Title: Serendipity. Prints available in my etsy shop.
On any Wednesday evening you can usually find me at the movies. Brian’s alt-country band Ghost Town Council practices at our place and even with his new soundproof room (which means I can be painting in my studio while they play), I can’t give up my movie night. It’s the one night a week I leave open for myself. I pack a bag of toasted almonds and some peppermint tea or white wine and walk to the Sundance movie theater (we are so lucky to have an indie-theater so close)!
Last night I saw Mid-August Lunch, and I just had to mention it to you all because I found it so inspiring, so full of life and so charming, I just can’t recommend it enough! It takes place in Rome where a man is taking care of his mother and three other ladies for the holiday. As the credits roll, all of the lovely actresses are dancing together in their living room and it just made me so happy!
The four women spend the weekend eventually getting to know one another while eating, eating, eating and enjoying wine and tea (how wonderful is that!). One women, who can’t have dairy, snatches the pan of macaroni casserole at midnight and stows away to bed to gobble it up!
I couldn’t resist coming home and cooking up my own version of cheesy noodles. The perfect comfort food.
Noodles with Butter and Cheese
SERVES 1
Boil and cook 1 cup of noodles al dente, strain.
Leave the noodles dripping and put back into the pot on low heat. Add 3-4 slices of your favorite cheese (I used a sharp cheddar), a pad of butter, and a splash of milk. Leave on the heat for 5 minutes, stirring to mix all the ingredients until you’ve got a lovely cheesy consistency. And ENJOY!
NEW Prints! I’ve finally finished adding all of these new prints to my shop too!
Thank you so much for your patience!
Six NEW Prints now available in my Etsy Shop!

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.

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
