This is my first glow-in-the-dark painting... 

It’s been a revelatory year. Events of 2020 exposed a lot of ugliness within my community... and within myself. I’ve become significantly more misanthropic. Conversely, it's been a year of rest, reflection, family togetherness, and spending time in more mindful ways, including being outside and opting out of a lot of garbage that I might have otherwise given my energy to.

Natural things.

 Color and texture play.

Stuff... things

I've been trying to teach myself some basic Procreate techniques... here are some of my attempts.

 Sleepy prairie

 Some old-fashioned leaf rubbings and embroidery on leaves

 Adventures in primitive printmaking

Well, I’ve had about enough of society so I will be in the woods and on the prairie (and otherwise avoiding nastiness and stupidity) until the election is over... and probably long after that. Godspeed, America.

 Spooky time.... a glittery, felted Vagina Dentata

I had some unusable/damaged giclee prints laying around so I decided to repurpose them into collage pieces

Color exploration... and felting.
