One of my favorite things about social media is being able to watch an artist blossom and discover their voice. Maybe you recognize the name of today’s artist, perhaps better known as the founder and editor of the amazing design blog, DesignMilk, artist-blogger-poet(!), Jaime Derringer.

Why Can’t I Be You?, mixed media on wood panel, 8×8
I wasn’t aware of the scope of Jaime’s artistic talent until she began posting her A Shape A Day project on Instagram. Immediately, I was like, “Hold the phone! She’s an artist, too??” The short answer? Yes.

Smoke Monster, ink, marker and acrylic on heavy canvas paper, 16×12
For Jaime, her work is an exploration and escape. Perusing her work, you can see the progression, the playing with style, medium and composition that marks each creative expedition.

With each journey, the artist is discovering her own uncharted territory and finding new paths. Personally, I’m enjoying being along for the ride.
