Midnight Thoughts ~ a free verse poem
Hey friends, and happy Wednesday! I didn't really have a plan for what to post this week (well, I did, but it kinda fell apart 😛), but then I remembered I had this poem that I wrote one night a couple years ago when I was having trouble falling asleep, and it still makes me …
A Little Bit of Life ~ ft. stick bugs, stars, and chaotic selfies
Hello friends! How has life been lately? I'll admit, life hasn't exactly been picture perfect lately. In fact, there are days when it's downright difficult.

Unmasked ~ a digital painting and the scattered thoughts behind it
Okay. It's time for some honesty. Not that I haven't been honest in the past, but today I'm going to be more... shall we say, "brutally" honest. (That sounds way more dramatic than this post will probably end up being. 😆) So, I've been a bit depressed lately. Lately, as in, on and off for …

A Color Exercise, Suffering, and Gold
I've been practicing my digital art a bit more lately, and I've really fallen in love with it.

What am I supposed …

5 Reason Why I Love Shabbat
Shalom, friends! Well, with the Passover craziness that happened (aka, we didn't start getting ready for Passover until the week of), I kind of missed posting on Wednesday. So I'm coming at you late with a quick post, as we're getting ready for Shabbat. Please forgive the thrown-togetherness of this post. 1. It's a day of …
In My Life ~ a very random life/photo dump
Hey guys! I haven't been creating a ton of art lately, (and what I have I can't share with you yet, because either a) I don't have permission, b) secret projects are a thing, or c) I just don't like sharing unfinished artwork until I can also show you the finished product [I know, I'm …
