Under Wraps
Gouache on paper 8x8

A bow of foil, painted in gouache. But if the painting is of wrapping, does the painting need wrapping? And if I paint the bow, is the gift already wrapped? These are the important questions. Wait … what? @illumebooks

On A Mission

POW. BAM. Straight out of the comic book aisle and into your dreams. Yellow glasses, zero f’s and main-character energy, she doesn’t need a ghost writer, she creates her own plot twists. #gouache #winsorandnewton #comics #yellowglasses #illumebooks

Christmas Past
Gouache on paper 8x8

Put down your pumpkin spice latte and start thinking about the holidays. This little box of vintage ornaments is giving me serious Christmas nostalgia. And yes, I know it’s early. But sometimes getting into the holiday spirit takes a little longer. On its way to @illumebooks for the holidays.
