Here is my day two of #urbanjungleweek. I’d love a rooftop garden if I lived in the city. Actually I’d really love to just keep a plant alive - not one of my strong suits!! #illustratorsoninstagram #editorialillustration #urbangardening #mindfulness
I’m joining the #urbanjungleweek challenge. Yesterday’s prompt was potted. I’d love to illustrate for magazines, images that lean toward editorial illustration will be my focus during the challenge. #illustratorsoninstagram #womenofillustration #urbanjungle #citygardening #mindfulness #editorialillustration
Wishing you a little happiness for Monday morning. Buy yourself some flowers today, it will make the start of the week cheerier. Although being self employed I don’t usually get a case of the Mondays, it’s all good! I am always up for a good excuse to buy fresh flower. #birdsbutterfliesandblooms #illustratorsoninstagram #floralart #butterflies #surfacedesign
Change is the only constant in life. I reworked this piece from last month’s #matsbootcamp. We illustrated an excerpt from @bethkempton’s book Wabi Sabi. #illustratorsoninstagram #makeartthatsells #womenofillustration #mindfulness #editorialillustration

My art on copper. Our family business is beads and we use a lot of my illustrations to make jewelry components like this one. I love combining my two worlds - beads and art!
Happy Mother’s Day. Day 24/100 #the100dayproject #birdsbutterfliesandblooms

I’m taking the Create Collections class with @victoriajohnson_createexplore and this is what I worked up for our first assignment. Working with a limited color palette was a fun challenge. Pushing myself to work a little more stylized. Can I also note that I so freaking excited it’s finally spring here in Michigan!

Find your joy first. To all the young women in my life: find your inner strength and peace. No one can give you those things, they are gifts only you can give yourself. It’s okay to put yourself first, it’s called self-care. A portrait of my gorgeous niece.
