Hello, my shop is open again for a short time.

I've been accepted into graduate school to get my masters in fine art, an opportunity that I've been working towards for seven years. I had to withdraw the first time I was accepted, and this second chance is such a blessing.

However, nearly all of my supplies are eight hundred miles away, and I will need them before the semester begins in two months. I'm raising money to get my art materials and tools that have been in a storage unit for two years.

If you would like to support the cause and help me get my studio equipment back, your support will help me out tremendously as I prepare for what’s to come!

Do you like these? I will make you one of your very own, however you like. My commissions are open for a short time.

Yesterday was my birthday 🖤

Here are some photos that capture my essence: photographing an alleyway, smiling and feeling adventurous, getting ready with a fresh pair of homemade leg warmers, and holding a questionably haunted little doll from the thrift store

I took this with a soda can, during a pinhole photograph exercise at my local art center's photography club. This was a six minute exposure, on a day with very little wind. I love how many details were captured (uncropped version below)

what I searched for all along

This weekend is the last chance to purchase these sculptures in my shop at half price.

Thank you to everyone who has placed an order! We've had the first vet visit and little Mobin is on his way to being worm-free. We just need to get him neutered and a few other vaccines. Thank you for the support!

In case you missed it, I'm having a sale to raise vet funds! These house sculptures, as well as postcards, are available at a discount right now.

to elaborate on the situation at hand a bit:

Help me raise vet funds for this little stray cat we found!

I found this beautiful boy in the cold just before the snow storm, and I am trying to raise money for his vet bills. His name is Mobin.

He's had his preliminary checkup to get a rabies shot and make sure he wasn't microchipped, but unfortunately he has worms, and he needs a full vet exam, worm treatment, other vaccinations, and neutering.

To raise money to get this precious baby in good health, I've re-listed some artwork on my website at a heavy discount. Most of the work in my shop is half the price it was previously, including the sanctuaries, small masks, and other little houses. If you think it's worth more, feel free to leave a tip at checkout, but I just want to get him healthy. Shipping within the U.S. is free on orders over $40

Thank you for supporting the cause. Mobin thanks you as well :)
