Hello Friends!
This week I’ve been preparing for my Painting Retreat in Wisconsin.I can’t wait to meet everyone!
This event is sold out, but you can join the waitlist to learn about future retreats.
I’m so inspired by all of the beauty around my studio. Color and calm have always inspired me.
If you are ever looking for creative inspiration, here are a few tips I follow…
*Take An Artist Dates: This idea comes from the amazing Julia Cameron. I find that scheduling a weekly solo adventure completely nurtures my inner artist. I’ll visit a museum, explore a new neighborhood, or attend a concert to inspire ideas.
*Limit Screen Time: This is such a big thing for me right now. I’ve set up an area for my phone and make it habit to tuck it away often throughout each day. I even cover it with my favorite scarf so that I’m reminded to use my phone mindfully (and not get sucked in).
*Embrace Playfulness: Allow yourself to create without the pressure of perfection. I love to engage in playful activities like sketching, gardening, or watercoloring to stimulate my imagination.
For those of you who share a passion for creative inspiration, I invite you to take a moment for yourself today I also shared a fun owl painting tutorial in this blog post… you can watch it here.
Happy painting!

PS For My Collectors, there are a few new originals in my shop.
I'm working hard on limiting screen time but it's been very hard lately!
