Surprise!

Surprise! | 8"x10" | Watercolor & Ink | Stonehenge Paper





BFF's for realz.

I'm happy with how this painting turned out, but I wish I kept it simpler in the end. I just really wanted to paint some sunflowers since they are EVERYWHERE in Colorado. 

Prints are available here!

Cover Your Head

Cover Your Head | 8"x11" | Gouache, Watercolor, & Ink | Stonehenge Paper




One of my latest paintings, "Cover Your Head."  The above sketch was hanging out in my moleskine for a while because I was happy with it just being a sketch. The ideas for a final piece didn't emerge until a couple of months ago, and even then I was still nervous that I would somehow ruin the sweet effect of the simple sketch, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! The text reads, "cover your head & wait for it to pass."

Prints available in my shop!

Lucky Cats and Stickers


Black Maneki Neko |  3x4 | Gouache & Watercolor | Watercolor paper


White Maneki Neko |  3x4 | Gouache & Watercolor | Watercolor paper



Of course, I couldn't resist making stickers :3

I really needed to make some mini paintings and I thought maneki nekos would be perfect! Really, I was testing to see how quickly I could paint these. My idea was to paint mini same-day requests at craft shows, but I need to get faster first! I hope you like them :3

Made some sticker packs too since stickers are way cool!

I'm baaaaaaack! Sorry it took me so long, but I was hiding in the shadows these past couple of months preparing for a craft show. Not surprisingly, my momentum and productivity increase significantly when I'm not internet-ing. My apartment is also TONS tidier...which is nice. The above paintings were super fun to work on. Turns out I really enjoy making small, simple stuff between larger projects! Hopefully I can make more like this and possibly make a zine? But we'll see!
