This lion went from a flower girl to a giraffe before evolving into a winged lion. Most of my paintings on paper are very quick, so they don’t have a lot of layers. But this piece I...

2013, for me, was all about making room. I cleared space to be sure I had the time and inspiration to continue the creative projects my soul aches to put out into the world. That means, I’m spending the next few months in the sunshine, writing and painting and seeing what flows from this creative sabbatical (you can always check out my instagram for updates,...
