Hello! Welcome to the mini blog section of my site! Here is where I share news, sneak peeks of current projects, and info about upcoming events.

After two and a half years spent in San Francisco and Brooklyn, I’m home in Montana for the time being and I’m oh so grateful to be here. I am relishing the fresh air, quality time with family, and the wonderful accessibility of quiet moments with myself, my art, and nature.

I got a kiln installed at my home in January and have since been busy exploring ceramics and how to express myself and my style through this medium. I’ve enjoyed learning how to fire my own work and witnessing my painting style evolve in new ways— I have different preferences and techniques now that I am more accustomed to underglaze rather than watercolors or acrylics, like I’ve used frequently in the past. The ceramic process is long and detailed, and a successful finished product relies on many different factors. This has pushed me to let go of perfectionist tendencies and helped me to embrace the whimsical, “imperfect” aspects of my illustrations.

My next website shop update will be on Tuesday, December 17th 5pm MST. This will be the last shop update of 2024. More details regarding the shop update can be found on my Instagram

My commissions are currently closed as I slowly work my way through the many custom orders I have lined up. For those of you that are hoping to place a custom order but missed the September sign up— please stay tuned! I have not chosen a date for when my commissions reopen, but when I do, I will post updates to my Instagram and send out a newsletter via email a few days before.
