Progress on my lil' Neo Traditional Fox tattoo design 🦊 6.22.26
Featured in The Visual Art Journal, Issue 49
Earlier this year, I had the honor of being featured in Issue 49 of The Visual Art Journal. The interview was published online in February, with the print edition released shortly afterward.
In the conversation, I shared insights into my creative journey, including my approach to both abstract artwork and horror-inspired illustrations. We discussed the evolution of my artistic practice, from launching my first art business in 2011 to rediscovering my creative flow years later and ultimately founding Huskee Art in 2024.
The interview also touches on the challenges and rewards of pursuing a creative path, balancing artistic exploration with entrepreneurship, and embracing the constant evolution that comes with being an artist.
Being featured in The Visual Art Journal was a meaningful milestone, and I'm grateful to their team for taking an interest in my work and for supporting independent artists.
Thank you to everyone who has followed, encouraged, and supported my creative journey along the way.

Death Before Dawn, Original Painting
Acrylic, Ink, and Cigarette Ash on Canvas 20 × 28 inches 2026
A fragmented reflection on staying oriented when life feels uncertain and finding moments of hope within instability; trying to keep your head toward the sky when the ground beneath you is unstable.
I first wrote this poem in 2020, at the beginning of the COVID-19 global shutdown. As I’ve begun finalizing my book for publication, I returned to it and found it unexpectedly relevant again in the present moment. Though the painting itself began over a decade ago, I was only recently inspired to return and finally finish it this weekend.
The painting and poem come from the same place: uncertainty. I find them in dialogue with each other, even though they were created at different times. The painting moves toward orientation and the search for light within instability, while the poem sits more directly inside that instability itself. Together, they reflect both the attempt to move forward and the weight of doing so.
Looking back, I see this piece as a reflection of trying to move through uncertain periods while remaining open to hope. Revisiting both the poem and the painting years later reminded me that growth is rarely linear, and that meaning often reveals itself gradually over time.
Death Before Dawn
I. Uncertainty at its most extreme, we count the hours. Which turns into counting the minutes. Which turns into counting the days.
II. Music is exploding from the party across the street, while the cops arrive at the party downstairs, telling all the teenagers to go home. The kids never thought the night would end. The neighbor’s party is still living on.
III. An elderly woman who has been clinging to her rosary since her husband passed, lost it on the park bench yesterday. Scooped up by a toddler strolling by, it is now a replacement pacifier, covered in saliva and peanut butter.
IV. The ammunition is still off of the shelves. The death count is still rising. Children are still separated from their parents in a foreign land as they hold onto metal bars because they have nothing else to hold on to.
V. I acquire a ship to go overseas, and I can’t get my entire family on board.
VI. The divide lingers over us, as we rub the sun out of our eyes.
V.II If we even make it there, death before dawn.
A poem from my forthcoming poetry collection Muertos Vivientes: Antología Poética, completed in 2026.

I'd Rather Be Slowly Consumed by Moss 9 x 12 in Watercolor and Ink 2026
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed by the constant stream of news and the weight of everything happening in the world. Like many people, I’ve been losing sleep thinking about the humanitarian and economic crises unfolding around us.
After two weeks of anxious nights (okay, maybe more like 15 months - let’s downplay it, lol), I stepped away for a while. I turned off the news, took off my shoes, and went outside to paint and draw in nature.
When I began this piece, I had a very simple intention: to try to capture calm.
Normally when I work abstractly, I don’t set a goal; I let the process unfold and let the shapes and colors reveal themselves over time. This time, though, I started a piece with the conscious intention of holding on to a feeling of quiet and steadiness.
As the lines and washes developed, blues and greens began to emerge that reminded me of moss, water, and stone. The longer I stayed with it, the more the process itself began to slow me down.
Art can’t fix the world, but sometimes it can help us return to the ground beneath our feet. This piece was my attempt to hold on to that calm for a little while.
I had so much fun bringing this little guy to life! Here is a peek at the progression from sketch to finished piece of this sweet little ghost, created using my new Wacom One digital art tablet. 🖤

Storm x Huskee: Pastels | Part Two 12 x 9in Watercolor and Ink Series | 2025/2026 ⛈️
This piece was physically demanding in ways I hadn’t anticipated. Anxiety and long nights of poor sleep made it hard to keep my hand steady for the fine line details it required. What I thought would take a week or two stretched into nearly a month, and some days I genuinely wondered if I’d ever finish.
Throughout the process, I wanted to give up more times than I can count. I kept feeling the urge to do what I used to do in art school: rip the piece up after hours of work simply because it was not turning out the way I wanted. Now I know that is not the way. It is important to let the process play out and to keep going even when you are convinced you are failing, even when you think you suck.
As I continued working, new creatures began to emerge that I never planned or expected to see. A unicorn, a mythical wolf or lion-like figure, and creatures that felt both aquatic and otherworldly revealed themselves slowly through patience rather than control.
By the end, I fell in love with this piece. It began to feel like a mirror of my experience as a mother, sometimes messy, deeply process-oriented, colorful, and ultimately the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced.
Storm x Huskee: Pastels | Part One 12 x 9in and 7 x 9in Watercolor and Ink Series | 2025 ⛈️ A couple of weeks back, I began an unexpected art project with someone close to me. We sat at the kitchen table one Sunday afternoon and started a series of watercolor paintings. While I gravitated toward bright, bold colors, my collaborator washed the page with pastels such as pinks, baby blues, soft greens, and sorbet oranges. I was immediately drawn to the palette as they moved from piece to piece with intuitive ease. And so the first of the Storm x Huskee series was born, watercolors created by the coolest litte person I know, in tandem with my inks layered on top. These pieces grew from a deep well of love and inspiration. Just a glimpse of it, splashed across a page, taking its own creative form. I am grateful for the visual language this collaboration opened for me, a palette I had never explored before. With love, Huskee

The Color Series, 2024
I made this series last year: watercolor and ink pieces exploring how mood and memory can take shape through color, tone, and figures emerging from fluid line.
I never got around to posting them on here, but I’ve been thinking lately about how art doesn’t really expire. It lingers quietly, holding a moment until we’re ready to meet it again.
