If you’re in Santa Cruz over the next two months stop by to check out this exhibit at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History. I’ll have a piece on display alongside tons of other science and nature artists from the area.

A limited run of these color art prints of the Intertidal Seaweed Co. kombu and wakame designs will be available soon at their stand at the Fort Mason farmer’s market and website. I loved working on this project with Tessa and am happy these will be out there soon, alongside their yummy and sustainable seaweed. (Thanks to John @thegreathighway for printing!)

I’m excited to be a part of this exhibit in Santa Cruz, opening March 11. I’ll also be at the Makers Market on April 29. Cruise through if you’re in the area!

I started this phase of being an artist over 10 years ago when I decided to paint an annual holiday card for friends and family. I lost my Mom just before the holidays last year, and just didn’t have it in me. A year plus later, it’s nice to be getting my mojo back. Wishing everyone a little extra beauty this season.
