Brand new finished piece - strings still dangling!

Another #fivethingsfriday to share some goodness:

Another #fivethingsfriday to share some goodness:

1. Trying out a new experiment of joining an abstract landscape to a realism watercolor. I’m not sure if it’s working yet but I’m enjoying the process.

2. m/other by Tanner McLean at Method Gallery is so impactful in person. This image is of an installation of projections on spinning fan blades, which can’t really be photographed so you’ll just have to go see for yourself how beautiful this is. Exhibit up through 3/15

3. I taught my second Watercolor 101 class at King County library and everyone had a fabulous time including me! Here’s hoping we get to do more of these. #artistherapy

4. Installation by Miguel Edwards (photo by) at 110 Roy, a new project near Seattle Center. The artwork for this project was first envisioned back in 2019!! After Covid delays and design changes it’s finally real.

5. Tree of Life mural for a new building, the Nook, that just opened at the Northaven community intergenerational campus. It was quite the process over many months but came together gorgeously at the end. Like a quilt made out of wood! Now I want to do more community built art projects ☺️

To summarize, man, what a week! And that was just in my direct sphere… Theres a whole host of other big news happening in the country and world right now which I’m trying to keep aware of and fit in calls to senators - just to do ~something~ but also trying to keep the positive things going here that I can. One day at a time.

#throwbackthursday to celebrate one of my earlier

#throwbackthursday to celebrate one of my earlier large #mendingmeasures artworks - “Mending Blues” has long been a favorite. With a layers of experimental #cyanotype mixed with watercolor and acrylic it has often been commented on during my open studios. It was commissioned once as a smaller version. And now it’s sold and off to be part of a community.
Bonus #throwback pic of me for scale 😉

Five good things Friday - because a dear friend re

Five good things Friday - because a dear friend recently said we shouldn’t hold back good news. We need all the good news we can get.

1. Still finding beauty in the world despite what feels like insurmountable chaos. I had a natural, post show, post holiday social media break and then, well, extended it. Everyday news is heartbreaking and anxiety inducing. I know I’m not alone in not quite knowing how to process it all.

But there’s still beauty and joy. I’ve been looking for it as a daily life raft.

2. Happy commissions - At the start of the year I was commissioned to create 9 of my mini triangle pieces in some specific colors for the mailroom of a new building. #gratitude for the work and I love how they all came out.

3. Teaching - I’m teaching beginning watercolor at the King County Library, Renton Highlands branch this month. This will actually be my 2nd workshop, after a short notice try-it-out opportunity in December. Surprise to me, I loved it. There’s a plan for more workshops this year - if funding doesn’t disappear.

4. New #artwip - working on a new larger piece using joyful colors, and a memory of a beloved place. Feels good to experiment again, and be not quite sure where this one is headed , trusting the process.

5. Community - yesterday afternoon I helped to facilitate a community art project for a new intergenerational campus. One more session and we will have an 8 ft mural, built by many hands.

And then last night was Artwalk. I opened my studio, and was re-energized by chatting with people who visited. As I am every month. Just as every month I’m reminded why I do it.

Connecting over beauty and joy and creativity is an antidote to fear and anxiety. Art makes us all feel less alone.

If you feel called to, feel free to add to this list in the comments. This Friday needs way more than #fivethings - but it’s a start.

Thank you to all who stopped by last night for #pi

Thank you to all who stopped by last night for #pioneersquareartwalk - it was a surprisingly busy one! It was so nice to chat with you! What a lovely way to kick off the new year ☺️ Here’s to more inspiration and creative sparks in 2025 ✨🥂✨ Art will light the dark.

Pioneer Square Art Walk tonight! And another chanc

Pioneer Square Art Walk tonight! And another chance to see some of my recent work at @slipstitchstuwa as part of the 2024 artists group show. Additionally, I will have a couple pieces at @methodgallery for their inaugural “Total F*cking Chaos” show which I just got a sneak peak of and honestly it’s a fantastic show. Beauty in chaos and the beauty of spontaneity sure can work out magically sometimes!
I’ll be at my studio at least 5-7pm so stop on by if you’re out and about for the first art walk of 2025!

Time to talk trash? Had the surreal pleasure to get to tour @recologykingcounty MRF with a group of artists interested in repurposing materials. @recologyair_kc
The sheer volume spoke volumes, but also the passion and dedication of those who spread the gospel of #zerowaste recycling ♻️ (Tours to the public every Thursday if interested)

#1 takeaway? Quit getting takeaway. And aluminum is truly the best option - 1:1 reuse and typically the can you recycle today can be back in the market in as little as 2 weeks #mindblown

Got a whole lot of inspiration and possibility to chew on. And overwhelm. That too.

On this day of gratitude I give thanks to each of you who visited my exhibition at @slipstitchstuwa this month. Gratitude to all the many who engaged in conversation or ideas or connection this past month AND the year leading up to this show. It’s been a big one.

#Mendingmeasures is up in the front gallery of SlipStitch through 11/30. (Open Fri & Sat 10a-5p)
Then, in December it will be in a new iteration rehung in the back gallery of SlipStitch to welcome the next artist.

In other news, it’s always rejuvenating to learn something new after a big creative push. Taking an #encausticpainting class with @betsyswoowooforyou at @monstermonstershop was SO much fun! Betsy is a wonderful & generous teacher and I can’t recommend her enough. Swipe to see my finished project from our Wax Paper Quilt class - a stitched encaustic garland! Can’t quite catch the magic with today’s clouds, but the light comes through these beautifully! Thank you Betsy 🥰

To those that came out tonite, to take in art and light and life and connection, thank you.

This wasn’t quite the #pioneersquareartwalk that was expected but was what our heavy hearts needed. Hugs and heartfelt conversations went a long way tonight.

There’s many triangle of protection pieces left for anyone who feels like… I dunno… like they maybe need a little symbol of protection. All original, all under $100. 🔼❤️

Love & Kindness. Love & kindness. And onwards.

Come see me and my work at Slipstitch for Pioneer
