🌸SOLD🌸

I’m so grateful and humbled that someone fell in love with Lure of Beauty as much as I did while creating it. 🖼️✨ This painting recently found its forever home during a Park West Gallery online auction, and I’m so happy to know it resonated with a collector. 💖

This coming weekend, several of my new paintings will be featured in Park West Gallery’s online auction, and I’m beyond excited to share them with you.

If you’d like to join the auction fun and catch a glimpse of my new work tune in this weekend with @parkwestgallery

Studio vibes ✨

Three of my Seed Girl paintings set aside to dry! It’s been a creative whirlwind working with oils these past few weeks, but I’m feeling the pull to switch things up. Time to get back into soft pastels—one of my favorite mediums to experiment and play with! 🌸🎨

I’ve also got a couple of exciting events coming up, and I can’t wait to share all the details with you later this week. Stay tuned—it’s going to be good!

In the meantime, let me know in the comments: Are you team soft pastels or oil paints? Or maybe you just love seeing the process unfold? Let’s chat about art! 🖌️ I’m always curious to see what people like best.

✨ Almost Finished: The Bunny Guardian ✨

I’m so excited to share a glimpse of my newest seed girl, The Bunny Guardian! 🌕

She’s almost ready—I just need to add the gold border. But I couldn’t wait to show off her glowing backlit hair, the moonlight, the little red mushrooms, and her whimsical presence.

My Seed Girls are all about nurturing and protecting the magic in nature and all its amazing creatures. 🌱

Oh, and this painting also features my first-ever chicken! 🐔 I’ve never painted one before, can you believe it? Kind of weird, but I thought I’d share lol

What do you think so far? Can’t wait to share the finished piece! 🍄

🖊️✨ Sketching the Seed Girls ✨🖊️ No

🖊️✨ Sketching the Seed Girls ✨🖊️

Normally, I don’t share much of my sketching process, especially since I often work digitally on my iPad—it’s so convenient for traveling! But the Seed Girls are different. From the moment this collection began to take shape, I felt a pull to connect with the tactile, organic practice of sketching with pen and paper.

Why pen? Because there’s no erasing. Every line, every curve, every stroke stays. It feels natural, spontaneous, and unfiltered—just like the Seed Girls themselves. The process mirrors the themes of this collection: growth, imperfection, and embracing the beauty of what unfolds naturally.
These sketches are the beginning of their stories, and I’m so excited to share this journey with you. 🌱💫
