Loving Nature and making art using text, images, and stuff that’s handy. Likely to cross-pollinate my digital projects here and read your stuff too.

- Sun Sign Democracy Markup on photo ©️ 2025 EM Matteson I see things in nature, and I see even more when I draw. I’m not alone in this kind of creative process — meaning reveals itself in the making, then I’m left with something I find beautiful and interesting. @bsky.art @thelouvreof.bsky.social
- “Prostration Basin” Phone markup on photo of a rock that reminded me of a birdbath on my grandfather’s property. C 2025 EM Matteson #symbolwork #digitalart @bsky.art
- It’s been a minute since I posted. This piece is about sleep and CVS @bsky.art #art #digitalart #cvs #rhodeisland #abstractart #artcollector #pharmacyart
- Springtime #SymbolWorks This series is comprised of phone markup (like finger-painting) on photos from my day. ‘Obscure & Circle’ ‘Bark Hat’ #artoftgeday @bsky.art #art #artist #artcollector #artgallery #abstractart #moma @nhm.org
- “Bus Trip Kiss” #SymbolWork by E Mullen Matteson, digital markup on iPhone photo @bsky.art #artist #artcollector #art #artoftheday
- I’ve been trying to be nice, but this is called “he stole my initials and wants to send pussies to space” #artoftoday #symbolwork
- S is for Shark. I’m prepping 26 digital tiles for to submit to an upcoming gallery show. This is probably going to be s, but there are otherS #artoftheday #art #artist #shark #rock #room #alphabet #conceptart #symbolworks

- SymbolWork inspired by the birth of a star 📸: NASA with Phone Markup. Beginning to reclaim the alphabet, again. #symbolwork #artoftoday #astronomy #symbols #nasa #hubble #hh30
- Two recent pieces made by digital finger painting on phone snapshots. #artist #art #resist #makethings #makestuff #consumeless
- Favorite ways my tax dollars can be spent: food, shelter, health care, opportunity, public institutions, art and education for human beings. Least favorite ways: tech efficiencies that harm the above for sake of rich guys’ fever dreams and resource hoarding. How about you? 🍂#myfavoritethings
- Why not to Obey In Advance? If you do things like send your weekly tasks to HR because Elon asked you to, they get to gauge the number of compliant ppl which emboldens this #Whitehouse more. Don’t comply with BS “orders” and hold the line against unconstitutional edicts. It’s a numbers game. #leaves
- “Leaves Until He Leaves” SymbolWork made with phone markup tools on a phone. This is my protest against the current regime: 🍂leaves🍃. Leave. Leave. Leave. I’ll be asking nature to participate and support the work. Non-violent, non-deniable: I want him gone. #resist #protestart #leave🍁 #leaving
- Just a collage, because this is about as cogent as I can be given the circumstances. #resist
- What does my 15 year old do to #resist at the bookstore? Yeah, I’m a proud mama.
- “Mustache | Shuttles” Drawing on iPhone photo of loom shuttles. #SymbolWork #DigitalArt
- 200k tax-paying, ordinary people’s lives disrupted. communities hurting. Govt workers are our neighbors, our friends, our customers, our family. they worked FOR our best interests- not profit. Efficiency is an inferior value if u care about humanity. This is not democracy, this is destruction.
- Reposted by Elizabeth Mullen Matteson (Emwe Art + Mommess)Just realized it's been probably two weeks since I've referred to Trump as a convicted felon or court-declared sexual assaulter. So much to remember!
- Defend Institutions — they were made by US to move slowly and withstand the capricious. Ty @timothysnyder.bsky.social & @altnps.bsky.social
- Three recent #SymbolWorks made w/phone markup tools, a finger, & nature photos on an outdated iphone, more: www.instagram.com/emwe_art #resist
- Maybe a better question is “why bother to comply?” If you give this Repub Admin an inch, they take a mile. And your org will likely get defunded anyway- because the exec orders are a money&power grab above all else. #resist and slow the GOP from destroying its next target. #donotobeyinadvance
- Reposted by Elizabeth Mullen Matteson (Emwe Art + Mommess)When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
- Yes! Block, Obstruct and STOP this insane Republican Administration!! They are so cavalier with citizens’ private data - basically selling out to the richest man in the world. #resist Thank you @altnps.bsky.social ❤️
- Way to attribute destructive & chaotic gov’t actions: “By the Republican Administration” This is brilliant way to avoid feeding egomaniacs, AND could differentiate/motivate non-complicit GOP to act. #pastedfromanotherpage #talkingpoints
- “Taking Totem | Shield” Yesterday’s finger painting using only iPhone photo makeup tools. More on www.instagram.com/emwe_art
- Reposted by Elizabeth Mullen Matteson (Emwe Art + Mommess)With all the chaos in the world this burrowing owl finds their daily yoga practice really helps them get through the day. What's getting you through the day? #owls #birds #canada #nature #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #birding #nikon #photographersunited #bird #yoga
- Let's clarify: Running the government like a business usually means only the top-line folks benefit. Federal jobs, and social spending benefit people in your community, not oligarchs. #JustSayin #LiberalsLastLonger #NotEvenAGoodBusinessman #ProtectInstitutions #StopGrift
