Livin’ the Dream!

Recently I was looking through some of my old photos and found a series of sketches I did 10 years ago... I’m pretty sure I did this on a lunch break at some “real job”. 

Wait...what do I mean by “real job”?

Well, someone else was telling me what do to and when it was due and during which hours I needed to work on it...

I always dreamed of steering my own kayak, making my own schedule, and running a business like the smart and capable I knew I could be.  And now that’s just what I’m doing. High five!! 

It doesn’t mean that every day is the BEST DAY EVER or that I still don’t get nervous about the future, but girrrlllll, it is a much better way to run a life. I am building something so much more in line with my goals and my soul. I’m proud of where I am and super psyched about where I’m going.

Thank you for being part of the party!

Much love!

Back in the Studio!

Notice that I used a capital “S”...’cause I feel like my studio has it’s own personality and presence. It’s where I experiment, get sh*t done, teach, nap, snack, create, explore, entertain...it means so very much to me!  

Here’s a sample of one of my upcoming classes...sooooo pretty!

I’ve been traveling for the last couple of weeks, and now I’m back, hitting the ground running! I’ve got a lot of new classes coming up, including an entire series at the YMCA in Hornell, NY. So excited!

I’m also prepping my talk to a group of teenagers in Elmira...I’m trying to channel my inner Tony Robbins. Yes yes yes!! (Booming voice!)

...and then there are the 2 “secret for now” projects I’m producing. I can’t wait to chat about these with you...stay tuned!

What sort of projects are you working on?

Happy Redbubble’Versary!

Wow! It’s been a year since I opened my Redbubble shop. I really can’t believe it!

It took a long time to find the best platform for me to use. I looked at Society 6 and really tried to make it work...it just didn’t. But Redbubble has been great! And I thank all of y’all for supporting my endeavors. Mmmwahhh!

If I could I would send everyone a gift card or special coupon code or something...unfortunately Redbubble won’t allow that.  I created this store so that more people would have the opportunity to live with (and in!) art. I know my paintings don’t fit into everyone’s budget, but most folks can treat themselves to a $2 sticker or a new mug. 

Again, thank you thank you thank you!

Stay tuned for more designs to be added to my shop. 

What should I add next? Taking suggestions!!
