Something to make you smile on this Wednesday 🦝

Another Chicago local in my newest painting! Titled “Sweet Tooth”, I imagine this lil raccoon is enjoying a birthday cake donut from (bc their donuts are the absolute best!)

When I was searching for reference images of how raccoons hold their food I encountered mostly AI slop… however luckily there were a few backyard videos people had posted and they are SO cute! Highly recommend watching raccoons eating with their very dexterous hands ❤️

“Sweet Tooth” is available now as fine art prints and the one-of-one on canvas 🦝❤️🍩

Be a rebel and remember to shop small this season!
The billionaires and corporations have certainly gotten enough support this year (as they do basically every year 😅)

Now through Sunday 11/30 use code: shopsmall20 to save 20% on everything on my website! Treat yourself (or someone on your list) to some fun art. Because let’s face it, who doesn’t want something lovely and/or ridiculous to look at on their walls ❤️🎨

Have you been to Lao Peng You and experienced their amazing noodles and dumplings??

This neighborhood treasure is one of our faves and this month we were over the moon when they added a seasonal vegan dumpling (pumpkin and pea tips!) So much so, that I decided to paint this comfort in a bowl 🤗

Enjoy my latest painting titled “Take Care” and get over to Lao Peng You as soon as you can!

Just a girl hanging out with her art ❤️

If you’re new here, my name is Kara and I am a Chicago artist and photographer 👋 From a young age I loved to draw, paint, and take pictures. That evolved into painting in acrylic, photographing weddings for 12 years, and now painting digitally 🎨

Digital art is a broad category. For my work, I am drawing and painting by hand on my Wacom display, layer by layer as I would on canvas. My art has become highly detailed, and for better or worse painting digitally satisfies my Virgo preferences for cleanliness and not wasting materials 😂 My average time per painting is 40 hours so I spend a lot of time in my studio/office drinking tea and listening to music, as little by little it all comes together.
Each painting takes its physical form as archival prints and on archival canvas as a one-of-one original.

My work mainly focuses on relationships between humans and other species as well as environmental impacts. Both local themes in Chicago and around the globe.

I hope you enjoy! Check out my work and current/upcoming events and exhibitions in my bio 🙌

Let’s be honest, tea is a religion ☕️

Unapologetically drinking a British amount of tea and being myself ❤️ Can you relate?

My newest painting has been swirling around in my head for a while. I originally imagined a very intricate teacup on a saucer, but then I realized my favorite mug would be better! A modern take on a tribute to one of the greatest beverages. Swipe to see some progress pictures than make yourself a cuppa ❤️
