Anything can be transformed into art! This was just a scrap of file folder I used to mop up some excess paint. I loved the patterns in the paint and had it hanging around on my desk. Today, I added a hand drawn zebra print style pattern to finish the piece.
Branching out into traditional art! I’ve always loved acrylic pours but wanted a method with less paint waste. This one uses two papers pressed together with paint between them—surprisingly, each piece turns out different! More details soon. Video coming!

A little digital art recycling! I took some images I made that I wasn’t happy with and turned them into Kaleidoscopic mandalas. #patterndesigner #surfacepatterndesigner
Happy New Year! I worked on this over the holidays. I had so much fun with it! A classic vintage vibe with a slight futuristic twist.
It’s a digital collage made of many different elements created separately with AI. The design of the piece and layout of the individual elements is entirely my own.
The background is made of two different patterns representing past and future. I put the combined images through the Decim8 app to create an abstract blend of them both.
Inspired by the winter solstice! This piece began with a round fantasy calendar made with AI, which I heavily altered to create a unique pattern for the background. I then brought the design into Procreate, adding layers of color and incorporating snowflakes made with a custom brush. Finally, I added a hand-drawn leaf, using a reference for accuracy. My goal was to capture the transition between winter and spring—and beyond that, the shift between the old and the new. A fitting theme as we approach the new year!
The doodle on the left came up in my Facebook memories today. The old one was done with a mouse on a computer using my old copy of Photoshop. The new one was done on my phone in Procreate with a stylus. It’s always interesting to look back on your old work. I can see the improvement. Anything creative is an ongoing and ever evolving process!
An abstract pattern design that came about from lots of experimentation with decim8 and a few other apps to bring everything together. It’s a great way to explore geometric patterns.
One of the most beautiful pieces in my crystal collection. An agate slice with dendritic inclusions! Nature is an artist! It’s inspired me to focus more on working with natural stone and crystal patterns in my own art.
