I am so grateful for my patient clients and collaborators!

After mastectomy and reconstruction, I have more energy, but wake up with muscle contractions that shoot down my arms and through my fingers. I clench, then extend, and clench again my digits... (cont.)

After a #BRCA1 prophylactic #mastectomy and 2 weeks recovery, I'm on to a DIEP flap reconstruction.

They'll reconstruct my breasts using tissue and blood vessels from my abdomen. I'm a little nervous but also excited, this marks the beginning of a much lower cancer-risk life!

Giant shield bug (Tessaratomidae sp.)

Sometimes I see a picture of an insect (or if I'm luck in real life) and say, "I must paint you!"

Lewis's moon snail (Neverita lewissi)

A very cool marine #snail from the PNW. I found many of their shells and strange egg-cases on the beaches of my childhood.

Roughsnout ghost pipefish (Solenostomus paegnius)

My recent weekend hobby has been doing the dead-man float over seagrass beds looking for pipefish. But I never find them...

Hellllllo #portfolioday! Already?

I'm a #medart and #sciart illlustrator, and here are some of my realistic animal portraits!

I've been posting animals so long, sometimes I forget to show my #medart. Much of the work I do is medical, but often there's a lag in publication before I post it...

Here's some semi-recent #cardiac work for some fantastic USC surgeons!

Far eastern curlew (Numenius madagascariensis)

This beautiful endangered migrant flies Mongolia/Siberia to Australia, where its numbers have declined by 80% in the past 30 years. 😥

#kidlitpostcard day! I'm an author/illustrator of fiction and nonfiction, especially dealing with science and nature themes. I'm a science and medical artist by day. 🙂
