| in sight. prints and the original available in my etsy shop. |
i love painting so much! watching this video of my piece, in sight, brings such joy because i can see just how many layers went into this painting. i remember so many times along the way where i thought, “i am never going to figure this out.” but in recording my painting process from start to finish, i’ve learned that i always do.
and, as long as i keep having fun with a painting and walk away whenever i’m not, i always discover something new. that’s the most fun part of it all for me…the process. i delight in seeing a painting reveal itself right before my eyes!
still, i have to say, i do get frustrated at times. that’s why i developed simple templates for myself…guidelines and shapes that i follow, especially when i get frustrated with a piece, to bring me back to that point of having fun again.

A few years ago, I wrote a novel about a magical world. I was one of 14 writers accepted into a 6 week writing workshop on the east coast. And when I finished my novel, I flew out to Washington DC to meet with my ideal literary agent. But then I got super scared and burned out. Because of that burn-out, I needed to heal...

I used to be afraid to raise my hand in class. I’d learned that my ways of thinking and seeing were different from everyone else. When I shared an idea, I was often laughed at or told it was impossible. So I learned to stay quiet and be shy. When I was in the third grade we had an art project where we were supposed...

Lately I’ve been going back to painting owls. For awhile I had been creating these very renaissance-style portraits with soft, realistic faces and incredible hair. I enjoyed that I could make them look very human, but still full of magic and color. While I still adore creating these flower girls, I found that these paintings were missing something. After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading

Your girl is lovely, so is your owl calendar and I look forward to coming back to watch your video on my iPad when I can get back in my studio. So glad to read that you have found a way to get yourself back to that place of “play”; so very crucial. Keep up the great work.
