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.

There’s a vampire on the loose in this remote town, just in time for spooky season! 🦇 Had a lot of fun bringing this to life in Procreate. After finishing the portrait, I wanted to give the background more depth with a mixed media approach—layered paint, faux newspaper, custom stamp brushes, and my handwriting all tied together to tell a story.
For transparency, I used AI to create the reference image for the portrait, the newspaper background, and stamped elements, while the drawing and layout are entirely my own.
Hope it gives off the right eerie vibes! 🖤 #SpookyArt #VampirePortrait #ProcreateArt #MixedMediaArt #HalloweenArt #Spooky #Vampire #Halloween

The background was made in Procreate.
