Act I: Find a beautiful Katydid on the sidewalk and bring it inside to warm up. Act II: Realize Katydidn't respond to the indoor heat. Found a second one today in the same spot, so I’ve officially moved into 'research mode.' If I find another one tomorrow, I’ll be ready with a cozy, temperature-controlled setup. Has anyone else noticed them out and about lately?"🧐📖 #NatureNotes #Katydid"

Fresh off the easel! ✨ I’m continuing my journey into painterly realism with "Cypress at the Springs." This 24" x 48" piece is actually still wet! There’s something so special about capturing the light and movement of the springs at this scale. #PainterlyRealism #FloridaSprings #OilPainting #StudioUpdate #CypressAtTheSprings #GainesvilleArtist

Following up on my post about "Lifetime of Memories"—same technique, brand new memories. ✨ I am so happy to share that these two 7" X 5" pieces will be donated to the Friends of Elementary Arts Student Art Exhibit, in partnership with the Gainesville Fine Arts Association. @gfaagallery They will be used as sketchbook covers: one will be gifted to a student participating in the exhibit, and the other will be sold to support the program. #GainesvilleArt #GFAA #FriendsOfElementaryArts #ArtEducation #HealingThroughArt #GainesvilleFL #SupportLocalArtists

I originally created "Lifetime of Memories" to navigate the grief of losing my parents in my thirties. Today, I’m returning to this style not to process loss, but to honor a lifetime of growth with gratitude. Same technique, brand new memories. Have you ever revisited an old style and realized how much you’ve changed? #GriefAndLoss #HealingThroughArt #LifeAfterLoss #GrowthMindset #JoyRestored #PaintingDesign #Storytelling #ArtCommunity #InstaArt

It was a pleasure working on this recent book illustration project with authors Rachel and Bill (R.M. Frazier and W.J. McElroy)! The illustrations were created in a hand-drawn style to be "relatable" to all readers. Look for the release of ENGINEERING ETHICS GUIDEBOOK, published by Kendall Hunt Publishing Company, in January 2026. #EngineeringEthics #Engineering #Ethics #Guidebook #STEM #HigherEducation #Textbook
