Next in my Language of Flowers series: Belladonna. ☠️ There are quite a few flowers that are both beautiful and toxic, but one of the most infamous (esp in pop culture) is Belladonna, aka Deadly Nightshade. Victorians added it to bouquets to symbolize silence. Perhaps as a threat or omen?

I'm going to start sharing more about the meanings behind the flowers I use in my work through a new little Language of Flowers series. To start: Dogwood! The Victorians used them in bouquets to represent Duration and Durability, most likely because they're hearty and have been around a long time.

Fun facts about Dogwood listed on a purple background.

I 💜 symbolism and use a lot of it in my work. Its not always apparent, so I'm going to start sharing more about it. To kick things off, here's "For Luck" and a breakdown of the icons I've included. By putting these together, this illustration is a wish or manifestation of luck.🍀

A hand with the middle and pointer fingers crossed, surrounded by pink and yellow flowers, green leaves, and red ladybugs, on a dark purple background.

A purple background that says For Luck at the top. There are 4 illustrations: a yellow flower that says "Lesser Celandine: Joys to come." A green 4 leaf clover that says "clover: good luck." A pink flower that says: "Dame's Violet: Watchfulness." And a flying ladybug that says "Ladybug: Good luck and new beginnings."

I'm tired. There's so much happening in every aspect of everyone's lives rn that its simply exhausting. I'm still pushing through, chugging along, but I feel like these daisies: wilted and missing a few petals. Lil prints coming soon if you're tired af too. 💜

Happy May and Mental Health Awareness month! My journey with depression and anxiety started 20+ years ago and I still go through periods where I'm on top of self-care, and periods where I'm not...usually when I'm super stressed and need it the most. 😬 How do you practice (& remember) self-care?

You can help stop racism. Here's how. ✊

Too many Americans think they can't—or won't—do anything about racism. Melanie Hood-Wilson is building communities to help reach them.

Drawing a lot of flowers lately. Trying to create something pretty amid such societal turmoil feels both trivial and important. #repeatingpattern

Call your reps today. Here in Alabama, my congressman doesn't listen to his constituents. But I'm calling anyway. My family, along with 72 million others depends on Medicare for lifesaving coverage.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Did you know I have an infrequent email blast? 📨 Every few months I send an email with updates about my art and what I've been up too, exhibitions, shop stuff, and sometimes a peek at my process. My next one goes out this Tues and if you're interested, you can sign-up via my website or send me a dm.

A factual, objective statement. But palatable. 💔 It's been a long time since I've made work that's blunt, has text, or is specifically politically inspired... I'm not sure why. It's time to embrace it again. #illustration
