I'm not dead! I just had a baby. Which at some moments felt like I was dying. My art has taken a break for bit while we adjust to our new life. Thank you for continuing to follow me and support my creative endeavors. I will one day rise again! 😂 #art #artist

This is what's up today. 😍 Didn't start off in the mood to paint this morning, but sometimes you have to make yourself begin to find the mood. Finishing a room interior I started weeks ago and drew a few more quickies that I want to slap some color on next. #ink #drawing #art #artist #watercolor #sketchbook #artistsontumblr #artistsoninstagram #tea #strathmore

I always have a hard time capturing her likeness, but the photo reference is one of my favorite pictures of the lovely @losquared . Drawn by hand, colored in Procreate. I had too much fun making this. ❤️ #drawing #art #artist #ink #ipad #procreate #portlandartist

Had some serious fun (oxymoron?) playing in my sketchbook last weekend. Hubs and I went to Sbux and soaked up some creative time; a much-needed respite from the loco that is our life right now. We scanned these drawings and then I had a stupid good time coloring them digitally. Thus, more to follow. 😊 #ink #drawing #art #artist #sketchbook #strathmore #artistsontumblr #artistsoninstagram #sketch #artistsofinstagram #portlandartist #fineart #pdxart #nofilter #strathmoreart #portrait #selfportrait #sketch

Confession time: I've been struggling to make art since the summer time, and now the struggle has continued into my favorite art-making month of the year, October. I'll give myself credit. I spent just about the entire summer sick on the couch in the early stages of pregnancy, and then this fall we were apartment-hunting and then moving. All big adjustments. But about 10 days into October I realized I'm missing Inktober, something I've cherished the last couple years and utilized to jump start art projects in my most productive creative month. And for missing it, I'm super bummed. I've made a few little watercolors, which I'll post here in the time that's left, but I don't have anything directed or structured. "Something is better than nothing?" Or... "Better late than never?" #ink #drawing #art #artist #sketchbook #strathmore #watercolor #artistsontumblr #artistsoninstagram #sketch #artistsofinstagram #portlandartist #fineart #pdxart #mixedmedia #illustration #inktober
