my most recent commission ☁️ makes me feel serene, just how I felt as I painted it. I I am always open to suggestions by the client; in this case, she wanted more blues 🦋 and I love it!

The Cove, 2025 • 24x30” acrylic on canvas

After a few months of quiet burnout, I left a colorful island feeling inspired 🐬🐢🌺🐠🦜 I’m happy in the vivid studio today.

working on paper, cloth, canvas with new methods. Excited to beads and thread… mainly just excited to be excited :)

Thicket, 2025 • acrylic on panel, available for purchase directly through my website (link on story & bio).

I’m continuing to crawl toward more mysticism and unrealistic proportions, wanting to merge my own memories into my fantasy world-building—something I’ve enjoyed participating in since I was little. Lately, I’ve been enjoying painting on panel and the different approach it offers my practice. The paint behaves much differently on it than it does on cloth or canvas, picking up more texture and feel—perfect for a moment in the thicket!

As the end of 2025 approaches, I’m beginning to understand how much The Race To Grow Up series meant to me… and how much I need to continue exploring it in new ways throughout this next year.

P.S. — If you live in Wilmington or Charlotte and are interested in this piece, I will refund the $60 shipping fee upon delivery! I deliver paintings for free. I can also help you hang them if you need!
