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

I'm working with 8x10" wood panels for my current series, which is often challenging as I like working larger. It felt really good finishing this today. It will also be included in the release of the series starting next week. Help me out...what should I name it? If you've been following along with my 40 paintings in 40 days project let me fill you in on what's happening. I'm feeling good about my progress as I have 5 more paintings to produce to complete this challenge. I've found myself painting over & over certain ones that I don't love & that's not what this is all about. Yes I want to make original pieces that I am proud of, but getting in a negative mindset is not good for creativity. It's all about the process & growing as an artist. I'm working with materials that are not in my comfort zone & having fun which is what it's all about. I'm a mom so getting my daughters back in their routine for school Tuesday is priority. I will worry about photographing all these paintings next week. Thanks for all of your encouragement, it really has kept me going over the past month. Can't wait to share this series with you. Two more days until the big 40!💃🎉🍻📷by Oxford Proper. One of my thank you cards by @moo looks amazing in this lucite frame. Thanks for sharing @0utsidetheboxfox 🙌Today I'm off to a waterpark with my girls. Wish me luck as I took a non drowsy allergy pill before bed & got no sleep!😩 One of my favourite things to do is to make a cup of tea, relax & look at beautiful interior spaces.

Happy weekend folks!⭐️ "There shouldn't be any shame in the struggle of doing what you love" -Jen Gotch 🙌 This entire process of painting for 40 straight days is kinda getting to me. I honestly don't know how artists do the 100 day project. Just needed to vent... now I feel better. Whenever I travel I try to find a piece of art or something small to bring home as a keepsake. I carried this Klimt book all around Ireland & found this bentwood stool at the thrift shop. If I could go back in time I would tell my 27 year old self...don't paint it yellow you will regret it! What's your favourite souvenir? Detail of a piece I finished last week for my 40 days of painting series. A few pieces from my 40 days of paintings series. Check out today's blog post to see some of my favourite paintings. Link in profile. I admire the photography of @inter_disciplinary I could stare at her images all day. The composition & colours are so inspiring. Check her out!🙌 When you find graffiti that looks like lemons & limes in a bubbly drink, you make yourself a cocktail. Last night of soccer for the season...this mom is excited!🍹
