With this work finished, I can finally reflect, admire, laugh, and feel proud of the parts that once felt confusing or intimidating. I’m in that sweet spot of knowing more than before, while still having plenty left to learn.
One of my biggest takeaways is that starting something with more unknowns than knowns will always feel a little insane—but that’s part of the process. Friends showed up right when I needed them most, and the synchronicity of timing, support, and encouragement was incredible.
This mural began with the simple idea of octopus tentacles. I wanted them to move, stretch, and flow until they felt like part of the water itself. The deep blues and teals pull you into an underwater, dreamlike space, while the bursts of orange spark movement and energy across the wall.
For me, it’s a reminder of the ocean’s mystery and power—the way nature can be both graceful and wild at the same time. That balance of beauty and chaos is something I’m always chasing in my work.
I’m so grateful to have this piece living here, transforming the wall into something alive. None of it would have been possible without the support and opportunity from @paperwhalearts & thank you to @brandywine.kitchen staff for always helping if needed.
I’ve been taking a little painting break. Started sewing again just to fix a few things and then the rabbit hole started. I stopped printing T-shirts last year. The process was cool, but it was a little bit too much rinse and repeat. I wanted the creative freedom to come back, so I stored up fabrics in hopes that I would have something else come to mind in the future. Then I made one of these shirts by mistake and it turned out pretty cool actually. I started printing more to make into these lino cut printed fabrics into hand crafted tops. I’m not a professional sower by any means, but the process gets me somewhere. As long as it doesn’t fall off my body, I’m gonna try to keep making more.
It’s cool to see the creative process through sewing and integrating my art into a whole different form of display. All these fabrics were collected from thrifted items and other clothes ready to go to the donate pile.
Here I have three new works inspired by anthozoans within the phylum Cnidaria, specifically Mesacmaea stellata. These paintings are part of a deeper exploration of microbial forms, while incorporating my own interpretation.

Little painting studies. Trying new process approach, shape and color relationship. I’ll be doing four new little paintings a month. Trying out some new things. No plan other than the shapes themselves. This is the first of the bunch up for grabs - DM me if you would like - going for $200
Proboscis - Thank you @unknownboardshop for the used deck. Come out Friday March 6th for opening night at @make.shiftartspace for all decks painted and music. All art sold will go directly to helping the construction of the new proposed Bellingham skatepark.
@gemandjamfestival 2026 - So much gratitude.
I can’t say thank you enough to @tribe13gallery for all the time and dedication bringing artists together.
I picked up 10 skateboard canvases for some exploratory work. These three were painted to form one full piece. I also like the idea that they might end up in different homes — still connected, while living separate lives.
If you’re interested, send me a dm :)
It’s finally complete! The Brandywine logo features a Brandywine tomato — the inspiration behind the organic shapes on this wall. Bringing this mural to life was a fresh kind of creative process for me. I aimed to balance my personal style with a sense of practicality, creating something that enhances the dining experience while complementing the space rather than overpowering it.
Huge thanks to @brandywine.kitchen for the opportunity — and for all the kindness, patience, support through those after-hours painting sessions and of course delicious food! They are making big moves for a lovely and cozy space in Bellingham and supporting the arts as they do it!
