As a big fan of #thedarkcrystal I was always enthralled and calmed by the mystics… love their faces and all of the patterns within. ☺️❤️✨🔮 #foryoupage #fanart #jimhenson #brianfroud

Latest Illustration project is book covers for the seven chakras. This is the one for Red. There’s meaning behind the objects shown, it will eventually become a journal ❤️✨💃

Working on a lot of #fanart lately ! First time adding #rainbowbrite to the mix. Of course I’m a fan… I don’t know if you can be a xenial and not be a fan. ✨✨🌈🦄

Many creatives often find it difficult to promote their own art but Inspired to Write has some wise words for those struggling to promote their art. Save these quotes for the next time you’re feeling hesitating about posting your work and remember, we LOVE to see your work! 😍 ✨ #art

Some lettering layouts thinking about how to create words within a scene vs on top of the art. #illustration #kidlitart #art #digitalart

I don’t know how it works but it does. I’ve never felt worse after making art, only better. #art #womenartists #alwca #fineart

My latest entry to an illustration award (didn’t win) but I really enjoyed creating these and may rework them for other competitions. I liked the sepia style of pencil drawings. ☺️ #kidlit #womenartists #illustration

Work in progress on this one. I think it’s going well into a couple years. I’m hoping to get into a #alwca art show! The tiny details are things related to me… @alwca.bsky.social 🙏😅

To every politician/legislator worldwide deciding to give Big Tech and GenAi companies legislative wins, you are siding with thieves who are being exposed in the courts. Also training from ill gotten sources is standard operation of all GenAi Dont bet your careers on thieves. It’s not worth it.

After my brain injury I have been very VERY neurodivergent. When I say I am too distracted and have so many things going on… and these are just the things I started up in the past week!! And I’ll finish them. Everything gets done, but sheesh 🙄 #artproblems #traditionalart #artprojects #merryholidays

One of the many subjects I love to explore, is fairies! Creating smaller beings living in nature or using human size objects…think “the borrowers” “arietty” “the littles” or even something like “two bad mice” 😍😍😍 #illustration #fantasy #fairytale #fairies

A little science illustration project 😁 it reminded me of a fourth grade project where I had to draw the human eye diagram. The class voted mine as best! I never forgot it and here I am at 45 still drawing science pictures 🤓😆 #nonfiction #kidlit #scientificillustration #illustration
