Started working on my 2026 Oregon calendar today!

Seen on my run this morning! PDX Bike Bus! 🚲🌿❤️

I think I might have severe burnout from work. It has been rough. Maybe it’s just perimenopause? Who knows? I’m tired. 😔

Working on a new bookmark design today!

I either have so many orders it stresses me out, or I have no orders and it stresses me out.

Same mountain, three different takes. Mt Hood. 🗻

A process video for you! No AI here. Just my very own hands and eyes.

Not quite done, but almost!

Washington State’s Mt Rainier!

Not really sure what to say about the current state of our country. It’s upsetting, but here’s some art? ❤️

A crow with cherry blossoms. The perfect combo to represent Portland right now. 🌸🌸🌸

Wrapped up in some warm towels after her bath. ❤️🐾

I took a photo of this image a few years ago, on Sauvie Island. I loved it so much I painted it.

Sending love from Portland! ❤️☔️🌧️

I’ve been slowly building up my running again after dealing with injuries the past year and a half. Started with walk on min, run one min. Today I walked one min, ran 9 min for 35 min!

Went to the Japanese Garden today! It’s been ages since I’ve been there. Did not disappoint!

Worked on this new illustration today!

Newly listed in my shop! Just in time for Spring, although it’s not feeling very Spring like in Portland today. 🌿🌱🌸

The Hood River Fruit Loop in the Spring is magic! 🌸🌸🌸

I hope my dog knows how much I love her.

Love seeing the quince starting to bloom!!

I need more space for my business, and I’ve been dreaming of a house with a large, finished, basement for so long.

When I started my Etsy shop 18 years ago, I painted a lot these little typewriter paintings.

Had a lot of fun vending at the Buckman Show and Sell yesterday! Thanks to everyone that came out! ❤️

Early signs of Spring!

Waiting for me to come home from my run. ❤️

The Pacific Northwest Coast is so moody and I love it!

Tomorrow marks my 18th year selling on Etsy. That is bonkers.

Hi! I’m Michele. This is my dog, Frasier. We live in Portland, Oregon. I’m a full time illustrator. I’m into reading, running, being outdoors, pups, gardening and witchy shit. Okay, byeeeeeee!

Wolves.

Spring Rabbits! 🐰

Original camper van illustration using gouache on Arches Cover paper.

Part two of this illustration! Felt very inspired by Spring with this piece!

What happened in the Oval Office today was truly awful. Not my President. Not now. Not ever. 🇺🇦

Seen on my run this morning.

I’ll be selling at the Buckman Art Show and Sell on Saturday March, 8th!

Such a beautiful day in Portland! Enjoying this False Spring day.

It’s been really rainy in the Pacific Northwest for the past couple of days. I’m loving it!!

A work in progress video on the illustration I started yesterday!

I was reminded that today marks 11 years of quoting my job at the grocery store to become a full time artist! Go me! 🎉

Working on a new piece today.

My little coworker. ❤️🐾

I love this album so much! It still holds up, and it’s one of the only albums I can listen to without skipping a song.

Sometimes I miss landlines. New sticker!

Hoping to get some painting done this week! I’ve been mostly doing orders and working on commissions. So I’m excited to get some new pieces started!

Big Pink! One of the first buildings you see while driving over the Burnside Bridge. Gouache on Arches Cover.

Cozy library dog. ❤️🐾📚

Had an MRI done on my hip today. Not sure if it’s going to show anything, but hopefully it will help rule some things out. I just really want to be my active, happy self again.

Love my little scrappy dog. 🐾❤️🐾❤️

Winter in Portland. It’s dark, cold and rainy, but it’s also really beautiful. Love you, Portland.
