Hey any entomologists know anything about this salmon colored stripe on the wing of a box elder bug? It's so striking to me, does it serve a special purpose? #sciart #bugsky #invertefest #gardening

I bet the #sciart crowd would be interested in seeing this cool project!

@elizabeth-prosher.bsky.social guess who finished playing through Wax Heads this weekend. I really enjoyed it, a little like occupying a slice of alternate history for a bit, great style and great music too!

When I found this subject on a walkway I instantly became excited about getting to paint that bright red. Totally worth the wait! #bugsky #sciart #color #wipwednesday

Here is a view of sketch vs the final art in progress. This one stayed pretty similar, they don't always. #sketchbook #natureart #illustration #outside

What do you do with extra blue gouache? Paint a blue landscape! #landscape #sketchbook #painting #naturejournal #sciart

Ooh, #WorldBeeDay. I've done a couple of bees.

Starting the painting off with a rich blue. I've been wanting to work in this color for a while and I think the elder bug has the right coloration to pull it off. #sciart #painting #traditionalart #blue

This spring I made a few apple grafts. It was fun to get out the grafting knife again. It is so interesting to watch the tree work through accepting the graft, it doesn't always work out, but these trees seem to be doing just fine! #gardening #apples #fruitgrowing #cottagecore

If you are in Lancaster, PA stop by the very fun Fae-Ble show! My troll is on display there, but there is so much more! Great work by some talented artists that left me feeling inspired and ready to CREATE! Go check it out! #fantasyart #darkfantasy #goblincore #lancasterpa

Another new piece in the works. This one is inspired by a personal memory, out in the woods at 3AM, just being. #memory #night #sketch #outside

My newest piece begins! It is a box elder bug. Cause of death, getting stepped on (but not by me!) #sciart #wipwednesday #invertefest #gardening

Once I started looking I began to find subjects everywhere! Sometimes I have been asked about where I find the insects I paint and feel compelled to acknowledge the subject in my pocket that I just picked up. Art inspiration is all around us! #sciart #artsky #inspo #realtalk

What a great time to be outside! I caught this trillium a few weeks ago. What is your favorite spring ephemeral? #bloomscrolling #gardening #flowers #sciart

Nightrise in the making! A simple but fun piece to make, I hope it reminds you of a time and place in your own life. #night #sky #ink #drawing

A drawing of a crab in my sketchbook based on an ancient Colombian bit of pottery.

Lines, lines, so many lines. Good thing I love drawing them. You can do so much with a line! #night #evening #skyart #illustration #video

Here is the beginning of another reflection on the night. I love that inky fade over rooflines, so much above us. #night #illustration #ink #nightsky

I recently moved my studio space and was unable to find my standard pencil sharpener. This is what I found in a pinch. Yes I am a professional artist. #studiolife #artstudio #moving #unexpected

If your brain is struggling due to anxiety,sadness,the way others have behaved,ADHD, autism,burnout,chronic illness &/or because the world’s too full of grimness then hi,me too. Research shows my photo’ll provide relief for your thoughts-pause & zoom into the details-& keep going, you’re not alone 🌿

The last step in my most recent large insect piece. More coming soon, I am finding new subjects and am excited to share them with you soon...after a little more reflection on the night. #sciart #video #insects #bugsky

It was so much fun drawing with a pen again, I loved making this piece. #ink #night #mythology #illustration

Thanks to everyone who came out to see the Fae-ble show at Zoetropolis this weekend. It's a great show! These pieces are definitely worth seeing up close and in person if you can. #lancaster #fantasyart #darkfantasy #goblincore

Now is your chance! See this Troll and many other great works of fae-touched art in the Fae-Ble show, at Zoetropolis, in Lancaster, PA, tonight! #goblincore #troll #gallery #lancasterpa

Sketches from my Nyx artwork. Once I drew the flowing cloth, the idea really came together. #night #illustration #bandwart #sketchbook

Working on some ink. It felt good to return to some inky projects again! For the nightness project. #wipwednesday #video #ink #bandwart #night

I found this lady on the ground, thinking she was dead, but merely groggy from her winter slumber. #bugsky #gardening #nature #spring

I'm excited to share a new project. I've been creating some illustrations based on 'Nightness'. Here is the first, Nyx dropping the veil of night. #night #illustration #mythology #penandink

something cool's dropping soonish for you #InverteFest enjoyers

Getting much closer. #sciart #bugsky #bumblebee #comics

Adding some ink. This is an attempt at distilling my art a little. As I've shown pieces I have heard 3 consistent highlights for viewers: pop of color, details and the way the subjects jump off the page. Stick with me to see how this turns out! #bugsky #gardening #sciart #wipwednesday

All lined up. The project is to create a series of 10 matching paintings. No two pieces are quite the same! #sciart #bugsky #gardening #artsky

What is this project? A new series of 10 to create! #sciart #bugsky #monotype #bumblebee
