I’m terribly sorry for my lack of activity this year. Life has been a blender full of bills, schedules, appointments, emails, and other deeply uncinematic adult tasks. 🍄

I have still been painting though. Honestly, if I wasn’t, I’d probably have dissolved into a damp little patch of forest moss by now. Posting just got sacrificed to the great executive functioning beast for a while.

Anyway, this is Mycelium Mood. She appeared somewhere between burnout and bioluminescence to remind me that sometimes surviving is the art. ✨ Soon she will be available in my shop 🍄 portraits

A weekly dose of culture is linked to ageing 4 per cent slower, a study has found — diverse interests may be especially beneficial

This is Pierrette. Digital illustration.

A pale figure in the hush between expression and silence. This one is about restraint, the performance beneath the stillness, the emotions that sit just under the surface. She doesn’t need a spotlight—just a pause long enough to be seen.

I’ve been working on something! 💃

I am officially selling through my own website now ✨

This means free shipping to the US, UK, and Canada
(and possibly more—DM me and I will check 👀)

There is also a 10% off link if you sign up for my newsletter.

I promise I will not spam you…
realistically, you might get a monthly email if I have my life together 😅

This is Peace Out of Shadows. Watercolor on paper.

She holds the quiet strength that rises after walking through darkness. It’s about the kind of peace that doesn’t arrive loudly, it grows from what we survive, one slow breath at a time.

This is Nyx. Watercolor on paper.

Named after the goddess of the night, because black cats wear mystery like it’s effortless. Soft, watchful, a little untouchable—just like the night itself.

This is Nia. Digital portrait.

She’s built from loose, scribbled lines and intentional color, energy and focus living in the same space. Chin lifted, eyes forward. She doesn’t rush; she already knows where she’s going.
