WIP from last night... #painting #seattle #seahawks #nfl #superbowl

I'd love to share with you my favorite #sciart painting of 2025: this Pacific Northwest anatomical heart commission for a cardiologist. Every detail in this piece was decided using science! Prints and stickers in my Etsy shop! #painting #watercolor #pnw #pnwart

My next Portland watercolor workshop - celebrate fall with me at Bella Organic Farm on Sauvie Island! I'll teach you how to paint this pumpkin patch scene and inspire you to keep painting landscapes on your own! All supplies included, no experience needed! #watercolorworkshop #portlandevents #pdx

Happy Apple Cup, Huskies!! Two years later and this is far and above my best selling print, I appreciate you all so much 💜💛 You can buy it too! www.etsy.com/listing/1785... #uwfootball #gohuskies #huskyfootball #seattleart #seattlesports #uw #godawgs #pnwart #pnwartist

Painting for just me for the first time in months. It was so special to sit in silence with the sunflowers and the bees #pleinairpainting #watercolor #pleinairartist #painting #art #fallpainting

I'm so excited for these framed giclée prints that I'll have for sale at the Clinton/Division Street Faire in Portland tomorrow! I carefully paired each print with its perfect frame and I'm finding it very hard to not just keep them for myself 😬 #watercolor #artprints #art #pdx #pdxartist

Accidentally wrote a poem about the ocean last night #ocean #poetry #art #fog #pnwart

Oops I haven't painted anything new in two weeks :(

It's crazy how fast the colors change at Mount St. Helens. Even as I was painting this the warm golden glow darkened and confused me - my painting ended up darker than I wanted but I still love how it turned out! Newest painting from my #sciart artist residency at Mount St Helens Institute

My favorite page so far of my sketchbook journal from my #sciart residency at Mount St. Helens. I fell in love with the field of petrography and now I want to look at every single rock I find under a microscope. #geology #rocks #pumice #art #watercolor #sketchbolk #naturejournal #mountsthelens

Field notes: observations of the plants in bloom along Hummocks trail at Mount St. Helens - part of my sketchbook for my artist residency at Mount St Helens Institute. #sciart #naturejournal #watercolor #art

Some sketches and photos from the past few days of my #sciart residency at Mount St. Helens Institute. I've been thinking about the dynamic landscape - it feels still but everything is moving, changing. Sunsets, fog rolling in, the breathing of the silent mountain #mtsthelens #sthelens #art

👀😱 count me in #sciartseptember

My first two plein air sketches as an artist in residence at Mount St. Helens Institute. Learning the geology and topology of the land and the different colors of the transformed volcanic landscape #mtsthelens #sthelens #art #sciart

My home for the next week as an artist (and scientist) in residence at Mount St Helens Institute #sthelens #sciart #mtsthelens #mshi #coldwaterlake

My first time teaching a watercolor workshop was such a huge success! Seriously I was terrified that no one would show up, but I got to teach and inspire 15 wonderful humans at this heavenly lavender farm (Van Gogh Lavender) near Hood River, OR. Already planning my next workshop in Portland 🥰

So, so excited (and nervous!) to teach my first watercolor workshop next week 7/19! I'll teach you to lose your fear of plein air painting in the most relaxing setting I know: Van Gogh Lavender Experience in Mt. Hood, near Hood River Oregon (about an hour and a half east of Portland)! Link below ↓

Sharing with the #SciArt Feed. Important message for Americans. h/t @secondnaturemb.bsky.social

I’ve been recording the garden bees for the #NorthEastBeeHunt run by @nenature.bsky.social but found plenty of other invertebrates out there. It’s amazing what you can find when you look. 🐡 #art #invertebrates

My newest Pride painting! This one will be for sale at Radius Gallery in Portland starting July 13 at their Summer Market and Pride Gallery Show! 🌈 #prideart #pride #queerartist #watercolor #oceanpainting

Life has been A Lot lately. Trying to get back into quick, loose sketching - no perfectionism, just trying to capture the mood of a scene. This is day 7/10 of Lena Moz's #SummerSketchFlow2025 challenge.

