Happy Valentine’s Day, 8″ x 8″, watercolor, ink and stamps on paper. I really don’t like this holiday but I love love, so let’s celebrate that. And happy birthday, Mom!

Pattern Play in my Cup Series
Aerial View, 6″ x 6″ watercolor and ink on paper, 150/365 Cups. I love exploring pattern and have been having a blast riffing off of Jacqueline Groag’s amazing pattern designs. You can learn a lot by studying a master.
Continuing to grow from Lisa Congdon’s class about idea generation.
Friday Reads: This week's stack
This week’s stack of books. Yes I am reading all of these. There’s a whole other stack of books I’m not actually reading. In the stack you will see hints of where I am traveling this year, hints about an e-book I am writing and the art I am making, the novel of a friend, and a book related to my overall goal of thinking more creatively.
I am such a book glutton and love how the books I read change my life in such a direct way.
My favorite coffee drinks
8″ x 8″ watercolor, ink and marker on paper. I love all three of these coffee drinks. I believe each one of them has a specific amount and should be served in a specific kind of cup or glass. When somebody serves me a cappuccino in a giant bowl cup, it drives me crazy.
From my studio
Reading and getting ready for the day before jumping online to work. I like this way to orient myself to my work week. Lots of student and client time this week, and also working on my new e-book and art portfolio. I love the variety in my days. Here’s to a great Monday and a wildly creative week for all. 🌺
