This has been a heck of a week, and I want to be honest with you about it.

My hands know exactly what they want to do right now — pick up a brush, dip into Van Gogh watercolor, watch color bloom across Arches paper. They just can't. It's been six days since I've painted, and it wasn't supposed to be this way.

Tuesday I went in for what should've been a routine MRI. Instead, the way my arm was positioned during the scan left me with a nerve and muscle injury in my painting shoulder — the one arm I need most for my work. I'm currently on a prednisone dose pack, hoping it brings the inflammation down before this drags out any longer. Some days I feel hopeful. Other days it feels like an unknown timeline with no clear end.

Here's the small silver lining: my "studio" this week is a heating pad, a very devoted nurse pug curled up on my lap, and a lot of staring at blank canvases I'm not cleared to touch yet. It's frustrating and honestly a little funny how hard my body is forcing me to slow down when every creative bone in me wants to get back to the tape and the pigment.

I don't have a neat resolution to wrap this up with — I'm just being honest, because the real version of this creative life includes the hard weeks, not just the finished paintings. If you've got positive thoughts or healing energy to spare, I'd genuinely welcome them right now. 💛

On the brighter side — I'm SO close to reaching 200 followers here on Facebook, and I'd love your help getting there. If you enjoy the colorful, geometric watercolor work I share, follow the page, and if you're active on Instagram too, come find me there as well at for behind-the-scenes process videos and the next painting reveal the moment I'm back in the studio.

If you know someone who'd love bold, colorful art — share this post with them, or tag them in the comments. Every follow and every share genuinely helps a small independent art brand grow. 🎨

More color is coming. I just need my shoulder to catch up with my heart.

No brush today. No warm colors. No control over what happened next.

I had my whole afternoon cleared to paint. Then a routine MRI turned into a nerve injury in my painting shoulder — from how my arm got positioned on the table. Who gets injured during an MRI?! So instead of watercolor stains, I've got a sling. My unwanted new accessory for a few days.

It's been a heck of a day, honestly. But I'm choosing rest today and hoping for real relief tomorrow so I can get back to my palette. If you've got positive vibes to spare, I'll take them.

Silver lining: I am SO close to 200 followers here, and I'd love for you to be one of the reasons I get there. If you're not already following my art page on Instagram (), that's where all the color, process videos, and honest days like this one show up first — come say hi over there too.
And if you know someone who'd love bold, handmade watercolor art, please share this with them. It genuinely helps.

More color coming soon. Thank you for being here through the real days, not just the pretty ones. 💛

Rested elbow. No splint. A full studio Sunday waiting to happen.

After a much-needed day off to rest my elbow, I finally got back to my easel — and I brought fall with me. I've had this pull toward warm, ember-toned colors for weeks, and today I let that inspiration take over completely. I reworked my shape placement again, pushing myself toward bolder, brighter choices I haven't tried in this exact combination before.

While I painted, I had the Minnesota Vikings game on — my hometown team clawing back from behind in a game full of twists and turns that ended in a dramatic comeback. Every shift in momentum on screen seemed to echo in my color choices. Painting kept me steady through every nail-biting minute.

The result is a piece I'm genuinely proud of: "Endzone Ember Bloom." Warm, unexpected, and full of the kind of color joy that reminds me why I do this.

If unique, hand-painted geometric watercolor art speaks to you, I'd love for you to follow along at Firefly Dreams Art — we're closing in on 200 followers and every single one matters. 🎨🍁

I almost skipped painting today. I'm so glad I didn't. 🎨

After a full day off resting my elbow, I finally got back into my studio this Friday afternoon — and it felt like coming home. There's nothing quite like that first tape-masking session after time away.

I painted without my wrist splint again today. It sounds small, but it's not something I take lightly — every pain-free painting day is a genuine win for me.

Instead of easing back in gently, I pushed myself further — new shape placements, bolder color risks, brighter combinations I hadn't trusted before. Some real creative rebellion happened on this paper today.

Meet "Splintered Radiance Bloom" — I love every single color I chose, and I'm genuinely proud of how this one came together.

I almost didn't paint today. But color pulled me back in. 🎨

After a full day off resting my elbow, I missed my studio more than I expected. When I finally sat down this Wednesday afternoon, I wasn't sure what today's painting session would look like.

I decided to keep pushing forward with my geometric "Scatter and Bloom" series — but I played with the shape placement differently than I usually do, and leaned into bolder, brighter colors: teal, magenta, coral, violet, gold, sky blue, and olive green.

Here's the part that means the most to me: I painted without my wrist splint again today, and afterward I took my first outdoor walk since my injury — almost 11 months ago. Standing outside in the sun after that long felt like a small miracle. I'm not taking a single creative day for granted right now.

I'm calling this new piece "Threshold Prism Bloom," because that's exactly what it felt like — stepping back over the threshold into color, movement, and light.

I genuinely love every color I chose for this one, and I'm so happy with how it turned out.

If you're someone who's drawn to bold, contemporary, hand-painted art — or you just needed a little color joy in your feed today — I'd love for you to follow along. I'm working hard to grow this little art community and I'm so grateful for every single person who's part of it.

