✨Introducing "Stacking Habits," an abstract piece that explores the power of repetitive motion. Inspired by the rhythm and flow of daily activities, this painting captures the essence of how simple, consistent actions can lead to profound mental clarity and peace.

Repetitive motions—whether it’s knitting, walking, playing an instrument, or even daily routines like chopping vegetables—help us find a sense of calm and focus. These activities mimic the effects of meditation, allowing us to reset, release stress, and build healthy habits. "Stacking Habits" reflects this process, with its layers of grayish-green brushstrokes and circular sketches symbolizing the ongoing cycle of growth and mindfulness.

This artwork is perfect for YOU to find solace in your daily rituals, or on your journey to create positive changes in your life through the power of repetition and habit-building. Whether it’s your morning yoga, evening walks, or simply the act of tidying up your space, this piece serves as a visual reminder of your peace found in your daily routine.

Add "Stacking Habits" to your space as a testament to the beauty of everyday practices. Available now on my website—link in bio! ✨

This painting sold today during Early Access and I wanted to share a funny little anecdote about it before sending it off to it’s forever home 🥲

Of all 11 pieces in the ‘In Bloom,’ this is the one I wrestled with the most. No matter what I tried to add on or take away, it just kept turning back into a landscape. I’d flip it upside down, take out all the horizontal lines… landscape. Flip it vertically, and orange loops… landscape 😑

I wanted the collection to feel cohesive as a whole, and these pieces were meant to evoke flowers, wind, grass, SPRING. I wanted to fit it into a creative mold I had made and didn’t understand why it wouldn’t cooperate.

After putting it in timeout for a few days, I finally came to the realization that if it was so desperate to be a landscape then by god I’d better let it be a landscape. I finished it the way it wanted to be painted, titled it ‘Salt of the Earth,” and it sold the next day 🤷🏻‍♀️

I guess the moral of the story is to stop creating my own boundaries around my work and let the spicy pieces be who they want to be (?). And also that it’s time to start working on a new collection of abstract landscapes 🙃

The rest of the collection will be LIVE to everyone tomorrow morning on my website ❤️❤️

🖼️ To Frame or Not to Frame? 🖼️

I started offering framing services this past year and found that almost 100% of buyers chose this option at checkout!

Not only does a frame give your piece a finished edge and polished look in your space, you’ll also save a significant amount of money when you purchase through me. (I buy my frames wholesale and pass on the savings to you, versus a framer who will charge full price).

All our frames are solid wood float frames, meaning the painting fits snugly into the frame with no overlap on the surface. We have tons of finishes to choose from, including walnut, maple, oak, black, gold, white… the list goes on!

Need help selecting the best frame for your piece? Shoot me an email at or after checkout and we can work on it together!

These paintings are part of the ‘In Bloom’ collection that will be available on my website 3/5. Email subscribers will get early access to the collection, so make sure you’re signed up! Link is in my Stories and on my website footer ❤️
