Oil pastel drawing that I made of stars in a colorful night sky.

Wisteria carved block print. Gold ink on toned tan paper. I made this for my friend’s wedding invites.

I drew this coloring page and colored it in digitally. I used a new brush which gave it a fun texture.

Needle felted eggs and egg earrings I made from merino wool roving. I wanted to experiment with making needle felted jewelry as well as matching accessories. Edit:spelling

A light blue digital drawing I made based on a poster for a project. The exercise was to listen to a genre of music and doodle based on that.

I made this in my printmaking class during university. I experimented with leaving the noise in the background and I think it really added to this piece. I think I might revamp this design in soft carve rubber for a new stamp. I also want to start working on prints with more detailed backgrounds so I may have to combine the two 🌸

I experimented with using mixed media paper for some of my designs with heavier line work but ultimately the paper made the stamp glide too much and each one I tried left smudges or did not soak into the paper evenly. I think they have a unique look but I haven’t made more since. Has anyone tried any new paper lately? I’m always open to paper suggestions or new experimental techniques.

Mixed media collage made with magazines, stickers, washi tape and some paper.

Gummy bear that I painted with gouache on mixed media toned tan paper. Usually I prefer white paper but I decided to try something different.

Hot pepper made with oil pastels. Red pepper on a solid yellow background.

I had some colorful wool roving so I used it to make a few fruits. I also decided to make the seeds pink instead of yellow.

I had some inconsistencies in this print so I experimented with adding metallic watercolors to some places to make it a unique 1 of 1 print. I also printed it on toned tan paper, I think the inconsistency could have been solved if I would have used a little more ink.

Blackberries painted in gouache on toned tan mixed media paper. I sketched this in paint for an art challenge with the prompt “berry”. I like how the berries flow through the page.

Howdy Shrimp sketch I did for a stamp that I carved. I never showed off the sketch when I made it even though I loved how it turned out!

Ice cream scoop painting. I honestly don’t know what flavor the scoops are I just painted them that way because I liked how the colors looked together. I mixed red yellow and a little green to make the cone color and I like how you can still see some of the original colors that I mixed in there. This painting ewe from an art challenge I participated in where I painted every day for one month.

Needle felted strawberry felted with hand dyed merino wool. I added a jute twine hanger so I could make it an ornament!

Forest spells by e.Noel red ink on Bristol board.

I carved this a few years ago but still love how it turned out. Now I have better carving tools so if I made this again the lines would turn out cleaner.

I painted from my own reference photo as part of an art challenge and I still love the colors so much.
