Lost Doodles of Instagram
I began the Plum Doodles Project around 2023 – I am not sure of the exact date. The doodle project was/is a response to the deep slowdown in art making that I experienced while caregiving for my mom. I’m still not up to speed with art making – but tiny steps, tiny blocks – slowly building.
The following doodles are from an instagram that no longer exists. Before shutting that account – I saved the images.
I hope whatever you feel moved to do, you do – even if you can only spend a minute a day doing it. Over the days, the work grows.

I often use scribbles as the genesis for paintings. These squiggles carry energy for me, and on their own, they tell a story. I call them plums because they are little treats for my imagination. I will continue adding to this project until I have reached 10,000 drawings.
John S. Hall’s 10,000 Poems Project inspired me – but rather than writing – I decided to collect my drawings. Sometimes I write when I doodle, and sometimes I share the writing as well.
