Thanks for all the birthday greetings! I celebrated turning 34 by working all day, and then doing a quick self portrait 🙃 (I also had a great pretty chill weekend leading up to it, my guy baked me my traditional bday pumpkin cake which has of course

In-progress portrait at @atwoodatelier featuring @oil_portraits_by_gail ! One of my favorite things is when different artists portray the same subject - seeing all the various approaches is so much fun.

Come see for yourself Friday October 4th durin

I started this piece on August 4th at @atwoodatelier , it wasn’t quite finished by the end of the 3 hour session but I was pretty happy with it… didn’t share it for some reason though.

Then I got an email this weekend saying the m

I typically do portraits, but sometimes a pose will capture my fancy and I do the full figure. I loved the circular shape our fabulous model’s arms made at @atwoodatelier this week - and how her foot breaks the overall form and is pointing the

Attended a portrait workshop at @atwoodatelier a couple of weeks ago, it was lovely! I’m really happy with the results, I did a 3 color palette as usual but added Burnt Sienna for the first time at the encouragement of @philipsalamone (is this

Sooo I met up with my friend Brandon at a festival he was vending at a couple of weeks ago and fell in love with these adorable blackberry earrings he made, aren’t they sweet?? He’s a beader extraordinaire, you can see more of his work at

I’m still at it… will I ever get good at remembering to post my work? I know I usually only share paintings, but I do a lot of “just drawing” as well! I usually really like them, and decided I should share them and stop worry

I’m back! This was a two session pose with a lovely model at @atwoodatelier this week. The first two images are both of the final painting, pics look so different depending on the angle of light (either too smooth or too rough depending on how

Did this a couple of months ago at @atwoodatelier I worked with much wetter paper than usual and used a green instead of a blue and I loooove how she turned out!

Also, check out those glasses 🤩 I’m still extremely proud of myself for keeping

Did this quick portrait last night to shake off the work week. She cute!

Had some perfect plein air weather this weekend! Painted on site for a couple of hours and finished it up at home. So much green…! I haven’t really done many landscapes, hopefully by the end of this summer I’ll be as comfortable wi

Another portrait from @atwoodatelier, I used a much warmer palette than usual and didn’t like it at first but it’s grown on me! I also wetted the back of the paper to increase drying time on the first layer - and I spent less time on it t

A couple of pages from my sketchbook ✋ these are days 55, 56, and 66 of my daily practice. I’ve had this wooden model for at least a decade, it lost a finger at some point along the line lol. It’s nothing like drawing a real hand but the

Process pics of a two session pose at @atwoodatelier a few weeks ago! I want to do more in the background on this but I don’t think that’s going to happen soon and I wanted to share it before I forget it exists 🙃

That sax was DAUNTING!

“If you give an artist flowers, they’re going to want to paint them’”

A couple of pages from my new sketchbook! My lovely boyfriend got me flowers last week because he knew I had a particularly stressful day at work 🥹 so of

Another lovely session with process pics at @atwoodatelier (this was weekend before last). Work has been nuts but I’m still painting! At this point I HAVE to paint, everything feels wrong if I don’t, and I love it 🥰

Took advantage of the unseasonable warmth and spent the afternoon outside sketching yesterday! It was a doozy, we had 35mph winds (at one point my painting was ripped out of my hands and I had to run and rescue it, barely caught it before it went int
