What I’ve been working on today

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 for my artwork. It's about 7.5-minutes long, and you can totally listen to it on 2x speed or in the background. Promise I won't be offended. In it, I talk a little about my journey from studying engineering for financial stability while maintaining my passion for the arts, and how I feel that my self-taught artistic ability feels like a divine gift from God. I give you some great context on my personality (which I have heard is very important for savvy collectors like you) and the heart behind why I do this. Here's the vid:  I hope you give it a listen. Let me know what you relate to the most. (Seriously, let me know. I love reading and responding to your replies!) With love, grace, and gratitude, PS. If you're still looking for a piece for your space, you can check out my art here. |

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...
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...
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...
