Featured piece:

Nevertheless, HOPE Persists

Archival prints, stickers, and merch with this image are now available. RESIST with beauty.

A reminder that ART IS POLITICAL.

As a bisexual, middle-aged American woman with invisible disabilities, I began this piece 24 days into the new fascist dictatorship in the US.

With roughly 8 hours of careful tracing of the reference photo provided by Alan Marsh, and north of 75 hours of work to complete it, I've found that focusing on this piece has been a cathartic meditation on HOPE in the midst of darkness and bloodshed as the federal administration has swiftly dismantled the US government, Constitution, civil liberties, and the agencies which protect and provide for us, the nation's citizens.

My most ambitious piece to date, with 2 years of self-taught experience, I used bright colors to contrast with the blackness representing evil intent and deeds.  Bloody shades of red represent the callous actions taken to harm the most vulnerable in our midst. 

I painted a pastel rainbow spectrum on the window itself to represent *both* the PRIDE of the queer community and the HOPE that God promised.  I further used gradients of white, cream, orange, and red on the filigree highlights to represent additional spectra of diversity, and the beauty they add to the greater picture. 

For indeed, the *binary*, MONOCHROME world our new government prefers is far less interesting or beautiful.

Die-cut donut animal stickers now available

While the original paintings that inspired these stickers are displayed in Hermiston Donut Shop in Hermiston, OR - their likenesses are now available as die-cut stickers!

Each sticker measures roughly 3” on its long side, except the tiger cats, which measures about 3.25” wide.

Notice that in most cases the donuts cast a shadow or stick out from the rest of the image. This is because the donuts were all painted separately, then added to the paintings on top of bumpers to raise them up from the surfaces of the paintings, making them effectively 3D elements on the paintings. We’ve done what we can to preserve that aspect of these paintings in sticker form!