Three days away from my studio felt like forever. 🎨

One of those days I hadn't planned for — my body needed rest, so I gave it rest. But today? Today I was back. Brush in hand, tape on paper, and a hunger to create something different.

So I did something I don't always do: I broke my own pattern. I rearranged every shape in ways I hadn't tried before — and reached for colors I don't usually pair together. Amber gold next to electric magenta. A violet I almost skipped. It felt risky in the moment... and then it felt right.

This piece is called "Amberdrift Fracture Bloom," and honestly? It might be one of my favorite color stories yet.

I'm so grateful for every single day I get to do this. It's never something I take for granted — especially after a few quiet days without a brush in my hand.

If you love watching bold, colorful abstract art come to life, I'd love for you to follow along here at Firefly Dreams Art. I'm building this community one piece at a time, and I'd love for you to be part of the next 200+. 💛 Comment your favorite color in this piece — I read every single one.

Hi friends 💙

I wanted to share something honest with you today — a little peek behind the curtain of what “art” actually looks like most of the time.

To end the week, I took the 1st of two full days off from painting. No brush, no watercolors, nothing. And I’ll be honest, it was hard to sit with at first — but it turned out to be exactly what I needed.

Instead of painting, I sat back down at my drafting table to start prepping my next piece, which I’ll be painting later this holiday weekend. Every strip of blue tape you see is a decision I made about where color will go, what shapes will form, and how the light will move across the page once the paint hits it.

Here’s the part I don’t think people realize: this messy, unglamorous taping stage is where most of the real thinking happens. It doesn’t look like much. But it’s the hidden groundwork and foundation for everything that comes next.

And once the watercolor goes down this weekend, all those blue lines and shapes are going to bloom into something bold and colorful — that’s the surprise that gets me every single time, no matter how many pieces I paint.

I’m so grateful for every one of you who follows this journey with Firefly Dreams Art. I’m getting close to a goal of 200 followers on Instagram, and if you’re here on Facebook and enjoy watching this process, I’d love for you to follow me over there too — that’s where I post the full process videos and reveal every new painting first.

If you know someone who loves colorful, contemporary art, I’d be so grateful if you shared this post with them. 🎨

Follow along, share the journey, and let’s grow this together!

Yesterday I put the brushes down and let myself grieve. Today I picked them back up and let color carry me forward.

This piece — “Quiet Triumph Bloom” — is proof that showing up doesn’t always mean showing up perfectly. I gave my elbow the rest it needed, skipped the wrist splint I usually rely on, and came into the studio unsure what today would even look like.

What happened surprised me. I played with the placement of my shapes differently than I have before, and pushed my base color choices brighter and bolder than usual. The geometry felt looser. The colors felt more alive. And by the end of a productive Thursday afternoon, I was genuinely happy with what came together.

I don’t take days like this for granted — the ability to sit down, choose colors I love, and watch a piece reveal itself is something I hold onto, especially after a hard day.

If you collect abstract or contemporary art and you’re drawn to bold, unexpected color combinations, this one’s for you.

Today would have been my Izzy’s 16th birthday.

I’ve been busy since sunrise, but she’s been on my mind in every quiet second between tasks — that kind of missing that doesn’t announce itself, it just sits with you all day. 🥺💔

There’s no new painting to share today, and that feels important to say out loud. She was my companion through some genuinely rocky, challenging times — the one who stayed close through every messy color mix and every late night I didn’t think I’d get through. Today, the most honest thing I can create is space, not art. So the tape and the Van Gogh half-pans are staying put for one more day.

Here’s what I didn’t expect, though: even on a day off, the color doesn’t disappear. It waits. Every “Scatter and Bloom” piece I’ve painted carries a piece of her in it — that refusal to play it safe, that belief that hard days deserve something beautiful too.

Wherever she is tonight, I hope she’s got all her favorite noms and some good belly scritches waiting for her. She was so loved, and she is so missed.

Tomorrow, I’ll be back at the easel with a new color story — and I’d genuinely love for you to be here for it. If you enjoy following along with the process (the real, human parts and the finished paintings both), follow Firefly Dreams Art — this little community has meant more to me than I usually say out loud.

I’d love to hear about a pet who changed your life, if you feel like sharing in the comments. I’ll be reading tonight. 💛

A full day of rest. A splint left behind. A painting that almost didn’t happen.

Yesterday I gave my elbow a much-needed break — no painting, just recovery. So when I sat down at my easel this Tuesday afternoon, I honestly wasn’t sure what today would bring.

I went back to my current geometric design, but I wanted to shake things up — I played with the placement of the shapes, letting the composition move in a new direction. Then came the colors: brighter, bolder, more daring than before. I wanted to keep pushing my own base color choices somewhere unexpected.

Painting without the wrist splint again meant a few genuinely tough moments — pain that made me pause and question if I’d finish. But I stayed with it, one shape at a time.

What I ended up with is a piece I’m genuinely proud of. Every color feels alive on the page, and I’m so happy with how it turned out.

I’m grateful for every single day I get to create — it’s never something I take for granted, especially the days that don’t come easy.

If you love bold, colorful, one-of-a-kind abstract art, follow Firefly Dreams Art — I’d love for you to be part of this community as we grow toward 200 followers together. More colorful, unhinged, joyful creations are coming. 🎨💛
