Sketchbook Saturday: Earthing
Just a little color sketch to share today. A peek inside my sketchbook. There’s a little thing I like to do called Earthing. It means getting outside in the grass, going barefoot, sit, breathe and just be. It clears the head and brings forth some of the most creative ideas… at least that’s how it […]
New Product Release with Avocado Arts

Also, check out Ashley Harris’ blog today. She is sharing projects using my product designs. She is the shizz. Just love her. We met last summer and she […]
Friday Freebie – Lovely Lilac
This is my lovely lilac. I grew it up to the massive tree it is from a little pee wee root. The blooms don’t last long enough and there’s something about the smell that has the power to transport. I have two friends that adore lilacs and I was thinking about them this week. You […]
Damask = LOVE
So after yesterday’s PING, I thought I would actually show you what I planned to share. 🙂 I love. love. LURVE. Damask Patterns. No two are alike and the details in each pattern are mesmerizing. To me anyway. I have a lot of PINK, BLACK, WHITE, CHROME, Neutral wood and DAMASK in my space. Pink, […]
Studio Find: Pantone Color Inspiration
I had planned a shot of my canvas storage when I ping’d off after I saw this book in my space. Yeah, I know, I ping’d, big shocker. I’ve been a graphic designer for a long time, no secret. The evolution of design and how I do what I do has changed and it’s so […]
Fabulous IKEA Find: Extra Workspace
I recently made a trip to IKEA, the mecca of all things organization and goodness. It’s no secret that I love IKEA. You can see another one of my fabulous finds HERE. My whole studio is outfitted with mostly IKEA finds. I can spend hours in there, skipping about, checking out all the goodness. It’s […]
ArtyStART Monday: Gouache Girl
Yesterday I shared a new color palette of GOUACHE paint I was patiently 🙂 waiting to dry. After about 30+ hours, well it finally dried to a cake consistency on the palette. Thought I’d start the week off with a little GOUACHE GIRL. She’s kind of got a superhero girl look about her. Ok… a […]
The Sunday Palette: Waiting, not so patiently, for Gouache to Dry
In purge mode, ripping through my studio space this week (which BTW, you can see some outakes HERE and HERE and HERE) I found my tubes of GOUACHE paint. These yummylicious tubes of watercolor goodness are watercolors that wanna be paint. FLUID like watercolor, but OPAQUE like paint. I’ve got some ideas. I can’t wait […]
Sketchbook Saturday: Finding Quiet
Have a wonderful weekend! This sketch is all about finding quiet. Even if it’s just for a moment of pencil to paper in between phone calls and emails and work and stuff. Enjoy!
