BeeTenderly Studio
BeeTenderly Studio is an emerging small art business based in Washington State where I make watercolor, ink, and fiber art as well as prints and stickers. My work focuses on nature, motherhood, and the complex relationship between our shadows and our hope. I release new collections or pieces into existing collections a few times a year on this website and sell my work in-person at local art events.

You might love my fine art if…
You want the artwork in your home to start a conversation that goes past surface-level into soulful and vulnerable territory.
You are inspired by the natural world, from its beautiful to its creepy parts.
You are drawn to explore and understand the full range of the human experience, including emotions and experiences that others consider negative or taboo.
You are a little bit freaked out about AI and want to purchase art that you are sure sure was made by a human being.
About the artist
I am an emerging painter, lifelong poet, and transplant to the Yakima Valley since 2011. Raised by a creek in the rolling hills of northern Delaware, I’m also a stan for our deep interconnectedness with the natural world and the sacredness of our psychological wounds.
My work explores the complicated relationship between our shadows and our hope and is influenced by my experience as a mother; my educational background in plant and insect biology; my participation and apprenticeship in community grief ritual and matriarchal, earth-based spirituality; my deep love of beauty; and my experience of childhood emotional abuse and neglect. My work weaves together affirmations, limiting beliefs, color, ink, nature imagery, abstract forms, neurographic lines, and runny paint cascading down the paper like teardrops. Each piece is created through a process of transformation – some more intellectual and some more expressive – that ultimately aims to find hope and resolve within the tumult and heartbreak of these unprecedented times.
Below is a list of exhibits that have shown my work, which I update as I participate in new shows:
Group exhibit (2 pieces), “Images of the Shrub Steppe", September 2026, Boxx Gallery, Tieton WA
Solo exhibit, “Grief and Other Gifts”, March - May 2026 at Yakima Healing Arts, Yakima WA
My hope is that this work connects with you, and that it inspires you to connect to your unique gifts and story.
