Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, March 2025
For the April 2025 color in focus: Magenta. This color was so nice for a little heart and I thought having two lovebirds kissing with their face colors forming the heart would just be too cute! Watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, April 2025	For the April 2025 color in focus: Magenta.

This will be added to the Bugnanza sticker packs! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, May 2025	For the May 2025 color in focus: Salish Sea. The color for this month reminded me of an ice cream I used to eat with my mom when I was little. It was bright teal and dinosaur branded. I remember it as having dinosaur shaped chocolate bits in it, but that may just be memory. Watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, May 2025	For the May/June color in focus: Salish Sea. This color was such a great one for underwater and I had the perfect photo to use it for. This is a photo of a river otter I took at the Alaska Zoo and has always been one of my favorites.

This was such a good color for an eggplant and a good excuse to work on more water droplets, which I still find difficult. I think this one will be a fun companion sticker and emote to my pickle done in a previous month. Watercolor, 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, July 2025	For Art Fight 2025: Prickly Phone Call.

Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, August 2025	For the August 2025 Color in Focus: Butter. A bug for my Bugnanza Sticker Collection! The pale tussock caterpillar has a very striking series of tufts on its back that are very reminiscent of a mohawk so I decided to make this one punk - with a little vest and doc martins! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, August 2025
For the August 2025 Color in Focus: Butter. Joining my Bugnanza sticker pack project is the booklouse! So named because they feed on the binding glue, but this one prefers to read, rather than eat, the books.

We both painted an image off of the same reference of a raspberry.

Watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, August 2025

Watercolor and gouache on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, August 2025	A sticker design I've had cooking in the back of my mind for a while. The three boba flavors are based off of what me, my boyfriend, and his daughter tend to order. Ink and watercolor on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper.	For the September 2025 Color in Focus: Rich Green Gold. Such a great color as a base for all these bugs! I had to get one of my personal faves the banana of the pacific northwest in here! Love a banana slug! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, September 2025
For the September 2025 Color in Focus: Rich Green Gold. Bagworms are known for their unique style of collecting cocoon materials which end up looking like a little stacked log cabin on their back - very reminiscent of a Baba Yaga house but with bug legs instead of chicken legs! Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, September 2025	For the September 2025 Color in Focus: Rich Green Gold. You ever been rizzed by a stickbug? Would you like to?

Watercolor and ink on 140lb coldpress watercolor paper, September 2025
