TITLE: Summer and the Book Dress. Prints available in my etsy shop. In honor of my love for writing, I began painting these BOOK DRESS girls. I created this piece for a commissioned project and was just so excited with the way she turned out, I thought I’d share her with all of you too! I especially love how the entire scene continues around the... Continue reading
TITLE: Fresh From the Ocean. Prints available in my etsy shop. It’s always fun to see how a painting evolves. And this one I am especially happy with. I shared the beginning process with you last week, but I see now this piece was much less about the stenciling technique + all about the girl that was slowly emerging. Sure, she started with these antlers... Continue reading
TITLE: She Sings Like the Flowers. Prints available in my etsy shop. The other day I was talking with artist Jan Avellana over at Hazelnut Cottage and we got to discussing creativity and the courage it takes to really take chances. I’ve always been creating something, trying to find my niche, whether it was with clothes, writing, photography, floral design, whatever. But painting was the... Continue reading
TITLE: AND THE MUSIC SUITS HER This is my first piece for Louise’s Creative Color Challenge. This week’s color, if you couldn’t tell, is sunflower yellow. We could use shades of sunflower with black and white. And since I’m in the habit of doing mixed media paintings, I just had to incorporate some black and white sheet music. I also added layers of spray paint... Continue reading
TITLE: Sharing Her Heart She Healed. Prints available in my etsy shop. This painting evolved SO many times! She was always a bird, but she started with a brown and yellow head (rather realistic and unusual for me). Then the crown around her face happened and she seemed especially magical. I just had to layer on more color, so I went for blue (a color... Continue reading
TITLE: Strength in Curiosity. Prints available in my etsy shop. Have you ever felt like exploring something new or visiting somewhere totally unimaginable? I painted this new mixed media painting to express the freedom I feel when I follow these little whispers. And lately there have been a lot. Maybe that’s because I’ve finally slowed down a bit to enjoy the summer, but all of... Continue reading
TITLE: The World Inside Us. Prints available in my etsy shop. There’s this little baby bunny who made his home in my backyard and is teaching me to slow down and treat myself with grace. He has this spot right beside the patio. So when I work on my laptop outside most days, he’s there and I smile every time I see him! He reminds... Continue reading
TITLE: Beauty and Truth. Prints available in my etsy shop. I’ve been all about painting these birds and owls and trying out a ton of new techniques! I picked up Kelly Rae Roberts’ book Taking Flight and have been having so much fun playing in my studio! One of her projects features the wonderful artist Mati Rose and the use of a doily as a...

TITLE: Sing Your Song. Prints available in my etsy shop. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude. For every compliment or act of kindness I receive, I’m trying my best to take a moment and acknowledge it. Since I started this little blog (first post on January 27!), I’ve had my heart touched ten-fold by your lovely comments, encouragement and support. I just can’t... Continue reading
TITLE: GIFTS TO BE REMEMBERED. Prints available in my etsy shop. Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about how everything we experience in life shapes us and offers us the opportunity to grow. For this painting, I played a lot with collage. I rummaged through closets and drawers and grabbed anything I found that made my heart sigh. I searched for things I’d buried in... Continue reading
