Lately I’ve been working on a new series of paintings that are taking me in a completely new direction.
I am exploring more portraits and more specifically characters you might find in fairy tales.

This series of paintings started as a continuation of my Flower Girl series, but soon these paintings filled with ethereal layers and primary colors that just remind me of seeing the world through the eyes of a child.

I’ve been thinking so much about returning to the illustrated novel I put aside earlier this year. Stories and ideas just keep coming to me through these new paintings, and I know I just have to get back to writing again.

I’m still not sure where all of my paintings and stories will take me or what they will turn into next. But I know to follow my joy and inspirations.

If you’d like to see how these portraits evolve, I’ll be posting lots of sneak peeks over on my instagram stories.

Happy painting!

What I’ve Learned As A Full-Time Artist + Entrepreneur

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...

Business For Creatives + Overcoming My Shyness

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...

Painting Owls + Finding Your Artistic Voice

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

Letting Go + Developing Your Unique Style

Everyone always asks how I developed my artistic style. I have to say, style was nothing I intentionally developed. It was just the thing that happened when I painted every day. Most often I can look at a finished painting and see that it perfectly reflects who I am in that moment… all of the quirkiness and emotion I sometimes wish I could hide. But... Continue reading