I've just lowered the price on my full collection of Watercolor Pride Flag earrings to make them more affordable for all! $15/pair ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜 Each flag is sealed and hand painted on thick paper, hypoallergenic with sterling silver or gold-filled findings. Happy #pride! #prideart #pridejewelry #lgbt

Working on a new piece for Pride - part of a bigger series about my connection to nature and my environment as a queer person in the PNW. Not sure how it's June already, I meant to have a bunch of these as prints already 😅 #pride #prideart #pnwart #pnwartist #watercolor #wip

This week I was knees deep in my grandpa's garage 14 hours a day packing up 50 years of rock collecting into a uhaul. I inherited his business selling rock and gem jewelry and other beautiful rock masterpieces - my friend and I will be slowly taking it over with our own modern spin.

Disappeared for a bit but I went to London and painted Big Ben on the Thames. #urbansketching #usklondon

I hope it goes without saying that I HATE so much of what’s going on in the world. The injustice, cruelty, hate shouting so loudly… I hope my nonsense and art bring some little bits of uplift. And I genuinely think trying to enjoy life is a revolutionary act in this climate! FIND JOY where you can 😘

Been real slow finishing the prep for my next shop update but I love how the prints and stickers of #shenandoahNP look next to the original painting! I love this painting because it was an ugly, brown day at the park but art can make any day beautiful ❤️ #sciart #landscapepainting #nationalparks

One of my favorite ways of sharing my art is through donations. I just donated $300 to Rose City Pride Bands, a queer wind ensemble I play in, by selling prints of this painting I made while waiting backstage at our recent concert at the Schnitzer in Portland ❤️ #art #urbansketching #pdx #pdxart

Easter morning sunrise sketching with friends in the Columbia Gorge ❤️ #urbansketching #pleinairsketch

Obsessed with these new stickers from @stickerninja.bsky.social 😍 So shiny!!!

Hand-embellishing and signing all the prints for my next release out on the deck because I just can’t be bothered with any task that requires me to be indoors.

A peaceful #wip last night until my cat started drinking the paint water. Regardless I’m stoked about this new glow-in-the-dark painting 😁

Happy 35th anniversary #TwinPeaks - the show that still never leaves my mind for long. Thank you @markfrost.bsky.social and David Lynch ❤️ These are my two paintings inspired by the show and it’s filming locations - Snoqualmie Falls and Mount Si in Washington. #DavidLynch #art #watercolor

An extraordinary interview with R.E. Burke, and a must-read for anyone contemplating travel to the USA or Canada. We commend her courage in speaking out, and cartooning while under duress and as an act of kindness to others. @reburked.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I sold this original painting a few weeks ago but it has spurred within me a great desire to make a series of Pride #silhouette paintings this summer highlighting our connection to nature and our environment. So for you, #BlueSkyArtShow, enjoy some gay silhouettes 🌈 #prideart #art #queerartist

Working on a new print about the future of pollination featuring wild native bees for for Manufactured Ecosystems. 🧪🐡 🐝 The future of pollination is a huge global concept to tackle artistically. There are issues worldwide, but they’re all local: specific species, specific stresses on ecosystems, 🧵

Hi, I’m autistic and have ADHD. I’m not a burden, I’m a human who processes the world in a different way and isn’t ashamed by that. Don’t support people and programs who try to destroy me.

One of my favorite minerals are the Bunkerhill Pyromorphites. Most pyromorphites range from olive to granny smith apple green, but the Jersey lvl 9 vein of pyromorphites are bright orange due to trace amounts of arsenic mixed in with these lead chlorophosphate crystals. #Sciart #Idaho

Working on hand-embellishing a bunch of National Park prints before they go up in my shop next week. It’s a lot of extra work but so worth it because it makes those colors *pop* #art #artprints #watercolorprints #saguaroNP #DeathValleyNP #OlympicNP #sciart
