and also scary new wordpress editors Well I would say in the last few weeks I have officially begun getting the hang of my new alcohol markers…but the problem I have discovered today is that my poor old flatbed scanner is not. a. fan. I never knew that losing saturation would be a problem for me […]
lovelytheband’s song doesn’t have anything to do with this painting but it was an easy title. Sigh, ugh, I don’t know…finally used a painting as an opportunity to express a feeling I’m afraid to talk about. Won’t even here. But yes, this girl is creeeepy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa fffffffffffffffffff. Used oil paint. Very goopy. Very hard to […]
Pending revisions after I stare at this for a while, I am happy to present my 6th Emotia painting, “even though i still feel broken.” It’s been about a full year since “i do believe in new beginnings,” and my emotional landscape has gone through a lot this year. I have begun to manage my anxiety […]
I have been completely confused by myself because I have not posted this image since my show last week. I thought I would do it right away. But I had an experience with a viewer at my gallery showing with this piece and its statement that literally rocked my world. It was amazing. I came […]

Times have been terrible this past week. Honestly the lowest of all. My life has been essentially shattered, and not by something beyond my control, but by my own thoughtless hand. I’ve lost an enormous amount of what I’ve held dear. Fortunately for me, I married a man whose forgiveness and tenderness know no bounds. […]
Have I mentioned lately how lucky I am?
I am thrilled to be able to add a new Emotia drawing to my ongoing series! This series is and always has been an evolution of self. It’s shown so many wildly different selves that began in July of 2014, two and a half years ago. Since then, I feel like I’ve gone through so […]
lol so I’m a bit embarrassed but I’m going to write about my entire thought process behind this drawing anyway. This is not only not my first drawing of this color palette, but it’s not my first sad Myoku drawing, and it’s also not my first featuring Fall Out Boy lyrics. But like, I love […]
