For so many years, I can hardly believe that I hid my creativity away and stopped painting. Now that I’ve been painting full-time for more than fifteen years, I do whatever it takes...

In case you missed my note last week, I’m planning an in-person painting retreat! A few years ago, I co-led a retreat in Port Townsend, Washington. One highlight was the final day’s painting showcase, where we admired everyone’s creations.

Today I want to share a bit more about my creative journey with you: my story and why I love to share all I learn, without holding anything back. This is Part 2 of the two-part series. Being that it’s one of the questions I’m asked most often, I thought I’d tell you how I got the courage to put my paintings out into the... Continue reading

When I first started painting again in 2008, I remember a time when I was so desperate to talk to a successful artist. I went to an event where I knew my favorite painter would be and asked her a ton of questions until she mentioned that she did creative coaching (I had no idea that was a thing at the time!). Now, as a... Continue reading

I thought I’d share a bit about my journey to becoming a full-time artist. This is Part 1 of the two-part series. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve been writing a fiction novel for the last fifteen years. Well, when I first started writing it, I wasn’t painting. I hadn’t painted in years. I locked that part of myself away. I was intent on becoming a published... Continue reading
