I just finished up this soap packaging idea for @makeartthatsells.bsky.social lettering class. TBO I was avoiding cursive for a many years because I know gen Z’s never learned it, and it’s hard for them to read. What do you think, foes it have a future? #lettering #cursive #calligraphy #art

Great Blue Heron — they tend to keep to the shallows, but our stretch of the river runs deeper, so spotting one feels rare. They’re a a quiet reminder that stillness can be its own kind of power. 🌿🪶🌊 #GreatBlueHeron #BirdIllustration #NatureInspiredArt #FolkMeadow #MichiganArtist #WatercolorArt

🪻Spiderwort 🪻 There’s something unruly and beautiful about spiderwort. These brilliant purple blooms with only three petals, open in the morning and close by afternoon. This one was growing wild in my sister’s garden. . . . #Spiderwort #Wildflowers #MichiganWildflowers #FolkMeadow #MichiganArtist

🌸 Wild Geranium 🌸 Wild geraniums are everywhere in spring if you know where to look—tucked in shady woods, with their soft pink petals glowing in the understory. Here’s my version! . . . #WildGeranium #MichiganWildflowers #BotanicalArt #FolkMeadow #Michiganartist #Wildflowers

🌸 Purple Coneflower 🌸 Showy and colorful, the purple coneflower always feels like a steady presence in the wildflower mix. I’m trying to get these classics established in our meadow the last couple of seasons! . . . #PurpleConeflower #FolkMeadow #MichiganArtist #MichiganWildflowers #Wildflowers

🌿Trillium🌿 A woodland classic that always feels like a small treasure to find. Many varieties are threatened and illegal to pick. Like all wildflowers, they should stay right were you find them (snap a photo instead)! #Trillium #SpringWildflowers #MichiganNature #newart #MichiganArtist

I took a walk through the yard, woods, and meadow just before sunset. It was peaceful. It was quiet. It was just what I needed…Happy Earth Day 🌎 🌱 ✌️

Keep your hands off my Peace! A turbulent political climate can lead to emotional and mental exhaustion, making it more difficult to maintain a calm mind, and to find the clarity needed to make wise decisions. It’s important to know, and practice what helps bring yourself back into balance.

I finished this illustration on a day I just needed to chill out, and relax. In the US, we put so much importance on productivity. If our self worth and identity is tied to what we produce, as we get older and loose our physical agility, what will be left? #selflove #compassion #relax #art #newart

Effortlessly as the rainbow iridescence shimmers on a beetle, just by being, we shine on, and light the way for each other. It’s a crazy world out there, friends, but we’ll figure this sh*t out together ❤️ ✨ 🌈 🪲 #newart #art #resist #love

I’ve been spilling over antique books, and loving the way they’re decorated with scrolls, banners, and floral accents. Many of my favorites include butterflies and songbirds. Here’s my interpretation! #art #greetingcards #michiganartist #newart #illustration #bookcover

Anyone else need a break? I’m emotionally exhausted by this crazy world 😩 I find every few hours I ask myself ‘is it tea time yet’? Here’s a teapot I painted this weekend for #mats #colorquest2025 A #tealatte with honey is my daily #sweet treat for #sensoryart #art #watercolor #arttherapy

New button just dropped.

A tweet from user McSpocky™ (@mcspocky.bsky...) reads, "Sorry folks, but..." Below it is an image of a circular sign with bold black text that says, "Sorry Folks, But Ignoring it is What the Germans Did." The sign has a red border and a white background.

I had a lot of fun with this illustration with its fuzzy texture, and surface pattern kitties, made into a card and sticker. 💙

I added some hand-lettering to this little cup illustration for some extra hand lettering practice. Sometimes you can revisit older pieces, and tweak them to fit in present work. I was happy to add this one into my portfolio this year 🥰

Luna moths symbolize transformation and hope. They’re the moonlight in the darkness, the inner guide. They’re a reminder of the good that’s yet to come. I can only hope that the darkness serves to spur us into action: being more vocal, more insistent of the truths we know so deeply inside our hearts

happily ever after...I made this one for the days when you want to bury your head in the sand (or in a book) and you need to believe in fairytales and happily ever afters. Just a little retreat from reality can help recharge the batteries. It's also a great wedding card. 😂 #art #artbuisness

Hello Blue Sky! I’m sick of propping up Meta, so I’m here now. I just make art, and product…it’s quiet, it’s inclusive, it’s pretty. My resistance is love and beauty, I believe in ✨ magic, and that we all have the ability to change the world one interaction at a time.
