Painted my panels for @bavision2020 a-la mural style 👩🏻‍🎨. You can enjoy a piece of my public art in the comfort of your home by attending Burien Arts event tomorrow night + support a great community organization. One of the largest local art auction of the year, Vision 20/20, highlights 46 artists, each producing nine 8”x8” pieces, priced at $40 each. Find the works you love before the bell rings, which is the signal to grab your favorites & RUN to the cashier. This is one of my faves of the year. #seattlemuralist #burienevents #onesevennine #179progress #sugarpaint #sugaracrylic #ironlak #artprimo #greenranger was here! #Artprimo now for a gloss varnish! We got a fun time lapse coming up, stay tuned ✌️✌️

Okay, it’s sharing hour ⏳. I’ve been working on this painting for @viragogallery + @waywardretreats show & I’ve been struggling technically on how to get what’s in my brain 🧠 onto the canvas 🎨. My comfort zone has been breached. While she’s almost done 🐌, I’m still feeling so insecure 😟! She’ll be on display at Virago Gallery NOV 23rd - JAN 10th with a number of viewing opportunities showing with Wayward Ladies from past retreats. Meet & Greet with the curator @ascherbic.wit that day 1-3pm. You can inspect my work, see my challenge complete, and tell me if i did it all wrong 😫😹! But for real, with 2018 coming to a close I’m proud I pushed myself to embrace acrylic a little more as a medium, incorporate watercolors to my wood grains, & expanded the context of my ideas. Why can’t everything be in spray paint?! #onesevennine #179progress #bottles #potions #witchywoman #oyster #oystershell #ladyshuckerly #thelittlemermaid #acrylic #watercolor #craftwave #cwaquafan #seattleartists #waywardladies #viragogallery #converse #chucks

When I reached 5th grade an amazing thing happened to me. I found comics, specifically X-Men. Instantly this chubby, glasses wearing, bookish, introvert went from drawing unicorns & ballerinas to super heroines like Jean Grey & Storm. My view of myself changed, my life changed. When I drew them, I became them. Later I latched onto Rouge’s standoffishness & uncertainty because of her powers. I looked at my artistic awkwardness as my own mutant ability, something that made me different, but a skill that I learned to control through drawing & this became my identity... The Blue Team became my escape... this very comic was my first & I would draw from it over and over and over again. Stan Lee created so many more wonderful characters & story lines... characters that then crossed over into the different genres I would later belong to; Graffiti, Hip Hop, Street Art etc. Even now, you’ll see his conceptual influence in my work, the excitement when he cameos in Marvel movies. Today was sad for me, not just that he passed away, but that so many of my friends and colleagues shared their experiences, that although 5th grade me felt so alone, I wasn’t, we all have our stories. This brings me comfort. Here’s to celebrating the life & legacy of The Great Stan Lee. #xmen #marvelcomics #blueteam #rouge #chere #xavier #stanlee #marvel #sharingtime #girlslikecomicstoo #xaviersschoolforgiftedyoungsters #superhero #psylocke blue or purple hair 🤔?
