The perfect way to debrief after the first week of junior year? Sourdough, hot from the oven with homemade cultured butter.
Gathering garden goodies under close supervision. #catsofbluesky #catlife #whiskerWednesday #cats #gardening #Colorado
Great shot!
Enjoying my broad tails until my Rufous chases everyone off. #birds #hummingbird #photography #naturephotography
Gotta feed my sourdough after listening to New Heights. Are you bready for it? #TaylorSwift #newheights #sourdough #itsaloafstory

My husband is getting a lot of incoherent ramblings and squeaks.
Had a bit of a freak out about how fast my son is growing up, so I booked a last minute road trip up the Pacific Coast. We brought my niece and spent the past couple weeks soaking up the sunsets, redwoods, and salty air. It all goes so fast…kids and vacations. #photography #motherhood #roadtrip
Yup! It’s so beautiful.
Thanks!

Just what my soul needed. #pnw #sunset #pacific #Oregon
Good moody misty morning! #pnw
No beach sunset for us tonight. I’m too much of a mountain goat to tempt a tsunami advisory. #NorthernCalifornia #tsunami #earthquake #coast #photography #naturephotography
Under this towering cathedral of redwood and sky, I stand in reverence and awe. #redwoods #photography #naturephotography #treehugger #California
Dreamy!

In our garden’s first year, a toad family showed up and my son named all of them Mark Ruffalo. It stuck. Today, I hollered up to him, “MARK RUFFALO IS UNDER THE IRISES!” Poor sprinkler repair guy paused, got back in his van… and left. #photography #garden #toad #naturephotography #gardenfriend
Working on a memorial painting for this sweet pup. 💙 #painting #watercolor #dog #art #myart
Last night’s storm. I used to work on software for meteorologists. It gave me a deep appreciation for how weather impacts everything. From your mortgage to the supply chain to your picnic. NWS isn’t just important. It’s essential for our future and survival. #storm #saveNWS #standupforscience
Even our dog had to stop to admire the sunset. #sunset #colorado #boulder #photography

So cool!
Breathtaking wildflowers in the high country this weekend. Monkshood, Indian Paintbrush, Rocky Mountain Columbine, Buttercup, Shooting Stars, Kings Crown. #wildflowers #colorado #rockymountains #photography #naturephotography
Mine sit like this when they want me to fill the bird bath. They are persistent lil things.

Here is a little bit of magic to counteract my doomscrolling. Despite being born and raised in Colorado, I only discovered we had fireflies a few years ago. Now I drag the family out almost nightly to witness the whimsy. #getoutside #motherearth
First tomato out of the garden means it’s officially summer. #summer #garden #harvest #homegrown #Colorado
Wow! Whatta shot!
Our nightly walk, to watch the sunset and then the fireflies. #getoutside #Blueskyartshow #photography #sunset #flatirons #boulder #colorado #naturephotography
Our neighborhood baby ducks are looking more like a gang of teenagers these days. #photography #naturephotography #ducks #mallards #birds
What’s up doc? Curious lil guy checking us out. #photography #naturephotography #Colorado
Happy Solstice! After way too long, I’m back in the saddle and doing a horse share with a friend. I’m so excited for more long days and long trails. #solstice #horses #horsingaround #colorado
Denver showed up. Proud of Colorado! Proud to be a Coloradan! #NoKings #resist #MeltIce
Art is political. #NoKings #june14 #meltIce #resist
Today is giving me hope despite my normally pessimistic view. Together we got this.
I could write a dissertation! What did you end up picking?
Love it!
Spending the night working on our signs for tomorrow. I will exercise my right to free speech and assembly. I will raise my voice against hateful dictators. #nokings #resist #painting #meltice #acrylicpainting #protestposters
I’m trying to capture more day-to-day moments. When the world is hard,my friends keep me laughing and give me hope. #friends #photography
Lately, I spend my evenings sitting in the garden, watching our feisty hummingbirds flit around. #birds #photography #birdwatching #garden #Colorado #boulder #hummingbirds
It’s hard not to spend all day putzing in my chaos garden. #roses #peonies #irises #columbines #gardening #garden #flowers #gardendesign #flower #growyourown #gardeninspiration #gardener #growyourownfood #gardens #naturephotography #organic #photography #chaosgarden
My annual ladybug release for the garden. This year, the aphids are particularly bad, so I expect a few waves of ladybugs. #photography #garden #gardening #ladybugs #summer
So true.
This is my home. I yearn for a world where I don’t have to have these terrifying, heart-wrenching talks with my boy about the horrors that unfold just a few blocks from our home. #boulderStrong #Boulder

I died in childbirth, and to me, motherhood is the realization I would do it every day just to have my son. He doesn’t hold my hand anymore, but he does remind me, daily, that I’m 6 inches shorter than he is. Happy Mother’s Day-Mamas, you make the world go round. #photography #happyMothersDay
It’s always an honor when friends ask me to paint something for a gift, especially a Mother’s Day present. I don’t paint for the end product, so I am inclined to just paint things over and over, learning from each iteration. #portrait #acrylicpainting #painting #happyMothersDay
Me too!
Working on my watercolor portraits, here’s a quick WIP of my son. #watercolor #art #painting #watercolorpainting #portrait #watercolorartist #sketching
Sixteen years ago my son was born in a state closing snowstorm and every year since we’ve had a storm to celebrate/wreck our plans. But my garden loves the moisture. #tulips #garden #colorado #photography #springtime
Flying into the storm. #clouds #storm #colorado #photography
Love it!
Proud of Colorado today! #handsoff #denver #colorado

Wow!
Happy Spring! It’s funny, I feel like a human again. #spring #birds #painting #acrylic #photography
Happy (delayed) Pi Day (to those who observe). This year it’s Guinness pie, mud pie…and the blatant chokehold NYT recipes have on me. Let’s be irrational. #pi #pie
My kiddo on a snow day a few years ago. #painting #watercolor #portrait #selftaught
These are a few of my favorite things. Looking forward to when our CSAs are in full swing. #communitysupportedagriculture #farmfresh #eatlocal

-4° this morning. le sigh. #colorado #winterwonderland
I can feel it
WIP for my Valentine. I was aiming for a romantic “my fragile heart is safe with you” but it’s leaning a lil horror movie “heart of my enemies.” Also my day job is hearts so I hyperfixate. Joys of a WIP who knows where it will land. #valentines #wip #painting #gouache #acrylic @bsky.art
Omg that looks awesome. Definitely going to try it!
When not painting I’m putzing in the kitchen. Tonight the sickness had me trying hand cut noodles for my chicken noodle soup. Might be a lil chunky but tasty! #chickennoodlesoup #homemade #noods #food #homecooking #fromscratch
Yes!!!
This smiley lil guy is just the best. I’m experimenting with acrylic portraits, trying to muster the courage to venture into oil #selftaught #acrylic #oil #painting
Lovely!
little #hope from my #garden… #crocus #imbolc
Love this!
Happy Imbolc! #imbolc #spring
Magnificent!!

I started painting as a way to manage my anxiety and be more present. Now, I love looking back on how I’ve grown. #watercolor #petportrait #mentalhealth #art #painting #anxiety
A few of my past work hoping to make new art friends! #watercolor #dog #petportrait #painting #art
So cute!
Escapism for my sanity
I’d love to try!
