***2022 LIFE UPDATE!***

It has been a looooong couple of years, hasn't it? I don't think anyone was prepared for what 2020 brought us - or how long it lasted! All I can say is that I am very thankful that COVID restrictions finally appear to be easing and we can all slowly get back to life as (the new) "normal".

After a two-year break, I am finally back in my studio creating again - and it feels amazing. 

This pause has given me some time to reflect on my journey as an artist over the past 15 years, and to assess the direction I want my career to go moving forward. I have a ton of new projects in the works for 2022 that I am so excited to share with you guys!! This is going to be a bit of a long post so grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine) and get comfy ;-)

NEW WEBSITE

First, my website has been given a much needed refreshment - complete with my new logo! I have used the same logo since 2006 so it was definitely time for an update!

​My website now links to my Society 6 Shop where I sell Canvas Prints and Paper Prints of my paintings, as well as a huge selection of merchandise featuring my art - including phone cases, throw pillows, coasters and more!

I will be slowly updating my social media pages over the coming weeks as well... You can connect with me on Instagram or Facebook. I also have a new YouTube channel which I'll talk about in a minute.

NEW PAINTINGS

I have a new series of paintings in the works! I am currently working on series that explores unusual ways to recycle old canvases - The Recycling Project. I plan to release this series by Fall 2022. 

NEW SERIES
​COMING FALL 2022

The Recycling Project

SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER

This project was inspired by a studio cleanout I had to do when I moved last year. I had piles of "in progress" canvases that had been collecting dust for years, and I had to decide whether to keep them (and put them into storage) or toss them into the landfill. I couldn't bear to throw them away! I put them into storage and promised myself I would do something with them at some point... so, this series is that "something". ​

NEW STUDIO VLOG

Another new project I am working on this year is documenting my creative process. ​I have been filming my new series from start-to-finish and will share these videos once the series has been completed. I have always kept my creative process relatively private, so filming is definitely out of my comfort zone!
