A page from the sketch book with two drawings I’m hoping to paint within the next few months.
In Red
My mother bought me this skull piece for birthday back in October. Not sure what it’s made of but it’s heavy and took the paint well. I had no ideas beyond wanting a bold color for this spot on top of my piano. Finished it with a gloss. I think it turned out cute.
Secret Garden 2- Coffee Filter Art
Another round of coffee filter flowers I’ve put together over the past few months.
Hearts For Hanging On
Poster print : https://www.zazzle.com/hearts_for_hanging_on_poster-228549053157136402
Painted on a piece of plywood for outdoor art in the backyard. It’s an image to express the weight of love / our reasons to keep living.
True Reveal
I haven’t painted like this in a while. I have a place… https://allysonmarie.bandcamp.com/album/promised-hurt
Promised Hurt – New Album
New release. These are songs written from 2020 – 2021 I gave extra care to and I’m happy with what I was able to do and learn given the times. The work was everything to me. On streaming & Bandcamp : https://allysonmarie.bandcamp.com/album/promised-hurt
Secret Garden – Coffee filter flowers
I’ve been experimenting. These are repurposed coffee filters I colored with watercolor markers and folded into flowers. Each one turns out differently and I love the surprise.
Internalize
Spray painted, blended background. Freehand abstract design. Painted on a side of an old cardboard box I broke down. Maybe one day I won’t feel like buying canvas to paint on is an excess I can’t afford.

Anchorless
Several months old, but as usual, working on it helped me feel less anchor-less for a spell. That was nice.
That Be the Day
As Black History month comes to a close, I’m sharing a song written during the BLM protests in 2020. When I think about my family history, I’m reminded how I can only trace back so far and how I’ll never know exactly where my ancestors came from, all those unanswerable questions. I often feel like a black speck in the milk, out of place and rootless trying to navigate this unwelcoming society. But mostly this song is a response to those who don’t want people who look like me here. Guitar & voice. Also on streaming services.
