Short Attention Span Studios

Short Attention Span Studios I have been creating art since I can remember. In addition, you may find the crochet & knit creations from my daughter.

My favorite medium is mixed media but I create paintings, handmade candles, jewelry and other items which will be shared here.

I’ve had an incredibly cathartic week. I’ve been working through with a lot of personal things with my therapist, grief, PTSD.. the last week brought some real a ha moments where I felt things lifting from my body and soul.
I was able to attend my first breath work workshop hosted by my friend Blanca who brought the incredible Marivel into my life. The release there was simply life altering. We followed that up by hosting a Horse Yoga event in my pasture on Sunday morning. It was bliss!
Monday, my body was tired but I felt a lightness I had but felt in I don’t know how long.
Not having any commitments I headed out to the studio where I opened up a new 3ft sq canvas and cranked up some tunes and poured myself out for hours. Nothing was stuck. Intuition just took over. I write messages, I stuck down pieces of paper and carved into the paint. I felt like I unearthed something.
I stepped back and was happy with where I ended up!
I don’t feel like this is quite finished but it’s almost there! ❤️ pieces of my soul are in this canvas!

Once again I’ve been MIA, lol. Today is the first day I’ve been able to get into the studio since getting back from Rancho La Puerta and my last minute side trip to Phoenix to see the kid ❤️.
Before I left, I signed for a swap with my art group. The requirement was to paint a 5 x 7 painting of animals. I am usually not such a bad procrastinator, but it did light a fire under my butt and forced me into the studio on this dreary day.
I decided to paint funky, owls, and here is how they turned out. Let me know what you think. Should I make some for cards?

I'm back in the US after an amazing and transformative week in Tecate at Rancho La Puerta.
At the very last minute, I decided to take a detour through Tempe to spend a few days with Hannah and her boyfriend; I will be home on Tuesday.
While at the ranch, I had the opportunity to take an art class with artist and master yarn painter Timothy Hinchliff. If you want to see some truly amazing artwork, look him up! () There is definitely a learning curve to this art form, but I am enjoying exploring it while spending time with Hannah in her studio. Here are some sneaky peeks of my WIP.

Oh I just got a notification that I am up to almost 100 followers. 💕 I haven’t had much time to paint this past week as I was busy working on various election campaigns and packing for my trip to Baja for a yoga/wellness retreat!

I brought a sketchbook and watercolors with absolutely NO PRESSURE! There is an art studio and guest mixed media artist this week at the ranch. I am very excited about her classes and will share pix!!

In the meantime here is a very poor photo of one of my heart shadow boxes with a “purple” theme. It is available for $25 + shipping unless you’re local, in which case it comes with a visit and hug from me 🥰

There is a funny story behind this canvas. I recycled it from a class I took some time ago with the kiddo. It sat unloved on our entertainment center (face down) where eventually 's cat thought it made a great bed. The back is coated in cat hair, LOL (see in comments) It's ok though because I am really pleased with how it turned out so I will probably pop it on the wall in my indoor studio with other artwork and inspirational pieces. In that vein I guess I should call it "Miso's Flowers"

Can you guess the unconventional tool I used to paint the flowers?? Not a paint brush.

WIP, I’m not sure about the dots on background?? Paint over? Leave ‘em? Ugh

Mixed Media Heart Shadow Box – 5” Framed Originals

This sweet little framed artwork is filled with tiny hearts cut from my original mixed media creations. Each heart began as part of an experimental art piece, art journal page, or creative “therapy” session—moments where I explored color, texture, and emotion freely on watercolor paper.

Every heart is hand-cut from these one-of-a-kind mixed media works, which may include collage, pencil, acrylic paint, paint pens, glitter, and other layered materials. I then intuitively select and arrange the hearts into a cheerful composition and place them in a 5" square white shadow box frame, creating a small piece of art full of personality and positive energy.

Because the hearts come from different original works, no two pieces are ever the same—each one is a truly unique miniature collage.

Perfect for:
• A colorful desk or shelf accent
• A thoughtful handmade gift
• Mother's Day, birthdays, or friendship gifts
• Anyone who loves small original art

Details

• 5” x 5” white shadow box frame
• Original mixed media collage hearts on watercolor paper
• Each piece is one-of-a-kind
• Signed and numbered
• Ready to display (Easel & hanger back)

Price: $25 + shipping (if needed)

Your piece will be intuitively created, meaning the hearts chosen for your artwork will be selected organically from my collection of mixed media pages—making your piece uniquely yours. 💗

DM me to order yours!
