At the beginning of the year, I bought a giant, stately printer! She's been up and running for a couple of months now and we are SO proud of the quality she produces. Exquisite. 👌🏼 canvas and watercolor prints that look SO REAL my studio visitors lean close and touch the surface in complete surprise. ⁣ ⁣
We've found our flow in the studio and all the tech is humming along so I would love to share some of this joy with YOU! ⁣
⁣
So... Use the code "FreshStart" for 25% off all reproductions - big prints, small prints, collection of prints, all the prints... 25% off. 🙌🏽

Some exciting things are about to begin happening around the studio... Retreats, mini-courses, possibly an artist’s collective membership where we will share brilliance and empowerment (eeep) , and PAINTINGS!!! Yes. Paintings. I have put much of my physical creativity on hold while giving SO MUCH of myself to others over the past 6 months, but it’s nearly time for me to break in my brushes and CREATE. The ideas are swirling. There is a small stack of canvases teasing me from the corner of my studio. Soon. So soon. ⁣
⁣
I really appreciate your support and encouragement through this season of new motherhood (again) and education. I know you, my wonderful collectors are waiting and I cannot WAIT to deliver! ⁣
⁣
PS. Tomorrow, we’re going to do something FOR YOU. Stay tuned. If you have a print in your cart right now, don’t buy it yet. 😉

This room *only* looks at all magazine-y because all of my children are outside, romping through the woods, making mansions in the pine trees and worlds in the berry brambles. The dirt under my sons fingernails looks like a reverse French manicure and, when I’m not writing and painting, I am definitely out there with them, fingers deep in the earth working on my manicure too. ⁣
⁣
We ate dinner outside tonight (and most nights). It’s 7:22pm now and the girls brought Dan into the pine forest to show him their world and my heart is swollen as I watch him explore their tiny rooms and the spaces they created as the sun fades slowly through the trees. I’d totally marry him again. ☺️⁣
⁣
We talked a lot today about freedom. The ability to leave convention and do the thing that delights your heart — the ability to stick up for others because you have a voice and the strength to do so. Sweet, strong ladies... ⁣
⁣
All these thoughts flooded my heart when walking by this room and realizing we haven’t been in here at all today. And it’s been a good, good day. ⁣ nothing against you, room, but you just can’t compare. ⁣
They’re walking back now. Dusty and open-armed. Talk of rain. The leaves are turning. But there is a ball and there is space. And no rain yet. So...

Feeling a little stuck? Like nothing is actually happening? A few thoughts that have (and are) helping me: it doesn’t happen in a flash. If it did it would be incredibly painful. Growth is slow and gentle because this is the kindest way for us to evolve. 🌱
Give your idea a little love and some extra time here and there. Aim to make consistent, quite progress and you will find yourself inside your wildest dreams. Seriously. ⁣
Is there a magic wand? Nope. Is there a clear path? No, sorry. Will you be thrown curveballs at every stage of growth? Yep, and you’re going to get darn good at hitting them (lol, first sports analogy I’ve ever attempted — did it work? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😂). ⁣
⁣
We’re 10 weeks into the Making Art Work Course and the nourishing conversations are flowing like water, changes are being made, and lives are evolving! You know the biggest takeaway from this course (for me + many, many of the students)? This work is worthy. THIS WORK IS WORTHY. ⁣
I say it nearly EVERY WEEK wrapped in different words and forms, but this truth has to sink in.⁣
⁣
THESE SLOW & QUIET STEPS TOWARDS PROGRESS ARE WORTHY. ⁣
Because, guess what. The process is the reward. The process of change is life-giving and, if you allow it, will bring strength and joy to you and those around you. // photo by @annafduncan 😍

GAME TIME! Type in the comments below “My creative vibe is {predictive text}” 😂 Maybe an epiphany is in store? Maybe just something hilarious. 🔮
Right now mine is “my creative vibe is going to be amazing” 🤷🏻‍♀️👍🏼☺️

I intended to paint this afternoon. ⁣⁣
There is an “art table” in the middle of my home covered in paint and canvases and half-dabbled projects. ⁣⁣
But on my way to cleaning my brushes I found myself in the garden pulling weeds. ⁣⁣
I’m digging my fingers into the dirt and loosening roots I don’t deem valuable to make more space for the ones I do. ⁣⁣
Hours an hours of my creative time spent loosening dirt and watching a babe run around naked in the sprinkler. ⁣⁣
And what I found during this sunshine afternoon is energy, connection, belonging, and inspiration in the vines I was pulling. ⁣
Which is, after all, at the root of my creative work. ⁣⁣
So maybe I did create… Just not in the way I expected. ⁣
⁣
I’ll look at these pieces on the mantle and find another day to paint.
