A question for April: if someone walked into your home and had to describe how it felt without referencing the furniture or the decor (just the feeling) what would you want them to say?

That answer has a lot to do with the work you choose for your walls. Art sets the emotional tone in a way that paint and furniture rarely can.

Would love to hear your answer in the comments. And if you are still working toward that feeling, "Magic Tree" might be worth a look.

Wow! How cool is this? There is this lovely lady, Negrita Smart, who is an amazing, best-selling children’s author. She needed a name for her character’s dog and threw the request out into the social media universe. I ran across her post and put in my two cents. Guess what? She chose “Sparky”—my idea!

Dearest Johnny Depp, 🩷🩷🩷

Darling, I am writing to you, because clearly a TERRIBLE injustice has just occurred. Somehow I have been overlooked as the obvious choice as THE PEOPLE’S ARTIST! Johnny, what the actual hell?!

Yours truly,
💕Louise

P.S. I always thought Amber was a right bitch.

In all seriousness y’all, I guess my five minutes of hopeful five minutes of fame was all over, in about five minutes. I don’t even know how I got out so quick. The voting doesn’t even start until May 4th! 🤷‍♀️ Oh well. I have posted some of my best art here for you to enjoy, because we all know, even without a pretty crown, I am an artist for the people. I didn’t want that crown anyway. 😢😢😢







UPDATE: IT WAS ALL A TERRIBLE MISTAKE! Just as I suspected. See comments. Thank you, Johnny. 😘😘😘

Two open calls! 💕Louise

Earth Day is a good time to think about how we consume, and art is part of the conversation.

Investing in something made with care, designed to last, and tied to a specific practice is a great way to engage in mindful consumption. My work is made to last.

"SNOW CONES" is that kind of work. Happy Earth Day!
