I’m sorry I’ve left this account alone for so long and I am still making things! So here’s a quick update: I set up a temporary art scavenger hunt in my neighborhood (a big thank you to for answering all of my questions) which made walking in the cold a little more magical. I also started a Free Little Art Gallery (part of ). It’s a lot like a free little library except with art! Take art, leave art, or stand back and enjoy. Anyway, a huge thank you to everyone for sticking around!

This may be the longest I’ve gone without posting on here and let me tell you it has felt so damn good. I hope your summer has been amazing and you’ve discovered/rediscovered something you love. I’m currently obsessed with painting brick books for my garden📚 They aren’t serious or perfect, which has honestly been at least half of the fun! Until next time! xoxo

I’d like to be a cloud ☁️

TW: Weight/Bodies

It is so hard existing in a world so obsessed with weight. Some days are easier than others, but I’m in a season of not wanting to have a body. How freeing would it be to just exist as a spectral being?! 🫣🥴 Honestly, I just want to go a day without hearing about “health” or weight or bodies. And, yes, I do realize by talking about it here I’m also perpetuating the conversation. But I do genuinely think there are so many more interesting things to talk about! I’d seriously rather talk about almost anything. Books, art, music, theology/philosophy, daily life… so many topics. What would you rather talk about? Tell me I’m not alone! Someone become a cloud with me!

The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter - often an unconscious but still a faithful interpreter - in the eye.
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

I love painting and drawing eyes! It’s probably creepy how many sketches and paintings of eyes I have in my studio 🥴 They’re just so complex and hold so many emotions. This is the first pair of eyes I painted back in art school (so be quiet art critics — including the loudest one that lives in my head).

I miss the good light in this studio space! And being around my books 📚but I have so much more space in my “new” studio. Gotta take the good with the bad I suppose!

“I’m a girl made of bread crumbs, lost alone in the woods.” - , House of Hollow

Any and everything I make that has overgrown-flower-dark-forest vibes is House of Hollow coded. Magical realism has my heart and you can see that in my art. As an aside, I just bought The Innvocations so stay tuned to see if it becomes my entire personality the way HoH did 🥀

“One of the greatest tragedies in life is knowing how many people in the world are made to soar, paint, sing, or steer — except they never get a chance to find out.” - Tress of the Emerald Sea

I keep thinking about this quote and how true it is. And how it’s happening right before our eyes. 🍉
