Ruby Pins and Buttons
Description: Celebrate timeless Black romance with this "Be My Ruby My Ossie" retro art. Inspired by iconic classic cinema and modern love, this piece brings warm vintage vibes to any space. A meaningful Christmas, anniversary, or holiday gift for parents, partners, and lovers of classic Black culture.
Description: I’m drawn to gothic art that feels symbolic instead of generic, and this caged ruby heart hits that mood hard: a faceted crimson heart locked inside an iron cage, watched by black ravens and framed by cathedral spires, chains, storm clouds, and pale birds in flight. It has a dark-romantic, dark-academia feel without relying on text, so the imagery does the storytelling. A strong gift for raven lovers, gothic art fans, dark fantasy readers, and anyone who connects with themes of guarded love, heartbreak, or beautiful captivity. Follow for more original gothic designs.
Description: Ruby-crowned Kinglets are olive-green birds with a prominent white eyering and white wingbar. This wingbar contrasts with an adjacent blackish bar in the wing. This illustration was made with alcohol ink markers and colored pencil. It was made after watching someone bird band a Ruby Crowned Kinglet.

She also portrayed Kate Kane/Batwoman in the Arrowverse, including season one of Batwoman.
Description: This comes from a photo I had taken in the backyard a few years back. As I was deciding on which image to select for processing it became clear that “The Hummingbird of Color” was going to be the chosen one and got its chance to begin its transformation and now gets a chance to get out of the file folders and shine for all to see. A stained-glass effect developed through the vector art building process. I wanted a bright, playful stop-motion image of a flying hummingbird to highlight the wings in color and have the bright throat of the bird shine.
