✨🍋A Studio Full of Magic & Whimsy🍋✨ Fou

✨🍋A Studio Full of Magic & Whimsy🍋✨

Four new paintings are just about complete—now they wait patiently to dry before their final varnish. Each one has little metallic touches that shimmer in the light, adding to the dreamlike feel of the studio right now.

One of my new favorites? Pig Owl, Dragonfly—surrounded in silver leaf.

🍄There’s a lot of whimsy happening in my work these days, and I’m loving the shift. Soft pastels, bold imagination, and a touch of metallic magic—this new direction feels special.

Which one should I share a close-up of next?

✨ Keeper of the Shrouded Grove ✨

My newest Seed Girl is nearly complete! Today, I’m adding the finishing touches—including her signature gold border—before she’s ready to step into the world. This piece fully embraces the surreal, with her entire head transformed into a thriving mushroom ecosystem (good thing mushrooms are fairly lightweight!).

She wanders through the shrouded grove, a gentle guardian sprinkling magic across the land, accompanied by her tiny piggy companion. I loved creating this piece, letting the details unfold like a whispered legend. I can’t wait for you to see her in all her gilded glory! ✨

What do you see when you look at her?

✨🌙Milky Way🌙✨

I’ve always loved vintage postcards—the ones with soft, dreamy colors and a hint of nostalgia. My favorites are the celestial and lunar-themed ones, filled with wonder and a little bit of magic. ✨

‘Milky Way’ was created with that same feeling in mind, using soft pastels to capture a moment that feels both timeless and ethereal.

My newest Seed Girl is almost complete! This oil on canvas is filled with softness, strength, and renewal—and I’m absolutely in love with this little pony. It’s my first time painting one, and I think he’s just the sweetest!

💛The final touch will be my signature gold Seed Girlfriend frame, which will truly bring this piece to life.

What do you think? Are you loving this little pony as much as I am? Let me know in the comments!

✨ A special piece with a special story… ✨

‘Guardians of Cherry Grove’ —from my Seed Girl Collection—will be available in my next telecast the first weekend of March! 🍒

This painting is inspired by my very first time in the Netherlands for a street painting event. Several years before Remmie and I met, I was taken on a bike ride just outside the city, through the most breathtaking countryside, and we ended up stopping at a cherry orchard. Sitting there, eating fresh Dutch cherries, was such a simple but magical moment. Ever since then, I’ve been obsessed with dark cherry jam from Holland! 🍒🧀☕️

This piece holds that memory—of nature, discovery, and the sweetness of small moments. I can’t wait to share it with you!

Tune in to the telecast or send me a message if you’d like more details! 🍒✨

“A very Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! ❤

“A very Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! ❤️✨

Today, I’m throwing it back to a series of paintings I did on OCD—part of a collection titled Boa Dusters and Other Household Seductions. It was all about the art of cleaning—because who doesn’t love a little sparkle and order in their life? 🧼💫

Swipe through for a peek at 2 - these were tall paintings so your seeing the tops and bottoms of each - and tell me—are you more of a deep cleaner or a creative chaos type?
