Algorithm-Free Art (and an auction for 30 min!)
Hi! I’ve got 2 things for you today:
1) The July Patreon print. It’s only available as the Patreon reward. Join during July (that’s today!) if you’d like one.
2) I painted a large piece that I’m auctioning off for the Transgender Law Center! Bidding is open for 30 more minutes.
Algorithm-Free Art
Here’s some of the work I’ve shared since my last email. I’d like to make it easier to connect away from Instagram and the social media algorithms. If you know someone who’d like to see my art outside of the feed, feel free to forward this on to them!
JULY PATREON EXCLUSIVE (available to all who join before midnight)
What exactly is outside my comfort zone? My body says: Danger! Too muchness. The advice givers say: Everything good! You’re missing out and living small. My comfort zone is fairly small and tightly fenced. It’s kind of a big deal for me to get out of it. Recently I’ve made three big leaps over the boundary. Two of these things turned out to be not so scary once I was there and actually full of a new kind of joy. The other one turned out to be what I feared and worse, and knocked me down for quite a while.
My edges exist for a reason. There’s so much to appreciate in here, in the comfort zone, when we stop and take it in. Our ability to create safety. The feeling of rest and familiarity. The flow state of having our internal resources meet the demands of the moment.
I made this piece and wrote a bit more on the topic for my July Patrons. Join us before the end of the day if you’d like to support my work and get a copy of this one!

AUCTION FOR THE TRANSGENDER LAW CENTER (open until 10AM Pacific today)
I’m auctioning off this piece for the Transgender Law Center here in this Instagram post. The auction is open until 10AM Pacific, which is about 30 more minutes from when I’m sending this email! This is clearly going out later than I planned, but I am also very happy to announce that I slept in this morning for the first time in a while, which was wonderful and needed.
Anyway, if you’d like to bid, check it out here.

Thanks for reading and for your kindness and support. I love hearing from you- comments here make my day. And if you know someone who might enjoy receiving my art in their inbox, please feel free to share this email with them.
