It's been 8 months since I started filming long-form videos of my painting process and art journey. It has pushed me outside of my comfort zone and I'm so grateful that I have this space to deepen my creative practice.

It's been a huge learning process and practice in staying connected to what's truly important to me while creating more of a space for myself in the internet world. Nature is and will forever be my inspiration and motivation. And I hope that through my videos I can help others connect to the beauty of nature, as well as the beauty that resides deep within.

It feels like a long-term project. Something that I will continue to do even when the views are low. Though it does take practice to not become discouraged and to remember the heart of why I create.

I'm so grateful to each and every one of you who watch my videos, read my emails, and support my creativity. 💛 I hope you're having a blessed day!

Close up of the underpainting for the next piece in the feminine archetypes series: the mother

I dedicate this one to my mama, the beautiful woman who raised me .b.bigadvntre I love you 💙 happy birthday 🎂

My lastest video can be found on my channel. I share how I create an underpainting with earth-based oil paints, reflect on the beauty that mothers bring, and enjoy slowing down to make art amongst the trees. Link in bio.

I DID IT! A full year of making art every. single. day.

To celebrate, here are a few of the pieces that I never shared the finished product of. Swipe to the end to see my current work in progress.

In my next video, I’ll be sharing in depth about the year long challenge. All the ups and downs, what I learned, and where I’m heading from here. Comment your questions on this post and I’ll be sure to answer them in the video 🌞

Thanks for coming along on this ride with me. If you’ve been here the whole year, thank you for witnessing me and my growth ❤️

new art vlog coming Wednesday (12/7) at 5pm EST (:

I'll be sharing an update on the art challenge and how I've been building trust with myself through my commitment to the creative process. Learning to trust my inner guide has been pivotal in cultivating a healthy relationship with creativity. I also take a little trip to the forest ✨️

Dear followers,

I'm reaching out (see fig.1 above) to say thank you. Truly, thank you for caring enough to want to keep up - I know there's an overwhelming amount of stuff out there so the fact that you want to follow me and my art journey really means a lot.

Sometimes I don't feel like I write to you as often as I should. For a while there I got caught up all the "shoulds", algorithms, and statistics that come with trying to grow an art thing on social media that I intend to help sustain my life and eventually my family financially.

You have to post a certain number of times per day, between this 2 hour time window and you can only post videos or nobody will see it. And while many of these statistics ring true, it's a completely unsustainable way of relating for me personally.

I'm not always inspired to share, don't always want to take videos, and sometimes I really hate being on social media... I get sucked in and it often feels like a waste of time. But please don't take it personally. I really love all of the humans behind the screens that you read this from.

I've been living my life largely outside of social media. I've been falling deeply in love. Ive been meeting challenges that push the edge of my nervous system with deep belly breaths. Dancing in the rain. Crying at nearly every song that comes on. Cooking waaaay too many homemade frenchfries from local potatoes and probably eating way too much vegan cheese as well 🤷‍♀️

I've been making art, albeit not as much as I would have hoped. I'm still doing daily art (I did miss a few days last week because I'm not perfect). I've realized that a lot of what I make I feel pretty neutral about. And then every 3rd or 4th painting I'll fall absolutely in love with. That seems to be the pattern currently. Sometimes I'm surprised by what other people like in terms of my art. I'm definitely growing in my skill. I feel pretty confident that I can bring to life any image I desire if I set my mind to it and get the right supplies, this is a beautiful place to be. But I'm not an endless well of incredible ideas. Many of my ideas are pretty mediocre but they help me to learn and grow still.
