I'm an oil painter/illustrator/cat mom living in Seattle. I am in love with oil painting, but I also dabble in drawing, watercolor, colored pencil, and always looking to learn new mediums! I post my painting and illustration time lapses, art tutorials for beginners (including oil painting techniques, drawing techniques, and art career advice), and various artist studio vlogs for your enjoyment. ❤️
