Still messing around with my layout plans & waiting on some solids to come in but this is the base of my @alisonglass #trinketSAL fabric pull. . 💎💛🍊I’ve got a specific narrative theme in mind and the more I think about it the happier I am about this pull. These colors feel like my childhood in Florida... . . . .

Went spelunking in my camera roll earlier today to find examples of past work for a client’s custom request & found this picture— I’d completely forgotten about this series of pieces I did a couple few years ago. And now I’m re-obsessed with this? I loved the idea of taking quilting out of utilitarian and into elevated wall art... which then (to me) reminds the viewer yeah, hi, that blanket on your lap? THAT’S ART, my friend. . Ugh, I love quilts so much. . Anyway... if you suddenly see these pieces pop up in my shop, it’s because I’m elbows deep in “desk art” and getting nostalgic for “couch art” 😂 (I love my couch). . . ICYMI— I’m gonna have a little sake today in my stories (Venmo/PayPal only) to find some older original art some new homes. Starts at 3:30 est! Check it out if you want ❤️. . . . . . . #modernquilting#mightypigeonart#quilt#wallhanging#fiberart#red#geometric#modernart#jnstaart#artdaily#fiberartist#abmlifeiscolorful#abmlifeiscolourful#colour#colorpop#embroidery#design#homedecor
hello world! jumping on the #artvsartist train and thought I’d use it as a time to show my face (🙃) and a few of the highlights of my portfolio this past year. . If we haven’t formally met, hi! My name is Danamarie (she/her) and I’m here to live my life fully & beautifully. I make art that celebrates humanity in all her colorful, diverse and life affirming splendor. If something I’ve drawn or painted or sewn slows you down, creates an opportunity for learning, reminds you of your worth, supports or embraces you, makes you smile or makes you feel seen, I’ve done my job. . 🌸I’m a children’s illustrator, muralist, doll maker & quilter. . 💗 I’m originally from Miami, Florida (which... is still very weird to me. But it’s made me an orange juice snob so that’s cool.) . 🎈I’m a homeschooling mom to two very cool little people. Occasionally we collaborate on art I share here. . 🖍 I work mostly digitally these days because I’ve got a chronic pain condition that makes sitting at a desk or working in a single specific posture difficult & my iPad is my best friend then. . 🎀 I’ve had anxiety my entire life & every day I learn a new way to move through the world with it. I’m better and better every day. . 💗I live in Baltimore, but I’m still an Annual Passholder at Disney World because you can take the girl outta Florida but... . 🌺I used to have a pet pigeon, a rescue named #annabatesthepigeon . 🌷I turned 40 in December and it was amaaaaazing (bc I finally learned how to prioritize what I gave my time and energy too... and oh look! I was letting people who didn’t matter occupy far too much space in my brain 🙌🏼.) . 💕 I’m an artist full time and have been since I graduated in 2000. If you like what I do, you can find links to purchase prints and other merch in the linktree in my bio. You can also support my work on Patreon or buying me a coffee via ko-fi. I’m also available for custom work (currently holding a waitlist though!) . 💝This list is v random & my foot is falling asleep and I’m scared I’m about to run out of characters so maybe I’ll end here? . Thank you for following me & all of your likes and comments. You’re my favorite. ❤ . #artvsartist2019

looked down from my “guilty pleasure” sewing a bit ago and thought: . 💭 “this looks like how I feel right now” . And that’s pretty great ❤️ . . . Headed to my studio in a bit to put in some time on pet portraits!

🎉I’m back in my studio! 🎉 Ah, vacation was incredible and I can’t pretend the past couple weeks of homebody slothing weren’t p great in their own rights, but there’s nothing quite like a return to the studio. . I’ll be spending the day working on your pet & family commissions (& sharing wee peeks in my stories!) I really love working on these pieces and seeing all your photos and getting to “meet” you all. . Right now, my commission queue is full through JUNE 2019. *If* you are interested in a pet portrait or one of my #mpafamilyportraits like this one, AND you can wait until AUGUST for delivery, please email me and I’ll put you on the waitlist for the next round of listing purchases coming up later this month. . 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 . . . . . . . #drawing#portraits#illustration#mightypigeonart#cat#catlady#catmom#familyportraits#digitalillustration#art#instaart#artstar#dailyillustration#illustrationdaily#procreate#procreateapp#peach#pink#cute#womenwhoillustrate#womenwhodraw#visiblewomen#artlife
This time last year we were a few days into our Black History Month celebration & extended curriculum (Black history is American history after all, and February alone does not a true education make...) and working on a daily research project with my homeschooled kiddo. What started as a conversation about unsung heroes (thank you Hidden Figures), turned into a deeper conversation about the contributions of marginalized communities to our society. As a science obsessed kid, they were particularly interested in exploring the contributions of Black women to STEM fields... so, over the course of the month, we researched (& I illustrated) over 30 incredible women. I ended up editing & elaborating on the posts, cleaning up the images, adding a couple biographies that didn’t make it onto my IG grid and making a 48 page zine (check out my “HERstory” story highlights!) & selling that zine to raise money for Black Girls Code. . Those zines are back in stock, with $5 from every sale going to Black Girls Code (the rest covers my printing costs) ✨PLUS✨ every order (of anything) all month long & beyond, while supplies last, will ship with a biography sheet (a page from the zine) for one of these incredible visionaries. . Here’s just 10 of them— you can check out the original posts at #mightypigeonartblackhistorymonth (and I will re-share the rest throughout the month too!) Special shout out to Rosa Parks, whose 106th birthday is today. . . . . . . #STEM#Blackhistorymonth#womeninillustration#womenwhoillustrate#blackhistory#representationmatters#blackhistorymatters#womeninstem#blackwomeninstem#blackhistoryisamericanhistory
