This isn’t a self portrait but I will tell you I was baptized 3 times. 2 were secrets and one was official when I was 2 years old. It didn’t take. #drawing #character #mixedmedia #art

Catman considering adding arms and hands to hold signs. #protecttranskids #catmanlovesyou

Back on my bs with new guitar strings and this is the year Catman grows arms and probably hands to hold things. What will those things be? #catmanvt #handprinted #catmanlovesyou #softsculpture #resist #joy #songwriter #art

All these lovelies and crazies are currently available on my website. Each one of them is unique and designed to look wonderfully weird and perfectly imperfect. littlebirdofparadise.bigcartel.com #art #textileart #handmade #perfectlyimperfect #dolls #dollcreation #shopindie #shopsmall #bsnm

My mum at Gate of Heaven school in SoBoston Ma. When mum cried the nun made her stand over the plants to water them. That was the least violent story from the time but probably bothered her the most. Humiliation was key to train the kiddos. All in the name Jesus. ❤️ #handsewn #catholicblock

Honestly I couldn’t be luckier. My stepson is super cool so every year I make him a cake. You can’t tell from the photo but that’s a layered chocolate pound cake under that not-to-sweet chocolate frosting. Lots of feels but I’ll just leave it at: cake.

I’ve been working on this same book for years. When I have no sparkles of inspiration for new things I can obsess about circles and textures and get out the colors and noise.

Hanging On. #imaginaryfriends #softsculpture

New social media - I’m sure I’m doing this wrong. I guess I’ll see - I am a slow processor with big events so watercolors are a perfect companion. Here’s a page I finished while trying to make some sense of things. #vermontartist #watercolor #imaginaryfriends #drawing #art
