An Ode to Spring Flowers

Spring Anenome Flower Arrangement

Where did April go? I had a goal of posting once a month to this blog for 2026 but April came and went. But here I am posting for May, I have been spending a lot of time outside enjoying as much spring weather as possible before summer starts. All the outside time inspired my Spring issue of Zone to focus on flower arrangements. I think I might have been a florist in another life. I drew several flower arrangements from my imagination using spring flowers. I had so much fun that it got me wondering if people would by drawings of flower arrangements, the drawings would stay alive forever!

Enjoying Every second of Spring

in , ,

This year I have been making an effort to appreciate every phase of Spring. The changes in the plants can happen over night and if you are not paying attention you can miss Spring completely. This Spring I have been working on drawing and collage this month, mixing and matching mediums and making just to make and not have an end goal. This moth drawing is one of my experiments, I like the way it turned out and plan to do more!

A Fun Mistake!

I was going to enter Pressingmatters February print contest where you could only use orange and green ink, but I made a mistake. I went to submit it and realized I had made my print the wrong size! After being annoyed at myself for not paying attention to the submission details I thought I am going to make a stop motion with this print and my idea worked! I am delighted with the results:)

Last But Not Least - Capricorn & Aquarius!

in ,

It’s 2026 and I feel like the year is already going by at warp speed! I have now illustrated all 12 zodiac signs as downloadable digital wallpapers. I started this in June of 2025 and it’s been so fun finding out more about each sign. I will say that I found Capricorn a bit tough but I eventually got it! If your looking for your sign just scroll down and there are more when you click older posts at the bottom. Happy New Year:)

Mexican Hot Chocolate is Joy!

in , ,

Goodbye 2025! Half way through the year I quit a job that made me sad and I was so excited to leave it in the dust. While searching for a new job I filled my days with working on art work and making animations. I had a blast and was able to create so may fun things over the last six months. I am feeling like myself again and start a new job next week. My last animation of the year was an ode to Mexican Hot Chocolate which brings me so much joy whenever I get a chance to have some. Happy New Year to you and I hope that you find time for joy of all sizes in 2026!
