Happy Björk Bday to all my fellow Björk dörks ✨

It's been nearly a year since I last picked up a paint brush and I finally did today. Graduating college really affected me in a way I did not anticipate. I had never felt so unmotivated in my life that it really began to eat at me mentally and physically. It's unlike me to not be working on a project, and as time went on I've felt increasingly fearful to start anything new. When I set up my materials today I felt that this was a make or break moment for me to continue to strive for a love I had lost. So with much hesitation I managed to smudge something on paper. I'm not one to be so openly dramatic on social media so I apologize in advance for this sappy post. But I felt it was worth noting that I feel a lot better today. Also, TY to @bargaingay for being my eye model ;•) (at San Francisco, California)

Would you share some of your art supplies? Specially for ink or tiny lines? Thanks much! I'm starting to draw myself and your work is inspiring 🌼

Aw, Thank you -- and of course! If you’re referring to my watercolor work, I use regular ol’ Windsor & Newton watercolor tubes, Dr. Martens Black Star matte ink and just a regular set of basic sketching pencils. For really fine detail lines I like to have some fine micron pens lying around but for more wispy varying lines I like to use this no-name quill brush that I have. It has long tapered bristles that make it easy to load up with ink and makes nice varying lines. I don’t think they have them at all art shops but I’ve seen them at the more independent ones, but definitely online! I hope this was helpful :) Thanks for writing!

TOMORROW NIGHT – Be sure to stop by the @themidwaygallery ! I would love to see all your beautiful faces.

900 Marin Street San Francisco, CA 94124

“Wallpaper showcases six female artists who defy constructs via the mediums and materials they employ or the messages they convey about self and identity within our modern society. We aim to showcase female artists who we feel contribute to the collective power of women in the art world as well as celebrate female creativity reclaimed within the domestic sphere. Wallpaper celebrates female artists today using their talents not only outside the private realm, but as a means of livelihood.”

Save the date! I'm a part of this group show at The Midway Gallery. Not only am I showing among five other super talented ladies but the show is curated by women too! Swing by if you're in the bay! Opening reception is November 18th 6-9pm.
