Follow me on Instagram for the latest on what is happening in my studio and daily inspirations.

This week the girls are at Pottery camp & today I plan on painting outside. First stop the art store to get more paint. Do you ever hide certain colors so you don’t use them? I love blue, but not for today’s pieces. I’m excited to get back to the studio today and get my hands dirty. This original collage is available through @curatewithcardamom The other day I saw this in person and let me tell you that it is AMAZING! 🙌This is a detail from the 280x 45ft mural. If you love color & abstract art check out the talented ladies who created it @jessieandkatey 🌈 This guy is my best friend & tomorrow is our 15 year anniversary. I’m a lucky lady, this morning we spent the day at an art gallery, walked to all of the murals on my list. Enjoyed tacos & fancy cocktails for lunch & tomorrow it’s @themartinhouse & the Foo Fighters!🙌 My nightstand just got a makeover. Put any of my collages in a frame and they look like a million bucks🙌 Almost a year ago I challenged myself to create 40 paintings before my 40th birthday. This piece happened quickly & I love the color palette. Available DM for details. Today I ran into someone I’ve never met before. She stopped me to say that she thought I was doing a great job with my IG account. I thanked her & said that I honestly have not felt the urge to create anything in the past month as nothing I have already made is selling. I also told her that I was ready to take a break from social media for a while. She said that us running in to one another was maybe the encouragement I needed to keep going. Sometimes it’s little moments in your day where the unexpected happens that helps you put your goals in perspective. Today I also read an interview by a friend @lisamclindenart who says “Success equates to remaining authentic, transparent, and real, all the while getting to do what I love every single day.” After reading this I do feel successful. I try to be consistent & put myself out there. If you are feeling shitty, know you are not alone. Doubt is always there in the back of my mind. My eight year old daughter was tired of her pink room. A few weeks ago I redid her space on a budget. This hand painted wall is my favorite element. Details are on the blog. I went for a walk this morning after dropping the girls at school. Inspiration found in this color palette.💕 Just added this framed collage to my shop. Who doesn’t love a touch of gold? $45 CA includes shipping in NA.🙌
