12 smaller artworks I made for the grand opening of Julia West House in downtown Portland! These artworks were given to the guest speakers, some of the main team members and community leaders who helped make JWH come to life. ✨I am so honored to have been featured in their grand opening and to have created these mini-versions of my larger artwork, using the branding colors of JWH and the same textures and motifs as the COMMUNITY artwork!

The artworks are 12” x 12” each and were framed beautifully by (I didn’t get the chance to have them photographed when framed but they looked stunning!)

I had so much fun creating these mini fluffy framed works - maybe someday I’ll make a collection of 50 or so, is that something you’d be interested in? Leave a comment and tell me what you think 🤔

COMMUNITY, created for Julia West House, Portland, OR

I want to start this year’s posting off with some projects that I ended 2025 with!

This was a dream project for a brand new affordable housing community for houseless elders and BIPOC individuals in downtown Portland. It was so effortlessly fun to create! With the concept of Community, I hope that the piece inspires all who get to see it, because everyone deserves a place to call home and a supportive network around them.

It is also so incredible that this building is the TALLEST mass timber building in Oregon. 😱 So honored to be a part of it!

2025 was full of so much to be grateful for! I had the opportunity to be part of so many larger than life projects that continue to inspire what comes next. There were stretches of back to back madness, but it felt so good to be busy and making art for dream spaces.

I wasn’t the best at posting this year. For one, the algorithm and I weren’t exactly on great terms, and sharing only here and there didn’t always feel rewarding. I learned how to celebrate my achievements without the pressure of posting every moment. Behind the scenes, my personal life was just as full, a year of ups and downs, loss and growth, and I’m hoping that in 2026 I can find a way to share more in a way that feels authentic and sustainable, without burning myself out.

I’m so excited to finally be taking a real break this holiday season. I’ll be back soon to share whatever I’m working on next, and honestly, it feels really good not to be booked out with projects right now. 💫
