My recent tent set-up at the 52nd Lynchburg Art Festival. It was fun, but so much work! #artfestival #artdisplay #motherartist #womanartist #realism #painting

Looks like a great book👍

I’m back in the studio today! Working on several paintings old and new. Switched over to mostly #oilpainting recently. #figurative #contemporaryart #kids #momartist #artstudio #studiopractice

My girls gave me some #hahnemuhle paper and watercolors for Mother’s Day. Though we had norovirus kicking our butts for the past week, I was able to play a little. Watercolor and gouache. 10”x7”. #painting #watercolor #gouache #childhood #jamesriver #exploration

Haven’t posted in a while. I’ve over-committed to our flailing 130+ yr old art club and haven’t had time to paint. Here is a photo of a dead Luna moth with a baby slug, some mushrooms, and the start of a tiny egg tempera that I thought was funny. #lunamoth #slug #eggtempera #naturephoto #mushrooms

A little gouache portrait of my dad. I’m going to try again and keep it looser. #gouache #portrait #painting #interior #artwork #womanartist #lovedones

Self-portrait gouache on paper. #smallpainting #selfportrait #contemporaryart #depression #womanartist #motherartist #aging

I rented a wall in the local art club I have been volunteering with. I’ve become the Membership coordinator and Marketing chair, due to low engagement. I’m hoping to help grow the club, which is one of the oldest of its kind in the U.S. It was really fun to hang my disparate works together!

Happy #Caturday! From Clover Kitty❤️ #calicocat #catlady #catsofbluesky

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Bluesky is open… quite one work of art to promote yourself! #artshare #contemporaryart #artistpromotion #artistsofbluesky #SciArt

Just finished #Severence. Damn! These people know what they’re doing! So F’ing good🔥

I don't normally brag about my expensive trips but , I just got home from the grocery store.

I just gifted myself a Shcherbak Oleksi book. This young Ukrainian artist combines illustration and traditional figurative painting to create visceral layered portraits.

Insane detail!!! Her work is incredible❤️

#stockmarket We're going to be his 7th bankruptcy, aren't we... ("POST TRUTH", detail, pencil on paper, 4ft10"x8ft9")

I’m enjoying this artist’s drawings. Go give her a follow!

#InternationalWomensDay “I challenge men to challenge the men who don’t respect women. Patriarchy, misogyny & sexism may end with women, but they start with men”- Brian Sims (“BREAKING UP 1993”, 27”x32.5”, pencil on paper, LLipton)

We have these up in VA02…

This Sunday, the whole country needs to spring forward from 1939.

Holy shit are we fucked, pack it in.

No one really appreciates this one, but it’s one of my faves from last year. It’s an acrylic painting of some of our fridge magnets. I made shrinky-dink magnets for my 2nd child when she was little, and the one with me on it happened to get beheaded🤔. #artist #womensart #motherartist #painting #mom

Fern doesn’t want me to get anything done today. I’m not disagreeing. #lapcat #cat #catlady #catoftheday #rescuecat #cutcuddles

Pappa, how was my name chosen? Well son, start with ketamine, a vague notion of history, and some Mad-Libs... the rest is hazy because I was dismantling Western Democracy... Ask your sister, Artemis Jong Un.

My painting is a reimagining of Francis Bacon’s “figure with meat”. While there are many other titles that could be applied, I believe Bacon’s original title is the most fitting. Here’s to the MAGAts….. #standwithukraine #nunt #trump #jdvance #presidentialportrait

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

I don't think I've seen a more perfect representation of modern-day parenting than these incredible paintings. Amazing. #contemporaryart #parenting #womensart #painting www.thisiscolossal.com/2025/02/erin...

Lots going on in the Virginia Governor's race on the GOP side- I unpacked some of it over the past few days, more to come daverichardspolitics.wordpress.com

I’m excited to try these lil babies out with egg tempera (because I am not trying to labor for days with true gesso)! Anyone have experience with them? #eggtempera #ampersand #claybord #slowart #technique #painting #artsupplies #art

My husband just took the kids out and I’m sitting down with a bag of goldfish to watch #Severance. #selfcare #Attila #fridaynight

These are rad!

My least favorite part of the #process (besides cleaning up) is making frames. Cutting, sanding, gluing, sanding, cradling, checking fit, re-cutting…. It takes me so long, but it is my preferred way to display my work. Today is dedicated to building two #float-mount #frames. #artwork #portrait #art

I probably shouldn’t share this, but here we go. This is the current state of my studio. It absolutely reflects the current state of my entire being. I’m not sure how to dig myself out. Advice? #burnout #studio #artstudio #artistspace #motherartist #studioshed #framebuilding #artist #painter
