The oldest aspen grove is 80,000 year old rootball of a quaking aspen. In elementary school, our teacher took us outside and identified quaking aspen. I watched the leaves wave and glitter in the sunlight and declared it as my favorite tree. Creative spontaneity allows us to mine the depths of our subconscious for living symbols which bring meaning to our life’s stories.

Thank you note for our Airbnb host. This courtyard in la Paz is pure magic.

Settling into painting in La Paz ✌️ Feeling myself loosen… thoughts quieting, striving ceasing. Rich colors, vines and magic everywhere. Such a deeply inspiring city!

Self portraits 2020-2021

My favorite fur balls. From journal this year.

Journal sketches. Setting intention to sign and date my work :) Been working through a moleskin the past year and it holds up alright to light watercolor washes and inky markers.

The whale spoon lives on! We use it daily. The garage is getting organized and I sense more creature-inspired spoons in the near future! Time to sharpen the gouges.

I miss getting cosy … don’t you?

Can you smell fall in the air? This card is flying off the shelves. Find yours at Sundance Natural Foods, Capella Market or New Frontier Market!! Also - historic art featuring a mushroom as the tree of life, locally harvested yellowfoot and hedgehog and a coconut crab (for your amusement).

Ginny and the bee. Wilderwoman rescues stranded insects! I love this series. So filled with love.

This Greta sticker from a few years back developed a lovely patina while roaming my purse for a year. Now, she guards our pens, gives us advice, and let’s us know when our pencils need sharpening. #gretathunberg #climaterevolution

Dan inspired me to start hanging more of my work on the walls. It’s really helpful to look at a projects daily and contemplate ways to develop my craft. This piece is a print of a larger acrylic painting commission from last year. Thanks for the inspo @onwards_and_outwards ✨

Live drawing of an otter skull at Oregon Institute of Marine Biology. Otter skulls are unique because their jaw is attached to their skull. Look at those teeth! Hard to believe given their cuddly demeanor.

This assignment from class last weekend was my favorite. I took a picture orca skeleton at The Charleston Marine Center to use as reference. Then, I did my best to build a bodily representation of it. Limited time and crosshatching also made this a good challenge. Orcas are having a hard time adjusting to climate change and over-fishing. Current conditions makes it nearly impossible for mothers to carry their children to term. Orcas display visible bereavement over their losses. I feel helpless over these circumstances. At least I can experience awe send a simple blessing.

Dan @onwards_and_outwards took a picture of me drawing a picture of him taking a picture of a mountain.
