Another one down. Delicate Arch.

My largest painting yet. Mt. Rainier.

Cats' first snow.

Still can't believe they actually printed it. Such an honor 🎖

Excited to receive my copy! Includes my very first published work, Live a Little. Hope it's as much a pleasure to read as it was to write. www.wordsmakeart.com/collections/...

I see Amazon is up to some tomfuckery. iheartsapphfic.com/2026/02/17/h...

Wrote a whole story in my head while I was getting ready this morning. Now I'm sitting at work and the ideas are slowly evaporating...

Google writing searches: Types of tables. Verbs to describe light. How do adults get tested for autism?

Made my submission deadline last weekend and now...... Who am I? Where am I?

I know the algorithm only cares if I post these on the weekend but oh well.

Vicious #caturday

Finished just in time for weekend to end. Booooo.

Cats on banisters. Side note: WTF, autocorrect, changing "banister" to "canister" and briefly convincing me I'd made up a word until I was ultimately vindicated by Merriam Webster. I am too old for this sh*t!

"Angel". Finally finished. Eighth in my colored pencil series "Women of Color". The paper was a disaster but it's fine if you don't look too closely in a few spots...

Pretty sure these deer were on a date and my cats crashed it. Super inappropriate. I blame the parents.

Full day of writing. Googled "what does outside smell like?" Paused and took the cats for a walk to touch grass. #indoorcat #indoorwriter

Did not intend for this account to be entirely cats but their lives are infinitely more interesting than mine...

Michiko tastes the rainbow.

Romy and Michelle vibes.

Spay-cation update: we've switched from donut collars to cat pajamas.

Devastated to hear the Grand Canyon Lodge on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon burned down. I painted this a few years ago after a quick summer trip. Sad this view may be gone for good.

These paintings don't mean anything. They will not change the world. But I had fun making them and they still bring a smile to my face.

Usually they walk in opposite directions and puzzle over why it won't turn. Rare treat to see them working together ❤️

Digging my roots out of Instagram and repotting myself here. Hoping the soil has less artificial slop and fascism but I won't hold my breath 😤
