Blackbirds of the Pacific Northwest A little overview of the blackbird family members that make an appearance in the western US! The variation in colors and sizes is always surprising to me. I also often forget Meadowlarks are a new world Blackbird and not a lark at all!

Woodpeckers of The Pacific Northwest Digital illustration highlighting the 12 species of woodpeckers most common here in the upper right US! Had a lot of fun drawing these guys, especially the Lewis' Woodpecker. Their colors are stunning. How many of these species have you seen?

Honored to have contributed the cover for this issue of Deadlands!

Mood

In a quiet understory brimming with trillium, sorrel, and sword fern, a Northern Spotted Owl surveys her home: the Ancient Woods. The stars shine love on her silent wings as she alights from her perch, a shimmer of feathers soar-sparkling over this wholly irreplaceable habitat.

The Private Forest Accord, passed in 2022, enhances forest management for clean water, fish, and wildlife. But without a federally approved Habitat Conservation Plan, protections could be rolled back. Take action by noon on March 12 - click here for details: birdallianceoregon.org/take-action/...

Finally got this patch online, from @arcanebullshit.bsky.social

Around this time of year, Turkey Vultures start making their way back to our area. One of their coolest superpowers? Their stomach acid is so strong it can digest carcasses infected with anthrax, tuberculosis, and rabies without harm. They are nature's clean-up crew, keeping ecosystems healthy.

We're in a coup, which means we're in a nightmare, which means we're all ramped up, so let me offer you some deep time, perseverance, and beauty, before you and I go back to the work.

The leaves are registered properly. Need to do some cleanup & details & I'll be ready to do an edition in oils w/ more nicer colors & tidier printing. Probably start on that next week. Will be my 4th run of guerilla print drops. Excited to get them out there into the world. #printmaking #linocut

"Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow." An American Kestrel lands among a flutter of rare Fender's Blue Butterflies. This fleeting moment passes in a shimmering breeze as butterfly and bird fly off across what’s left of their ever-dwindling ancestral home. #nature #birdart #butterfly #conservation

Gone but never forgotten. Extinct species can't tell their story, so we must do it for them.

"The Observer 2". Graphite. While drawing this I thought a lot about the ways we find and hold on to hope, and how powerful it can be to carry us through times of uncertainty and grief. We need our hope more than ever these days. Hold on. #birdart #illustration #owl #natureart #hope #rewild

And here we go.

Physically I'm stuck in 2025, living through a twisted oligarchic remake of groundhog day. Mentally I'm thousands of feet above the world again, hiking through meadows of giant beargrass, entirely alone in blissful solitude. Take care of yourselves today.

Turning our back on the environment is turning our back on humanity.

I often feel silly waxing on about nature in light of extreme tragedies- but isn't the root of so much of those tragedies due to a systemic lack of respect of and understanding for the world that sustains us? Come tomorrow we'll need to tap into love, reverence, and awe more than ever. Onward ❤️

California Condors remind me that there are uncountable reasons for protecting the natural world, and love is as good of a reason as any. “The Ancient Ones”, work in progress (watercolor on cotton paper, 22"x34").

Happy Sweet 16 to my dearest, most loving best friend in the entire world!!!

Hey y’all, if you enjoy talking about nature, art, West Virginia/Appalachia, music, old horror movies, books, screenprinting, and how we’re all being crushed by the ruling class, then we’ll probably hit it off! Andddd here’s a sampling of my illustration work

Hey y'all! I'm Jenn, an artist specializing in heartfelt natural science illustration. Hopped on here to see which social platform feels most like "home" these days (even though my real home is, like, deep in the woods away from screens). "Once There Were Wolves", 20"x28", graphite on paper.
