Description: This is the Queen of Broken Hearts, showing you grow through what you go through. She is a mix of power, grace, and resilience.

Description: These painted cats are a mix of fine art and digital. Aren't they cute!?

Description: I'm not a napper, but I do love to dream.

Description: Be sassy. That is all lol.

Description: Laurie Horn inspired this piece. Her bold color choices and use of patterns always encourage me to feature the same in my work.

Description: I speak to the world through my art. I love being able to "say" what I need to say through symbolism when words fail and enjoy hiding in plain sight.

Description: I have always had this idea in my head that if I had a world of my own, it would be a floating Island. It would be constantly adventuring, built on a ring of hope. It would be as large as my dreams then small enough to decorate my finger. Ever-changing. Like me.

Description: If your world was nestled on an island of its own, what would it look like? Who would live there? This is one of many of my floating island worlds.

Description: Hello! My name is Autumn, the artist behind Works of Autumn. Rep my brand and be creative!

Description: The term "road trip" can instill dread or excitement depending on who you are planning to travel with. Some of my favorite moments are when I would stare out the window, listen to music, and plan out the music video that should be going along with the vibes. Whether the moon or the sun was high in the sky, it would be a good drive.

Description: Boundaries are important. Physical, emotional, but especially mental. It’s easier to distance physically than emotionally or mentally. However, once we learn to set #boundaries within ourselves (ex: deciding whose opinions matter to us or don’t, who to give more of our energy to or not, etc) we will be able to float along a little more peacefully in this world.

Description: I have participated in Inktober for the last several years! This design was the first of my 2021 series using prompts I created myself shared on Instagram for others to create as well. I love seeing everyone’s unique creative ideas and styles. It’s full of possibility and freedom!

Description: I used a pattern from a fine art piece I had to create digitally. I love meshing the two worlds together.

Description: This shirt basically says you rock without actually saying you rock :)

Description: These balloons are created using a piece of art I refer to as "My Beautiful Mess" (worksofautumn.com). Life's a party and we can cry if we want to haha.

Description: Inktober 2021 brought this piece into my life. I love the smells and tastes of fall and crisp juicy apples are at the core of it ;)

Description: I almost completely ruined this one. Even tho it’s not what I wanted it to look like in the end, I’m not mad at the final result! A good lesson in not giving up on yourself too quickly. Reframing your situation is a great habit to try and cultivate- in life and in art! happy accidents.

Description: I love Alice. Wouldn't sleeping in a rose be the softest most comfortable experience ever?

Description: Enjoy this one-line drawing :) it’s a great challenge for learning to embrace your mistakes and go with the flow.

Description: This adorable hedgehog is one of my 31 Inktober designs. I drew from children's book illustrators to capture an adorable flash of whimsy.

Description: This is how I want all of my dreams to be. I want to be floating, peaceful, whimsical, and light.

Description: I have always wished I could fly. Something about the lightness, the wind in my hair, looking down on all my problems, so small in comparison to my joys. Inspiration: Hulya Ozdemir

Description: Write a love note to your future self. Tell them how much you hope to one day meet and fall in love. Maybe just within the next few moments, you can begin to work on that relationship and give yourself more grace.

Description: She had stars in her eyes and galaxies in her mind. The expanse of her dreams ever-changing. -AM

Description: This ones just for smiles and giggles :)

Description: This piece was a practice in being inspired by other artists that I love. Inktober 2021 allowed a lot of moments to be creative. Inspired: The Kiss- Gustav Klimt

Description: I love being awake very early in the morning or very late at night when the world is still sleeping. It makes me feel thankful for the ability to be such a small part of such a vast universe.

Description: What flavor would your gumball acorn be? Mine would be one of those giant sour raspberry ones that change your entire mouth blue! Relatable?

Description: What’s your favorite sweet and salty snack food? My favorite junk food combination recently has been chocolate popsicles and potato chips.
