More sunflower inspiration. 🌻 Interested in bringing some spring color into your home? Message me🌻 My inner critic/grinch is complaining about using excessive amounts of paint but it’s the only way that I know how to conjure up the brushstrokes that I love. . . . . . . . . #abstract #abstractart #modernart #sugarlandtx #houstonartists #contemporary #contemporaryart #instaart #artforsale #colorhunters #creativelife #artstudio #studioscenes #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking #sunflower

Inspired by sunflowers today. Surprising myself with being able to paint with a lot of stress and noise from a kitchen reno going on. #sunflower . . . . . . . #abstract #abstractart #modernart #sugarlandtx #houstonartists #contemporary #contemporaryart #instaart #artforsale #colorhunters #creativelife #artstudio #studioscenes #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking

Just really enjoying the process of this spring green piece today. Feeling the anxieties today but also the strong pull of hope that even those things will pass. 🌱 #partoftheprocess . . . . . . . . . . . . #abstract #abstractart #modernart #sugarlandtx #houstonartists #contemporary #contemporaryart #instaart #artforsale #colorhunters #creativelife #artstudio #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking #artistmom

Life felt so complicated and roughed up this last week. I think my palette and composition are reflecting the simplicity, serenity and the sanity that I want. Painting feels like healing today. . . . . . . . . . . . #abstract #abstractart #modernart #sugarlandtx #houstonartists #contemporary #contemporaryart #instaart #colorhunters #creativelife #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking #paintingmakesmesane

It’s been a minute since I’ve been in my studio...spring break + big house projects have been consuming. With my sanity at stake I’m sneaking in some time today. #paintingkeepsmesane . . . . . . . . #abstract #abstractart #modernart #sugarlandtx #houstonartists #contemporary #contemporaryart #creativelife #artstudio #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking

Got myself outside yesterday. Needed to breathe deeply and get my hands in some dirt. I’m no expert gardener and try to only choose hearty native plants but it still feeds my soul just to get out there and try. Could not stop staring at these fallen camellia blooms. Grey-browns against brilliant pinks. Soaking in the inspiration. #camellia . . . . . . . . . . #feedsmysoul #playoutside #houstonartist #abstractart #sugarlandartist #pink

Our Years, Our Days. $50 + shipping. 14x10 acrylic, color pencil on Arches Paper. I love this color palette! For the longest time I stayed away from pinks. Hesitated to use them in my art and hesitated to admit that I really love pink in my life. I was afraid of a stereotype of a lack strength. Now I’m embracing it and enjoying it and feeling worthy of it. Part of this evolution has been years in a relationship with someone who embraces both strength and vulnerability. For me that visual language often represents itself in pink. #pink . . . . . . . #abstract #abstractart #modernart #sugarlandtx #houstonartists #contemporary #contemporaryart #instaart #artforsale #colorhunters #creativelife #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking #homedecor #interiordecor #interiordesign #originalart #womenartists #creativelivingbeyondfear

I was looking at slabs yesterday since we are going to do a kitchen reno and came across this stunner. It’s a granite called Roca Montana and is one of the most beautiful pieces of stone I’ve ever seen. Sadly it is way out of our budget but it was nice just to soak all that gorgeousness in. I was really struck by looking at all the slabs yesterday and realizing all the beauty, this art, is just waiting underground. So many analogies there, right? . . . . #creativelife #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking #homedecor #interiordecor #interiordesign #artistatwork #womenartists #creativelivingbeyondfear #rocamontana
