As promised...'Secrets' 2026 edition. This time the process involved the not so forgiving but ever so fun medium of Lino printing! This piece is composed of 2 different stamps to tell a more in-depth and broader perspective of the concept and stories behind secrets.

'Secrets' (2024) is a pen and ink study and a bit of a reflective exercise for me at the time and as I redid the piece recently in a different medium (coming up!)

"Let Me Talk" is a sketchbook drawing I made while at my old desk job in 2025. The piece speaks on both social, cultural, and self-censorship.

I'm a bit sad today, so I'm trying to think about what usually makes me happy while painting a #MadsMikkelsen <:

For many, understanding or expressing their emotions is an overwhelming challenge, making depression even more isolating.

My first post here on Mastodon!

I'm so excited to share with you this painting by my wonderful Autistic son; 14 years old. His art is his therapy and expression and joy.

How gorgeous is this mark making?!
I love those thick, pastel sweeps on the right and the smudgy tangles on the left. Along with his classic bold, red start.

He hasn't said it's finished so we'll see what happens next.
