New beginnings

Hellooo to everyone who has made their way here! Whether you came from my new mailing list or from my Facebook page, let me fill you in.

Before I had even heard wind of a flip-your-life-upside-down-and-inside-out style solstice coming up (and apparently some Mercury in Gatorate action to boot) I had been feeling the need to take a kind of scary but meaningful action in my life.

Something I had toyed with the idea of for quite some time but never thought feasible was getting rid of instagram. An app I have shared my work and life on for over a decade, which has introduced me to so many wonderful friends, fans, and fellow artists began to hold me down instead of boost me up. Their algorithms became a bit less friendly to the kind of content I share and many new platforms started to spark my curiosity but with the amount I created and posted for instagram, I couldn’t find the time to explore them. And let’s face it, I had developed a scroll-finger likened to a brick foot on the gas pedal. I wanted to convert my anxiety/doom scrolling into productivity.

But how would I keep in touch with everyone, how would I keep making and selling my art?? I began to read articles and watch youtube videos from many artists who took the same social media plunge. It started to feel a little more hopeful of a venture, and I decided to put my trust in the ol’ fairyverse. I was met with tons of support and agreement, and I was so relieved and touched that so many people signed up for my e-mail list to keep seeing my art making journey. And my unsolicited foraged edible mushroom bounties of course.

That being said, WELCOMEEE to my blog!! Revisiting this page on my website made me realize how much updating I’ve neglected, so I am also currently adding my art from 2019-present in case you just want to go into browse mode and look at my big booty fairy folk friends and rainbow merms.

I look so forward to sharing more art and thoughts with you all, thank you for being here!! Be well and stay cool

XOXO Your fairy art mother, Nova <3
