(Don't Panic but) You Are Here [Alt title: The Pale Blue Dot] Mixed media I made this circa 2020 Inspired by Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot, and Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide. We should probably start to panic though. #art #sagan #douglasadams #boxart #astronomy #existentialism #dontpanic

A few photos of this year's Christmas tree before we take it down - lots of ornaments my grandparents collected during their 60 years of marriage. #christmas #Christmastree #ornaments #photography #newyear #decorations

The full moon the other night during our visit to Maine 🌚 We'll take all the extra light we can get in the meantime as the days grow longer. #photography #moon #lunar #winter #night #maine #nature #trees #forest #woods #branches #light #moonlight

The top ones are pendants I've made so far - the bottom ones are contestants. Which one(s) would you like to see as a pendant next? #rocks #stones #pendants #jewellery #jewelry #nature #necklaces #photography #archive #archival #artefact #artifact #beach #macrame #witchy #art #mixedmedia

Dreamscape #6 Part 1/2, 2023 I took these photos in London on my birthday a few years ago and added to my dreamscape series using a filter I created. Pt 2 coming soon. Music credit 🎧: Lullaby by Riopy #art #fineart #collage #existentialism #photography #dreams #noir #phenomenology #architecture

I've begun to make necklace pendants from the stones I've collected. These are what I've made in the last week - the one on the far left is my favourite so far. (The ones hanging from string are unfinished) #rocks #art #jewellery #jewelry #necklace #macrame #pendant #nature #witchy #photography

Experimental watercolour and preserved leaves, Daniel Smith watercolours on watercolour paper and prismacolor pencils, ~9 x 9in, 2025 #fineart #watercolour #watercolor #mixedmedia #leaves #nature #light #pencils #art #collage

The thing none of us hear enough as an adult - GUYS. LOOK AT THIS REALLY COOL ROCK. But seriously tho, how cool is it. Bonus points if you know what it is (because I don't). Internet, do the thing! #rocks #nature #photography #art #namethatrock

Night Beach, experiment with Daniel Smith watercolour and mixed media on Arches cold press, roughly 6 x 10 in, 2025 #art #fineart #watercolour #nature #watercolor #mixedmedia #beach #texture #pencil #danielsmith #arches #prismacolor

An autumnal evening down a dark boarded path with the occasional glow of street lights, leaves shuffling between our feet. The warmth of home waiting for us at the end of our walk. All is well. #autumn #photography #leaves #night #nature #existentialism #phenomenology

A walk to a secret autumnal gig in the woods. No photos allowed of the gig itself to keep everyone present. Starlight, the smell of campfires, and the sound of laughter led the way through the night. #nature #autumn #photography #naturephotography #art #existentialism #stars #night #woods

A fun time-lapse of my Catrina makeup for Dia de los Muertos. My abuela loved it - it will be her 96th birthday coming up and she is still going strong. 🎶 Credit: La Catrina by Ciudad del Maiz #diadelosmuertos #catrina #Mexicanroots #catrinamakeup #skull #dayofthedead #posada #mexico

Today's full haul of treasure from Herne Bay. #rocks #art #hagstones #nature #ocean #seaside #foundart #stones #beachcomb #collector #artist

Stop scrolling. Volume up for some brief therapy - waves on a pebble beach. Breathe. Now, onwards 🧡 you've got this. #nature #naturetherapy #therapy #peace #meditation #art #ocean #waves #thesearethegoodolddays

Darlings, a reminder for when everything feels bad: --Reach out. --Move toward joy. --Drink water. --Take your meds. --Allow yourself to feel your feelings. --A 3 minute dance party in the kitchen helps. --If you have a pet, hug them. (Unless it's, like, a fish.) --When in doubt, make art.

[Click photo to see the full lineup] - 8 hagstones in a quick 20 minute combing. What a haul! #hagstones #nature #beach #art #moxedmedia #foundart #stones

Today's haul from Herne Bay. Funny thing is, in the moment I hadn't thought I'd found anything too special. Then I grouped them together and my heart sang, "how could you see anything but treasure?" #rocks #collection #ocean #hagstone #nature #photography #art #phenomenology ##existentialism

A process video I made: how to preserve autumn leaves you find and make them last 🍃🍂🍁🍂🍃 I hope you enjoy. #nature #art #process #fineart #natureart #leaves #autumn #collage #mixedmedia

All taken within the same five foot radius. Beauty doesn't hide - it's right there, all the time 🧡 #phenomenology #photography #perspective

A painting in a river. A river in the sky. What is a painting anyway? And who says the river has to stay on the ground? These silly rules we live by - It's time we kindly and gently relieve them of their post. You are free. #photography #nature #art #phenomenology #perspective #poetry

From my walk the other day. Are shadows not part of the things that cast them? We live in a flat without trees directly outside the windows, so there are no natural shadows. I've placed vases of dead branches in all the windows so we still get shadows in the golden hour. #photography #nature #art

A pencil illustration on tan paper I did today sitting on a path by the river near our flat. A lovely family and their kids stopped by to chat about how the kiddos were into art - it made my day. #pencil #drawing #illustration #art #nature #existentialism #connection #fineart #photography #light

Various stages of the polishing process - the third is the outcome (the second is when they were still wet). #rocks #polishing #collection #photography

Sometimes on a June evening in the back garden, you can't tell the fireflies from the stars. Sometimes a silhouette in the window can look like a painting. Sometimes a lit neighbour's window can make your home feel more homely. Poetry is all around us. #art #photography #phenomenology #poetry
