The call of a friend
The more I look at your art, the more it reminds me of some really cool quilted scenes I’ve seen on here. The textures and the shapes and the lines are so lovely and squiggly. Very fluid.
Thank you, 🫶❤️ sometimes I looked at the finished pieces and thought they looked knitted too.😆
May I ask… would it be alright if I were to adapt the line work of your jellyfish piece into needle lace?? This wouldn’t actually happen for a long while because I have other lace projects I’m working on, but I figure it can’t hurt to ask ahead of time.
Sure! just don’t use the piece for commercial uses or claim the design. If you ever make it, be sure to share. I’m quite curious how that painting can be turned into needle lace. 👀🤔

Playground
They’re cats, not some other creatures wearing costumes at all.
I've recently started painting again for the first time in about a decade. I'd only done it to make custom Christmas gifts for years. I am loving getting back into it. I've been doing watercolors of animals. Is it okay if I use your jellyfish as inspiration for my own piece? Like obviously not a copy by any means I just like the way you framed it with the jellies as the corners
Hi, I’m glad you can find the joy in painting again. If you ever make a painting inspired by my jellyfish painting, I look forward to seeing it. 😁👀
A Cuttlefish in motion
I was mesmerised by the motion of their fins so I challenged myself to make an animation of them.
