This is an original painting. There is only one!

Today loving myself has looked like: Taking a break. Laying on my studio floor instead of forcing myself to work. Running errands alone while the babysitter was here instead of shlepping both kids with me. A long, aimless neighborhood walk in the sunshine with my sleeping baby. Laying in the park in the grass, looking at the blue sky and the trees. Cold kombucha. Hanging out and catching up with my neighbors after the kids were in bed (I’ve discovered the baby monitor works at their house!). Snuggling with myself and watching a show on Netflix (that’s what I’m about to do). What does loving yourself look like? (Here's the full message I wrote when I painted it.)

////////

My life changed dramatically in August 2018 when my husband suddenly died and then again in January 2019 when my baby girl was born. Creating nearly daily art has been one of the main ways I've tuned in to my feelings and to myself as I've moved forward. Sharing the art that I've been making and the messages I've been giving to myself has been a powerfully healing part of my journey, and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to share my images and thoughts with you.

 

Most products are packaged with care and shipped from my Portland, OR studio via the USPS. Orders are typically shipped between 1-3 days from the time of placing your order.

iPhone cases and T-shirts are printed to order and are shipped directly to you from the manufacturer, separately from other items in your order. Please allow 1-2 weeks for these items to arrive (in the USA) and approximately 4-5 weeks for international orders.

Prints are signed and dated, packaged in a plastic sleeve with cardboard backing, shipped in a bend-proof mailer.

Original paintings are signed and dated on the back. They are wrapped in bubble wrap and packaged carefully to prevent damage.

For international buyers: Once your order leaves the USPS I have no tracking information until it is delivered by your local service. Please note: Some countries charge an import or custom’s fee. You are responsible for the fees imposed by your country's postal service. International orders typically arrive between 1-4 weeks from the time of shipment.

MY PROCESS

Every piece of art and every product that I make begins with an intention to connect with my intuition and with myself. Who am I today, and what do I need? Making art smooths out life’s rough edges and helps me make sense of all the complex feelings and experiences that are part of being human. Creating helps me find joy, acceptance, and gratitude. It is a balm for my soul, and I hope the things I make will feel like a balm for yours, too.

Whether it is a piece of wall art for your home that I created using paint, markers, and colored pencils, a deck of animal totem oracle cards, a bright, patterned iPhone case, or a hand-drawn greeting card — every single product that I sell is made with heart. Most products are made right here in my studio in Portland, OR.

My work is created both traditionally and digitally; my favorite materials and tools include acrylic paint, gouache, colored pencils, paint markers, wood panels, fabric, my computer, and my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I also sometimes use fun things like glitter, resin, and sequins!
