Which is your favorite? 🌸 It's between the top two for me. I love the softness of the left flower and the pops of blue on the right. But, really, who can pick a favorite when they're all so pretty?⁠

CLASS IS OPEN! 🙌 This is the class I always wished I could take but never could find.⁠⠀

I wanted an art class that felt refreshing, inspirational, and helped me on my journey toward self-exploration. I wanted it to feel a little deeper and like I was being led or guided towards inner reflection. Something that asked good questions and made me think in new ways and helped me to see things differently. And I wanted it to feel creative because there's nothing like creativity to set you on a new path. I wanted to feel free, open and inspired. So that when I was done, I could go back into my life feeling refreshed and ready to tackle important things in my life. Sort of like how you feel on vacation or after you go to the spa. That's what I wanted and I couldn't find it. So I created it instead. ⁠⠀

Loose interpretations of vines, leaves, petals.🌿🌸 Organic, open, and free. They show up often in my work. I love the feminine earthy nature of them. That feeling of intrigue and connection they bring.💁‍♀️What shows up in your work? ⁠
Do you have things you're consistently drawn to?⁠

Working in books is one of my favorite ways to make art. Organic, botanical, colorful. Makes my heart happy. It satisfies some sort of craving for me. ⁠

Open and free. That's the goal. It's the way I want to feel when creating. Remaining curious and spontaneous is a value I protect for my art practice. Not always something that's readily available in "real life" but it's something I can preserve it through my art. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Tell me about you. Where can you let go into freedom? Is there a little margin, just a slice, either in your life or your art where you can build up trusting yourself? Tell me about it in the comments.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

At the top of my stairs is a cute little nook. Complete with a desk that my husband made for me, I've had many hours up there making art. I had him make the desk really deep so there's lots of room for spreading out with room under my feet so I can set up some plastic drawers way in the back. A soaring two-story stairwell with a window way up high lets me look out to the sky and behind me is an overlook onto the dining room down below. I feel like a bird in a perch. When all my kids lived at home and took up all the bedrooms it was my main space for making art. It's tiny and weird and I basically sit right smack in the middle of the hallway/landing and I love it. Now that a few kids have grown up and moved out I have a bedroom I work in and have the whole space! Yesterday, I revisited that little but mighty desk in the perch, cleaning it out, repurposing it to become more of a working desk than a creative desk. I haven't worked up there for a while but seeing it again with fresh eyes made me remember how much I loved it. Don't be afraid to really use your home in the way that works for you. Especially now, when we are home so much. Carve out those weird nooks and little spaces so that you can have room to do the things you love or need to do. Any weird spaces in your house that you've found a purpose for?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
