My first paintings of 2021 - "A Soul's Response"

I’ve been slow to share the new paintings I have been working on, they have felt so personal and the process wasn’t something I was quite ready to share until now. It’s been a slow, thoughtful process of painting, reflecting, feeling all the things and during each studio time a simple thought kept coming to mind.

Introducing The Field Collection

Fields have always held a bit of magic for me, the way the grass dances in the wind, the little creatures that call it home & how it automatically shifts with the seasons. I’ve been thinking about all of these things while working on this small collection of paintings. These Field paintings have been such a sweet process as I've slowed down,

I quietly worked on these paintings just for myself as a place to reset...

A sneak peak behind the upcoming By The Bay series

When I lived away from the ocean, I would dream of it, cry when I say it on a tv show and would immediately be home sick. Now 5 years later and 10 minutes away from the ocean I sometimes forget to see it for months. It’s been so easy to get caught up in the day to day, running a business from home and then you add a global pandemic on top of it and I needed a “reset.”

Part 1: The 2020 Abstract Collection, unpacking what these paintings mean during this crisis

I sit here typing these words over a month after the launch of my most recent original artwork launch.

Tiny artwork making a big impact

If you follow me on instagram then you know how I’ve been switching things up and painting a lot of tiny landscapes. I love painting these little original landscapes for a number or reasons, but the biggest one is the fact that tiny art can truly make a big impact in your home. Plus it’s a fun way for me to get some ideas out of my head a little faster then when I paint large and because they are an affordable way to collect artwork for you home no matter your budget.

It's been a while... late night thoughts from the studio

Did you know that I started blogging way back in 2012, I was only a few years into marriage. We had moved to Montana and I was going to school to be an interior designer.

the "Home" series

I shared these new paintings with my 4yr old niece. I asked her if she likes these “houses.” She immediately corrected me by saying “auntie, those aren’t houses, they’re Homes.”

I asked her what the difference was and she said “houses are empty & homes have people living in them.”
