“Auntie’s Donuts has one of the best processing systems of all pastry shops in the area, if not the entire state. You can trust that you’re buying quality donuts when you shop here, and that we give you our taste testing guarantee! Yes it’s normal if it looks like chunks are bitten out of each one, it’s what gives us our signature look!”

All in jest, but for a deeper look, this is the first piece in my Insectorvm series. This series honors INSECTORVM sive Minimorum Animalium Theatrvm, or Theatre of Insects by Thomas Moffett published in 1634. It has always been explained as an appreciative, colorful and descriptive ode to insects. I’m using a particularly light, twilightish pastel color scheme that reminds me of the delicate parts of summer color in the hours where insects present themselves to their most productive times, evening. I chose this color scheme with Thomas in mind, imagining him looking at insects in magical full and wondrous color like I do.


Aside from art, my main passion is animal rescue, and veterinary behavior cat consultation. I love to raise money and support the relationship between humans and their animals through art! For these lofi pieces, I pour myself some coffee, put on the tunes, and draw what I hear.
