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.

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...

Hey Reader! I just got done going on a walk outside. I've always known that I feel good after a walk outside, but since learning more about how our environment affects us, it's something I've been trying to prioritize more. Something about the sunlight filtering through the trees just does it for me. …but now onto other very important business. Emailing you! This week I want to share this video I recently recorded that shares a little about the big picture of my journey and the vision I have...

Hey Reader, You know that feeling you get when you walk into a room, maybe it's your living room, your bedroom, or your office, and something feels off? That's "cognitive load". In my last email, I introduced the idea of neuroaesthetics, which is basically the study of how our brains and bodies interact with our external environment. I want to pick up where I left off. I won't get too detailed, but essentially the science of it says that your brain actually works harder just to exist in a...
