Such a fun night at Second Saturdays! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ The evening started off a little stressful because we arrived late for setup ๐Ÿ˜… But thankfully everything came together, and I actually ended up loving our new booth location because I got to hang paintings on the outside of my tent too which made the whole set up feel bigger and more open.

The night started slow, but really picked up later on, and Iโ€™m so grateful to everyone who stopped by, connected with my work, followed me online, or took home a piece of art. Your support truly means so much to me. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

One of the most special parts of the night was selling some of my older paintings from the beginning of my art journey. It feels really meaningful knowing they finally found homes ๐Ÿฅน

This will probably be my last outdoor show for a while because the Arizona heat is brutal โ˜€๏ธ But Iโ€™m hoping to find some indoor events this summer. Either way, Iโ€™ll keep sharing updates here ๐Ÿ˜Šโค๏ธ

And, as always, if you ever see a piece youre interested in, feel free to reach out to me directly. ๐Ÿ˜Šโœจ๏ธ

Strength in Color ๐ŸŒˆโœŠ๐Ÿฝโœจ Thereโ€™s a certain strength that comes from learning to exist in a world that doesnโ€™t always make space for youโ€”especially when your identity doesnโ€™t fit neatly into what people understand.

This piece reflects the pain, the oppression, and the resilience that shape that experience, and the choice to stand strong in who you are anyway. Strength in Color speaks to that kind of courageโ€”and how living in your truth can open the door for others to do the same.

This piece is now available on my website, and Iโ€™d love for it to find the right home โค๏ธ Youโ€™re also welcome to DM me if youโ€™re interested or have any questions.

Iโ€™ll also have it on display this weekend at:
โœจ Second Saturdays Night Market
โฐ 6โ€“9 PM

Come see it in person and experience it up close ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ill have all of my other artwork on display as well ๐Ÿ˜Š hope to see you there! โœจ๏ธ

Sharing a little piece of my heart behind Strength in Color ๐ŸŒˆโœจ๏ธ

This video is from my artist speech at the Artist Call, where I talked about the meaning and inspiration behind the piece. Creating this painting was a deeply intentional process, and it means a lot to be able to share the story behind it in a space like this.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to listen and connect with it. ๐Ÿ’œ

Iโ€™ll be adding the piece to my website soon, but if youโ€™re interested in it in the meantime, feel free to DM me ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝโœจ

Iโ€™m still taking this all inโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜Œ I applied to the Artist Call again this year, and Iโ€™m so grateful to have been selected alongside 15 incredibly talented artists, and even more honored to have received 2nd place! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅˆ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜โœจ๏ธ

This show is always really meaningful to me. As a q***r artist, having spaces like this that celebrate identity, expression, and community matters so much. It pushes me to create something new each year that feels honest, powerful, and true to who I am.

The whole experience was justโ€ฆ really special. Getting to meet the other artists, share ideas, learn from each other, and just exist in such an open, welcoming, and supportive space felt so good. ๐Ÿ˜Š Truly the best kind of energy.

I left feeling inspired, grateful, and already excited for what next year might bring ๐Ÿซถโœจ

And special thanks to for providing the space ๐Ÿ˜Š

Come see the completed painting in person this Sunday! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐ŸŽจโœจ I created this painting for the Artist Call, and Iโ€™m so honored that it was accepted. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ Iโ€™m really proud of how it came togetherโ€”it holds so much emotion, strength, and pride. ๐ŸŒˆโค๏ธ

These photos show just a small part of the process. From transferring the drawing onto the canvas to slowly building up each section with layer after layer of paint. My unique color block style takes a lot of patience and attention to detail.

This piece was built intentionally, one section at a time. Starting with a gray paint pour for the background. Then adding subtle splatters of rainbow colors before painting the color block person on top.

Iโ€™d love for you to come see the finished piece in person and experience it for yourself ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŒˆ

Swipe to see some of the paintings I sold over the weekend. ๐Ÿ˜Š I had such a great weekend vending at Second Friday and Second Saturday! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

It's been a while since I've vended my artwork and I forgot how fun and meaningful it is. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Things have been tough lately, and getting to be out there, share my art, and connect with people was exactly what I needed. Hearing how my work resonated with others reminded me why I do this.

Iโ€™m really grateful for everyone who stopped by, took the time to look, purchased my artwork or shared their thoughts with me. It filled my heart in a way I really needed ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿฝ

Iโ€™m honestly surprised I havenโ€™t shared this one yet because itโ€™s one of my favorites ๐Ÿ˜โœจ

Thereโ€™s so much to take inโ€”the details, the texture, the way the gold catches the light, and how the piece can feel different depending on how you see it. Some people see a sunrise, others a moonlit night. I love that it leaves space for your own interpretation and experience.

Iโ€™ll have this one with me at my booth this weekend if you want to see it in person ๐Ÿ˜Š Itโ€™s been so long since Iโ€™ve vended (honestly over a yearโ€ฆ maybe two ๐Ÿ˜…), so Iโ€™m really excited to be back! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ
