Who says you've lost that loving feeling? Not this kitty! It's found your spark and will be sure to let you know just how it feels about being ghosted.

This kitty has been waiting all winter to get their hands on some Spring Rolls, and I can't say I blame them!

This kitty doesn't just come prepared, she's coming in hot with receipts and they say she isn't buying your BS. Not now, not ever!

Who you gonna call when you have a problem? Exorcat, of course! This furry feline is here to help with all your ghosts, ghouls, demons, and hauntings. Just don't ask him to help with your rodent problem! Those are beyond him.

I was thinking this week about how our DNA is woven together and how that is a lot like knitting. And then I thought about the people in the LGBTQIA+ community and this design popped into my head. So, right now I’m working my way through some of the more underrepresented flags and superimposing them on the DNA double helix with knitting needles to show that this is how people are made, and it’s beautiful and should be celebrated with love and vibrancy.

This is a line and scene from my latest story about a paranormal detective agency and I wanted to get it illustrated how I envisioned it in my head.

Mary Shelley was famous for her eccentric love of Percy Shelley. They consecrated their relationship at her mother's grave and after his death she carried his calcified heart around in his final poem, Adonis. This is a Valentine design for the literature goth nerds.

There’s an old saying about catching flies with honey and this is a funny take on it. I've seen jokes similar to this, but I decided to add on the extra bit about choosing your own adventure.

The idea of eternal connection overlapping with my love of all this Halloween themed created this. Skeletons forever locked in an embrace, their hearts entwined.

I love sugar gliders. They are so cute. I also love coffee. I decided to do a fun thing with both.

You ever just stop and ask yourself, what the fox was that? I know I do…a lot.

The way my cat has zero F’s to give when the dog tries to run up on her made me think of this and I just had to create it.

My cat often just stares at me and somehow I know exactly what it is that he wants. Obviously the answer is that I have been programmed to obey every one of his needs at a glance.

I was looking at a butterfly cocoon and thinking about the idea of transformation and growth and this image came up in my mind. So, I had to put it on a design.

How I imagine my cats would react to me if I were to expire and return to the earth.

I spent the day watching the launch of the new app by Zuck and thought of how the blue bird app feels like it's unraveling. Then, I decided to make art out of it. Because why not. LOL!

This is an image that has been with me for such a long time. The idea of good and evil, pleasure and pain, loss and joy. They are two sides of the same coin, with both beauty and horror and sadness infinitely stretched between them and making them such different experiences. but also, so closely tied that they could be touching.

I have deep obsessions with both outer space, galaxies, nebula, and cats. So, in this piece I decided to combine the two into one image. I like to think of all the strange things that happen out in the deep space and imagine that somewhere there are chaos cats running through the cosmos.

In my life I have been privileged to have had many different cats that became part of our family. I worked at a vet clinic for 16 years, and rescued so many out of pure love and always got love back.This painting is of my bottle fed kitty, Fox.

This line comes from a poem I wrote that goes: I have loved - without limits, those who didn't deserve it, those who couldn't love me back, friends, family, my daughter, All without hesitation. But the hardest trick I ever learned Was how to love myself.

In my life I have been privileged to have had many different dogs that became part of our family. I worked at a vet clinic for 16 years, and rescued so many out of pure love and always got love back. This piece is of our newest dog, Cosmo.

I've always heard that if aliens were here on Earth, they would be using cats to spy on us because cats are everywhere and are often either worshipped or ignored. This inspired my drawing of a black cat, aliens, starry night skies, and a UFO abduction. What else could you need?

A portrait

Painting my interpretation of tarot and this is what I feel when I pull judgement.

The cuteness of this little rabbit is too much.

"We built the story of what could be from the bones of nothing until it consumed us." is the ending line to a poem I wrote called "The DNA of the World." I superimposed them over one of my paintings.

This is my cat, every single night, as soon as 9 pm hits. He starts screaming at me and demanding that I feed him ASAP. I have no idea how he tells time, but he does.

Creating Dreamscapes is hard. Floating through them doesn't have to be.

I love exploring the ideas of mythology and it's impact on the world. I also love science. This is a merger of the two.

I wanted to rewrite the story of Medusa and Andromeda the way it should have been, with one woman who was wronged and sacrificed rescuing another who was wronged and sacrificed.

I took this photo of a butterfly that was in my yard with a broken wing and superimposed it over a picture of the night sky. The result was beautiful and haunting

Weasels are such fun and inquisitive creatures. They make me happy.

I caught a picture of this mallard giving me the side eye the other day and just had to paint it.

This is the second in the series that I created from a picture of a butterfly with a broken wing that I found in my yard. I love how they turned out.

Giraffes are such expressive creatures. I love watching them play and interact with their little ones.
