Thanks! Yep. I made them.
Happy March! I'm doing a pre-spring sale of my floral paintings at Etsy. Between today and March 20, get 25% off my Impressionist gardens in oil and select acrylic works that suggest the coming season. If you miss your garden as much as I do, these will help! 🌸 sheilasquillanteart.etsy.com
Oh gosh thank you!

An unexpected garden showed up on the first snowy day of the year. Oil and cold wax on paper.
This is an expensive time & the holidays are almost here. Let me help make your gift giving a little easier on the budget. Accepting pretty much ANY offer on these small watercolor & ink paintings. You pay domestic shipping or I deliver if local.DM with interest. Thanks!
I spent all morning updating my Etsy store—a hated task because it’s so tedious! But, now there are lots of new shiny listings and most are $200 or less if you’re looking for unique holiday gifts. Thanks for having a look! sheilasquillanteart.etsy.com
Holidays are approaching & it seems like a good time to remind folks that I make & sell visual art! If you see something you like & it’s more than you want to spend, get in touch. I want you to have it so let’s find a way! Here’s a new one, & more here: sheilasquillante.com/original-abs...
It’s been some time since I’ve had a new poem out. This is a long one—a 10 part crown of not-sonnets that grapples with marriage, parenthood, aging, and climate tragedy.

Abstract painting in aqua, fluorescent orange and dark blue.
A small piece in a new series called “Some Things Make Their Own Light.” Using a fluorescent underpainting that makes it look like it’s glowing from inside.
So honored to be the featured visual artist in the new issue of Asterales!
It’s a gorgeous issue and i’m so happy to be part of it!
I’m over the moon to have my art grace the cover of one of our best literary magazines, Mid-American Review! Hope to one day have my writing appear there too. 🌸
Everything is terrible but I discovered this luscious iridescent graphite grey paint and am making stuff with it.
Everything is terrible but here is a weird goth bird I made. Let me know if you want her. Caw!
I had the chance to write up Chatham MFA’s residency experience at Fallingwater this summer for AWP. What a great time we had! www.awpwriter.org/AWP/Magazine...

3 new pieces in an older style. These are more minimalist in their markings. I like the open space of them and the chaotic surprise of ink. And here, a return to one of my favorite tools: the humble bamboo skewer.
Bleeding Heart
Thanks for sharing! Glad to be of use.
