Taking a break from my big succulent piece to play with gouache on a little hydrangea painting ❤️ #watercolor #watercolour #botanical #gouache #wip #artmakescbus #cbusmakesart (at Columbus, Ohio)

This was such a fun nursery piece to design from scratch and paint 😄 can’t wait to deliver it to my friends next month when I travel to Israel again! #nurseryart #hebrew #watercolor #gouache #cbusmakesart #artmakescbus #artistsoninstagram (at Columbus, Ohio)

When you date someone in Israel, you start making art with Hebrew in it 🇮🇱 drafting another nursery piece for one of my new Israeli friends and his brand new baby boy ❤️ #Watercolor #wip #hebrew #israel #nurseryart (at Columbus, Ohio)

Helen Keller once said, “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” Tonight, @artbyanxiety ’s show “Outsiders” - the one about mental health that a piece about my divorce is in - is closing tonight at @thevanderelliroom . Revisiting these pieces tonight, I see that beautiful overcoming that Keller spoke of: personal pain transformed into color, beauty, message, shape and line and form, and the community that formed around this show. #artmakescbus #cbusmakesart #outsiders #franklinton #asseenincbus (at The Vanderelli Room)

Even with the rain, this is pretty much perfect - helping host another open house show here at @3060artworks, drinking wine and @thirdwaycafe coffee, listening to Zach Whitney and getting ready for @markreamy ‘s artistic video, and hanging out with my fellow member artists #hilltop #hilltopartists #cbusmakesart #artmakescbus #localart (at 3060 ARTWORKS)

Tonight’s the night :) if you’re in the @shortnorthartsdistrict tonight, look me up at @studiosonhigh Gallery - my orange piece is in their Hit the Hop Show this month! :) #watercolor #galleryart #galleryartist #juriedshow #artmakescbus #cbusmakesart #galleryhop (at Studios on High Gallery)

Chipping away at my latest (and largest!) piece with my fave @danielsmithartistsmaterials paints 😍 #watercolor #watercolour #artmakescbus #cbusmakesart #rainbowsucculents #succulents #wip #artistsoninstagram (at Columbus, Ohio)

Nerd art for the win! 🤓 Remember my cat and Star Wars mash-up pieces? Just heard that all three sold at @400westrich ‘s Amazing Cat Show! Not only that, but my buddies sold their own nerdy mash-ups - one about Aliens, and one of a cat-like Pokémon 😂 (BTW - do you wish you’d snagged my Star Wars pieces? Never fear! You can still buy prints of all three on my Etsy page 😉 ) #watercolor #watercolour #asseenincolumbus #artmakescbus #cbusmakesart #starwars #starwarsart #princessleia #darthvader #millenniumfalcon #hansolo #chewbacca (at 400 West Rich)

Thankful shout-out to my marvelous grandmother - I just cashed in a Xmas gift card from her for a handful of new watercolor paints from my favorite maker, @danielsmithartistsmaterials 😍 #watercolor #watercolour #wip #asseenincolumbus #cbusmakesart #artmakescbus (at Blick Art Materials)

Starting a big new colorful piece, filled with succulents and painted with delicious #danielsmith #luminescent #watercolors . I wish I could really show you how it shimmers! ✨ 🌟 #cbusmakesart #artmakescbus #wip (at Columbus, Ohio)

This blurry picture doesn’t look like much, but this was an intense moment for me Friday night at @thevanderelliroom ‘s powerful “Outsiders” Show about mental health (curated by the talented Amanda K @artbyanxiety). This picture is a stranger carefully viewing the most raw and personal piece I’ve ever exhibited - it’s titled “Things My Ex Really Said”, and is the first piece I’ve made about my divorce. It was an honor to be a part of such a meaningful show. The exhibit will be up for another couple of weeks - make sure you make time to go see it #artmakescbus #cbusmakesart #asseenincolumbus #latergram #thevanderelliroom #galleryart (at The Vanderelli Room)

When my most intricate pieces take FOR-EV-ER I like to look back and remind myself I have made progress and that it will be worth it (BTW this is +20 hours in on this piece 😳) #watercolor #watercolour #artistsoninstagram #artmakescbus #cbusmakesart #orange #roses #wip (at Columbus, Ohio)
