Working on icons for a new collection inspired by Mexican Milagros. I lived in San Antonio for 10 years so lots of inspiration to draw from there. #womenofillustration #illustratorsofinstagram #surfacedesign
It’s always Christmas in this business, right? I absolutely love pink poinsettias. I never pass up a display of them without taking lots of photos. I wonder how many other weirdos stop in their tracks to take photos in the garden section of their local hardware store. I’m also guilty of this at the local farmers market and stands and the floral department at the grocery store. I may have a billion flower reference photos on my phone. #birdsbutterfliesandblooms #christmasillustration #greetingcarddesign
Here is the entire Nostalgic Greetings collection. The images were inspired by vintage glassware and sweet blossoms. Much like the ones I adored at my great grandma’s house. Visits to her house where frequent visits since she was my neighbor when I was growing up! In the summer months she’d cross our backyards with a fresh batch of zucchini bread or homemade blueberry muffins for us. I’m very fortunate to have those treasured memories. In fact, we bought a house just one block away from that street. I often pass her house and so wish I could ask to take a peek inside. Probably better that I don’t since I’m sure they did not keep the 1940’s charm of her kitchen and that would just make me sad to see it gone! I think I’ll go to our local antique shop this weekend and pick up a hobnail vase, some farmers market flowers and a loaf of zucchini bread. #artlicensing #birdsbutterfliesandblooms #createcollections #greetingcarddesign #floralart #handlettering

I grew up next door to my great grandmother. I had a particular fondness for her vintage glassware of vases and bowls. I remember them being filled with various goodies like violets and candies. This is part of a series inspired by those memories, a bit of nostalgia and sweetness. #birdsbutterfliesandblooms #womenofillustration #createcollections #illustrationchallenge #womenofillustration #illustratorsofinstagram #surfacedesign #floralart #greetingcarddesign
I’m so excited that I can finally share this! I’ve licensed 12 of my bead designs to @Vintaj for their new Artisan Market collection that will be in every Hobby Lobby starting in July. Several of my designs are tiny sketches sculpted in clay and then cast in metal, like these folk flowers charms. #artlicensing

A seemingly never ending battle. On a lighter note when I was in 8th grade I wanted one side of my hair shaved like Cyndi Lauper. I went to the salon by myself and asked for my first punk haircut. When I went home I told my mom I was going to get all my hair cut short but changed my mind halfway through. My plan would have worked if we didn’t have the same stylist - my mom asked her about the haircut the next week and she totally busted me. Hey mom, girls just want to have fun! This is for today’s #funwithfaces challenge with the prompts short hair, animal and shirt. #feministfriday #womenofillustration #portraitillustration #editorialillustration #illustratorsofinstagram #womenwhodraw #cyndilauper
