With the northern lights lighting up the sky this week, I had to bring back this Aurora borealis inspired artwork. I think I might turn it into an art print or greeting card...what do you think?

Here's your first glimpse! ❄️ Once Upon a Winter is a love letter to the north — not the place, but the atmosphere. The frost that glimmers like glass, the whimsical union of fantasy and reality, and the delicate bits of magic. ✨ My winter collection will be dropping soon, keep your eyes open ❄️

It's November and the countdown is officially on! I'll be at Fable & Flames Romantasy Gala all 3 days. I'm so excited for a magical weekend ✨ Mark your calendars and keep an eye out for where to find my booth! Let's make it a weekend for the books 📚

❄️Once Upon A Winter is a carefully crafted collection of art prints, greeting cards, stickers, and bookmarks inspired by sweet winter moments and enchanted worlds 🗻 Coming soon to bring wonder and whimsy to your winter days ❄️ #onceuponawinter #winterartdrop #winterartcollection #magicalwintervibe

October reading wrap-up! I went into this month wanting to read more, and somehow ended up finishing a few books that completely stole my heart (and one I’m still not sure how I feel about 👀). #octoberreads #monthlyreads #octoberwrapup #readingrecap #bookish #bookishlife #booklover #TBRcheckin

Trick-or-treat! Here's some art that's sweet 🍬 🍂 Every October, I fall in love with the strange and the shadowy all over again. I've created so many pieces inspired by Halloween and the creatures that go bump in the night. Happy Halloween ghouls and witches! 🎃 #halloween #happyhalloween

Over time, I’ve learned that feeling successful at an event isn’t just about sales. It’s about being prepared, present, and proud of one's setup. Here’s my personal vendor checklist that helps me feel grounded and ready for a great event, even if there are a few bumps along the way.

Little fragments of story, magic, and ink...These are the pieces you loved most, not just because they're beautiful, but because they resonate with you. Thank you for making space for this kind of magic✨ #bestsellers #smallbusiness #smallartist #bookishartist #fantasyartist #fantasyart #bookmarks

Out of everything I’ve created, these are the ones that made me smile the most whether it was during a late-night drawing sesh, a chaotic sketch dump, or the first time I saw someone else fall in love with them too. They’re quirky. They’re useful. They’re a little unexpected... And they’re very me 😌

October is here and I’m so excited to share that I’ll be vending at some amazing events this month! ✨🍂 If you’ve been wanting to shop in person, now’s your chance to stop by, say hi, and check out all the art prints, stickers, and bookmarks that I'll have with me! #OctoberEvents #ShopSmall

"I’m not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours." ✨ Same goes for my #AliceinWonderland #stickers! 🫖 I hope you find them delightfully different, endlessly charming 🩵🤍💙 #aliceinwonderland #alicesadventuresinwonderland #wonderland #drinkme #vorpalsword #madhatter

The realms are stirring, the magic is rising....and so are the new book releases for October that I NEED to read 📚✨ **Release dates are subject to change. Some titles may have been previous indie releases that have since been picked up by a traditional publisher** #octoberbookreleases #newbooks

The air is crisp, and nights are getting longer…the season of magic is finally here ✨ 🎃 All art prints, stickers and bookmarks are available in my Ko-fi shop #spookyseason#halloween #kofisharetember

With the fog, and today supposedly being a rapture, this morning looking like a horror story waiting to happen #rapture2025 #rapturepunchcard

They've been haunting the shop for a little while, but the spooky season is when they really come alive 🦇🖤 If you've had your eye on them for a while, now's the time to let your spooky side shine ✨🌕 #spookyseason #stickerlove #halloweenstickers #trickortreatyourself #gothgirlthings

For those who read by candlelight🕯️📚 and keep strange company between the pages... Each bookmark is double sided with its own quiet charm. Made for stories with teeth, spells, sorrow and shadow. Which one will you claim? 🖤✨🕯️📖🌕 #bookmarks #spookyseason #halloween #gothichorror

I think this one is my favorite iterations of my book stack bookmarks 📚 Not only am I obsessed with the lighting, but I love the various book titles included that are perfect for an autumn TBR list! 📃 I had so much fun coming up with this two-sided bookmark design for my part of the cozy boo box 🖤

I'm excited to share a closer look at my art print, which was part of the Cozy Boo Box collaboration with some amazing fellow bookish businesses. 🍂 📚🕯This project felt like the perfect way to show my love for the season, reading and all things fantastical. The Cozy Boo Box, there will be in my bio

🍂 Autumn happens to be my favorite season, mostly because it provides the best opportunity to curl up with a captivating book. I hope to create more pieces like this to share with the bookish community 📖
