Typically, i love to take a cute polaroid photo with my boyfriend and the kitties for holidays. This year, we forgot to! So instead i did a quick little doodle of us together as a way to have a tangible memory and some much-needed time with creativity.

I created this painting with hopes that I could submit it one of our local art festivals. I was definitely over thinking on "if it would sell" and in return that was absolutely blocking a lot of my creativity. I finally sat down, and told myself to just have fun with it.. regardless of if it sells. and guess what? It sold! YAY!

This is one of my most recent murals that I was honored enough to create for a local elementary school. The goal was to portray the magical feelings that reading can bring children and to convey that with my art. You can read more about this mural here :)

This creation was totally unexpected, but I really love it! I created this during a time that I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with life.. and i knew I just needed to sit down and do something creative for myself "for no reason." I ultimately ended up with this self-portrait, and maybe a bit of much-needed self love. :)

I always pack my paint markers for road trips or airplane rides because, let's be honest... I really hate sitting still. I'm a creative with ADHD (lol) This little mini-painting was created on a road trip for a wedding in PA and was actually the first time I got to meet my boyfriend's extended family!
