a few weeks ago I had the absolute privilege of standing by my friend on their big day. I created these portraits while we were getting ready for the wedding, and I loved the process so much that I’m now opening up similar portrait commissions!

Meet Phocas, my dnd characters kitten.

Fun fact: His cat-sitter is a genie, hence the jewels.

With Bridgerton part 2 coming out tomorrow I thought I might share an old piece.

Costume design of a regency day dress and the completed dress that I made based on my design.

+bonus Spencer on the final slide.

I have been drawing these little creatures for the longest time now, and after years of working on their story, I am now I the process of sending them to some literary agents. I am both excited and nervous about what their future looks like.

Meet Phocas, my dnd characters kitten.

Fun fact: he was a gift to my character, Kassia, after another pc killed her undead cat. Rude, but it was a very nice apology.

Saw Wicked part 2 last week. I have loved Wicked for so many years, and it has been amazing to see it be taken care of so well.

Since seeing the film, I have had a few painting ideas bouncing around in my head that I have to get out. Still working on the sketches but I am happy with it so far.

Sketch of my two familiars in dnd for Halloween. Hoping I will have time to paint this soon.

The bone cat is Basil, and the kitten in the ghost costume is Phocas.

Early Halloween plein air painting with @artnest.au.

Funny story I forgot my brushes, so I painted with a piece of straw. Super happy and pleasantly surprised with how they turned out.
