We “Art” All Week: A Peek into My Studio
Can a horse and a jellyfish work together? Apparently, they can when they’re sharing space on my art table! 😂🎨
Right now, my studio is full of possibilities: a horse sketch, a jellyfish painting, paint tubes, brushes, and ideas waiting for their turn. There are cats in an upcoming painting, too. Everyone seems to be joining the studio party!

Carrying a Memory of Spring into Fall
There is something beautiful about remembering spring just as the world begins moving into fall.
Spring brings thoughts of new blossoms, brighter days, and the feeling that life is beginning again. Fall carries its own rich beauty, but sometimes it is comforting to keep a little piece of spring nearby—a reminder that every season eventually gives way to renewal.
That feeling lives inside my alcohol ink painting, Spring.

A new mixed-media painting is taking shape on my art table. 🎨
I began by adding collage pieces to a gesso-textured board, then layered acrylic paint over them until the individual collage elements disappeared—leaving their texture and interest beneath the surface.
This is only one stage in the painting’s development. Next, I’ll use a wet-tissue tracing technique to begin adding jellyfish. I’ll continue sharing the progress here as the artwork unfolds, one layer at a time. 🪼✨
