art v artist -- some of my favorite paintings i made in 2025, despite it being a tough year of chronic illness & low productivity, i found (and made) some whimsy 🪞 #art #ethereal #fantasyart #womanartist

a quiet moment painted in gouache on paper 🕯️ #traditionalart #sketchbook #fantasyart #ethereal #impressionism

acrylic on canvas in progress 🪞 fascinated lately about how many healing myths worldwide are based in natural bodies of water. painting myself into this one #impressionism #traditionalart #fantasyart #ethereal

this year was a tough one for me, health-wise (& therefore productivity-wise) but proud to still have made paintings, if slowly. #traditionalart #fantasyart #painting #snailmailclub
