I contributed a few drawings to the #iseeyou project through @yoloartsca - very cool to see the final publication, designed by @melissauroff (who is also in the #saccommunitymurals project, on another team).
Hopefully this book brings some comfort to those who receive a copy. 🧡

Artist collaboration piece 2.

We tried a collaborative art project yesterday. Each person contributes then passes the piece to the left until everyone has added a layer.
It was our first in-person meeting; we had a great time chatting, creating, and playing with art supplies!

I just dropped off my piece, Whirlpool, to the lovely people at @crockerart for the #bignamessmallart show!

I actually dragged my husband to #volunteer at that event probably 15 years ago. I'm so honored to be included as an #artist #thistime.

Finally finished this big mama, at 44x18"... another cabinet door, 2 of 3 that I acquired. Thinking of calling it "when pigs fly" but I'm open to suggestions?
