"The Moon" (2024) One of my favorite pieces I've done: #linoprint of a lobster embarking on the path of life. Return to primordial waters is inevitable. #tarot #themoon #lobster #linogravure #art

"Oysterbaby" One of my all-time favorite illustrations, I did this in just three colors of ink: blue, yellow and magenta. I never ate a raw oyster before I came to France. It's an acquired taste, but paired with a bit of lemon, a piece of lavishly buttered bread, and a crisp glass of white wine...

My newest veggie watercolor "Solo beat" Featured in my illustrated newsletter: I wrote about pesticides and beets in France. #FoodIllustration #FoodIllustrator #Watercolor

RENDERED, my #IllustratedFoodHistory newsletter is back this month with another #artzine style post about the #LoiDuplomb + pesticides in France. Written, researched, illustrated, designed by me! Here's a peek at the 16-page #zine: #FoodWriting #FoodIllustration #00sCore

Announcing: my acceptance to an international academic colloquium! This October, I'll be presenting about #PuertoRican diasporic foodways. I've never done such a thing, so I'll be sharing about the preparation process on my newsletter as bonus content for paid subs. #FoodHistory #ArtistsWhoWrite

#Bookbinding tools laid out, ready to put into action. I taught myself bookbinding because I wasn't happy with any #artist sketchbooks I found in stores at my desired price point. For me, it's better to buy the raw materials and make my own notebooks! Tutorial coming soon to my website :)

🌈🍱🍷Throwback to my first (and thus far, only) attempt at stop-motion animation. A cute dancing picnic scene! Enjoy. #StopMotion #FoodIllustrator

THE MOON (Linoprint, 2024, 30cm²) Limited edition prints available JULY 22, when my webshop reopens! This is my interpretation of the #tarot card, my depiction of the path of life. And how we are meant to return to the primordial waters from whence we came. #Linoprint #LeoSeason

"It's a doggy dog world"

My first attempts at paint marbling. On top, a simple canvas. At the bottom, an ongoing piece I've been adding to gradually for many months. I'm trying to replicate zany + colorful TV static. There are already many layers of watermarbled paper and handpainted patterns, + more will come. #artprocess

"All I See is Garlic" (2025, Linoprint and tie-dye on tea towel) I created this textile art piece as an exuberant, joyful representation of my love of garlic, and how central it is to my cooking. This is a deliciously hypnotic celebration of garlic, in a style I call #DomesticPsychedelia. Enjoy!

Loved this zine-y essay on root beer, sassafras, colonization, and Star Trek from Larisa Anjou
