Are you like this too?


Hi Reader.

As you know, I am a painter... who also wears a lot of other hats.

Wife. Mom. Sister. Daughter. Friend. Oh... and of course, full-time employee (for the time being at least)..

Between entertaining a toddler, attending Teams meetings, picking up and dropping off said toddler, spending time with hubby, doing house chores, time with God in my studio has felt... hard.

Can you relate? (Even if you aren't an artist of many hats, I feel like you can).

And just like I haven't, given up on my art, whatever is feeling hard for you right now... I don't want you to give up, either. Keep going Reader.

You got this. Remember, God will never leave nor forsake you.

ANYWAYS... here are some sketches that I have done lately. I'm really leaning into my flowers lately. Doesn't feel impressive, but it's proof of progress.

We can pretend there are imaginary numbers on these pics. From left to right, top to bottom, it's 1, 2, 3, and 4. Reply with a number to let me know which sketch is your fav.

Keep going Reader! I believe in you. And thanks for being a supporter. It means the world to me.

With love, grace, and gratitude,

P.S. At the end of the month, I'm doing a drawing for a free art print. Only my subscribers have a shot at it. Just my little way of saying thank you for your support.

Friend, If you looked into my studio earlier this year leading up to my solo art show, you would have seen giant, 30x40" canvases (and larger), layers upon layers of acrylic paint, and a creative process dependent upon my ability to control the brush to render lifelike images. I knew where each stroke belonged and was determined to control the outcome of each piece (to an extent). It was a beautiful, successful season, and I am still celebrating how those pieces are finding their places in...

Hi Reader! Last month, I decided to enter every email subscriber into a random drawing for a free open-edition print of "El Rai". You all had until the end of the month to join the list and enter the drawing. Well... now it's time to announce the winner! And the winner is... ... ... ... Myown! Congratulations!!! Okay, so maybe you didn't win and you want another chance at a free open-edition print? I feel that! Good news. I’m doing it all over again this month with a different open-edition...

Hi Reader! Do you ever struggle with imposter syndrome? You know — that illogical feeling that you're a fraud or incompetent, despite all the evidence clearly proving otherwise? That's what I've been dealing with lately. Maybe you can relate. After my solo exhibit in February (i.e., a very big accomplishment), I felt burnt out. The ease and joy I once felt when painting had somehow been replaced with tension and stress. I knew it was time for a shift. So, after lingering around for a while, I...
