I finished this one up while having a long phone chat with my best friend who lives 2000 miles away. I painted while listening to her pour her heart and frustrations out. This year has been challenging for her, well everyone, but especially her. Shes such a beautiful soul, feeling so tangled up inside. I imagine her soul to be painted of beautiful colors with some interesting scribbles laid around, just like this one. I wish I could help her mind be still on her hardest days. In honor of her, I shall call this painting, "Amy" ❤

About 1/4 done writing my second book. This is my truth told through poetry. A memoir of my childhood, my journey, my pain and my peace ❤ What do you think of the cover?

Tribute watercolors are my favorite to create. I couldn't help but to get emotional creating this one for a special little girl who lost her very special daddy.

I've always said that art is to create the things that you wish existed. We can never bring back the loved ones we have lost but we can always honor them through art.

4×6 "be still" magnet minis for sale now!

There are so many that hide their pain, tucking their anxiety and trauma deep inside, hoping they will forget. Like an old box collecting dust in the attic. Sometimes there is a direct trauma to cause such burdens but sometimes there is not. I often wonder if I did not experience childhood trauma, would I still be tucking pain into my forgotten box? Some times depression and anxiety welcomes itself into someone’s home, lingering like a bad scent. Over the years, I have learned to talk to my anxieties when they pop in for an unscheduled visit. I very often tell myself to BE STILL. When anxiety or depression dance around you and you see nothing but movement, tell your mind to be still. I like my art to reflect healing and peace, I paint how I managed to overcome statistics and still my mind... and my heart. These magnet minis are my way of giving you a reminder of peace. Stick it right on your fridge so every day you will be reminded to be still. From my heART to yours xoxo
