Started our day making hashbrowns & crazy breakfast, followed by a lot of ooooooo’s & aaaaaa’s at the art museum, and then Odd Duck for dinner. The whole day was wonderful. Cheers to 7 years with my best friend, my biggest supporter, and truly my other half. I love this guy to infinity and beyond. ❤️

DEAR PEOPLE OF ICELAND, please speak up and help the government ban whaling for good! 💙🐳💙 www.hvalavinir.is/senda-umsogn #whaling #banwhaling #iceland #savethewhales #whales

Envelopes have been doodled upon and the first batch of art is en route to a few shark-loving homes! I’ll make more of these 4”x6” hand-drawn illustrations this week and will keep you all posted. 🥰💙🦈 #snailmail #sharkart #oceanart

I created a couple new greeting cards to go with the 4”x6” illustrations I’m sending to shark-loving homes. I hope everyone likes them! #blueshark #bullshark #sharkart #oceanart

My mom has been bringing me to Spectrum School of the Arts & Gallery since I was a kid. Now, we each have a piece of art in the “Black & White (and shades of gray) Invitational” showcase. My mom always supported my art journey - I was born to draw. I’m so glad I can support her art journey now. 🖤

Bills are approaching (again), so if you’ve ever wanted a hand-drawn illustration from me, now might be the time! I will be making a few happy sharks tomorrow that can be sent via snail mail. Toss some love here if your interested and I’ll keep you posted on the ink. #greatwhite #greatwhiteshark

I finished my b/w piece for the next show at Spectrum School of the Arts & Gallery! Haven’t decided on a title yet. Inked illustration with watercolor, paying tribute to a similar painting I made 10 years ago. Maybe “I love this face” or “I want to squish your face” or “Squishy face”…Thoughts? 🖤

I know I don’t post much, but I’m still here and still working on sharks (daily)! Right now, we (Sharks4Kids and I) are working on the next coloring book! As you can see…this one will include the whale shark! 💙💙💙 @sharks4kids.bsky.social Currently a work-in-progress - stay tuned! #whaleshark

Voting is IMPORTANT! 💙 I’m not just a shark artist. I have a voice and I can use it to hopefully help elect officials who care about conservation and our oceans (even if that’s not their main focus). U.S. folks - Did you vote today? #fuzzyhairdontcare #votingday #vote #ivoted

“Signing the order in the Oval Office last night, he told reporters: "We're going back to plastic straws. "I don't think plastic is going to affect a shark very much, as they're munching their way through the ocean."

I’m kind of over the whole winter thing right now. I love that we have all the seasons and I don’t hate any of them. But…I’m ready for sunshine and warmth… 🙃 #wisconsin #snow #snowstorm

So - if you laid out this ribbon flat, the words would be out of order & spaced weird. I’m not sure how I feel about it other than I like how it looks when the ribbon is wavy like this. Reading your thoughts about it would be helpful. Thank you in advance! 💙 #opinionsneeded #cuteshark #designhelp

AFK accountability & #selfcare post! Stepping away from my projects for a workout - with the support of all these #Hammerhead sharks! One of my favorite collabs with @sharks4kids.bsky.social 💙💙💙

I’m allowed to provide up to three pieces for the showcase opening at the gallery this weekend. I think I’ll include my “Rad shark” (acrylic paint on canvas). I would love to create another new piece, but I’ve run out of time. We hang the show today! #Blueshark #gallery #artgallery #popart #sharkart

Recent creations: This is my second torn-paper piece. Super fun & #therapeutic process. Added little dots using a Sakura white gel pen - just going with the flow. The Sunshine Girl is a shark made with ONLY colored pencils. A bit of light & happiness for your scrolling! #OceanArt #Artist #ArtLife

Today has been been dark, gloomy, and cold, so I don’t have a photo of this sketch in ideal lighting. Regardless, I’m living vicariously through those sunlight rays. ☀️ #sharkart #ocean #shark #happyshark #sunshine #summertimegirl #sunshinegirl

There’s so much chaos and darkness in the world - and I’m just trying to send a little extra love to each of you. In case no one told you today - you are such an important light in this world and I hope you shine brightly forever. Take care of each other. ❤️ #spreadthelove #staygold #shineon #bekind

Currently blasting 80s music into my cheap orange foam headphones, sitting in my fluffy orange chair (1970s), while working on a sharktastic website. This is what my childhood dreams were made of. The orange chair from the thrift shop is just a nice bonus. #artistlife #dailylife #amusingmyself

5+ months ago, I got my haircut (pixie). I’ve felt like I had a mullet for several months now but just didn’t get it trimmed. Too many things on my mind and unfortunately my hair grows fast. I FINALLY got a #haircut today and it feels so amazing to have all that extra hair GONE! #selfcare

I don’t usually post about #U.S. things because I feel like I’m frozen. My health insurance is issued by the state. I can’t afford it otherwise. I live with a compromised immune system. No #Medicaid = no doctor. Thinking about it makes me spiral. I’ve signed so many petitions in the past 2 weeks. 😩

Dear coffee, Thank you. Sincerely, Caiti

My mom recently retired. I gifted her some art classes for xmas. She came over for dinner tonight & brought her sketches. After eating, we cleared the table for show-n-tell. It's so fun to see where she's starting - witnessing her grow & evolve as an artist. #newartist #gettingstarted #proudofher

Alright FINE! I’ll vacuum the living room. #afk #talkingtoself #adulting

Today’s to-do list isnt awful. Clean the kitchen, workout on the #Rebounder for the first time, shower, vacuum the living room, work on a sharktastic website, send shark-mail today, drink #EarthChimp smoothie, take vitamins (trying to be better about this one), and go for a walk in the sunshine!

Just a 40 yr old shark artist doing what she can to have fun working out. Just got this #Rebounder and I’m casually jumping throughout today. Not a full workout yet. If I want to watch a movie, I’m doing it while on this lil trampoline! #fitness #weightlossgoals #weightloss #40andfit

A little over 10 years ago, I supported @humblebundle.com - snagged the games + some rewards which included this tape. My fella just got me a cassette player for Xmas. I’m listening to this tape for the first time right now. Feelin like a teen again. AFK 😎 #80skid #tapeplayer #cassette #gamemusic

This is literally the first pink/magenta clothing item I’ve ever owned as an adult and I absolutely LOVE it. Literally perfect! Bonus for the recyclable packaging! 🥰🦈🩷 By @sharkfinswim.bsky.social #sharkweek #sharklover #sharklife #sharkart #nurseshark #lovesharks

Someday…when I’m able to upgrade my 9+ year old laptop, I’ll be able to remove all programs from it and simply use it to play Dungeon Siege. I remember loving that game. 😊 #randomthoughts

Only one 4x6 illustration remains from yesterday - and hopefully it’ll find a new home soon. 💛 sharktopia.org/shop 🥰💙🦈 #sharkart #artist #artistlife #artlife #staygold #heartofgold
