Detail of a WIP. I find that when I haven’t painted for a while my first attempts look like someone else’s work, like I’m trying it on for size. I just need to push through and continue to search for what’s really me and my true voice. . . . . . . . . #abstract #abstractart #modernart #sugarlandtx #houstonartists #contemporary #contemporaryart #artstudio #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking #true

Making the big shift into summer schedule. Have been so tired but am somehow riding a wave of renewed vision and excitement for this season.

Abstracting figures in painting class with @joanmoodyartist today. Another affirmation that good creative things still happen when you hit resistance and you show up anyway. Thank you @erinnwith2ns for the coffee and encouragement. ☕️ 12 x 14, acrylic on canvas. Interested in this one? DM me. #abstract #abstractart #modernart #sugarlandtx #houstonartists #contemporary #contemporaryart #instaart #artforsale #creativelife #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking #abstractfigure

Studio time today. Yay! Busting out all the colors because it feels like it’s going to be a rowdy summer and because just getting paint on paper feels so good. . . . . . . #arttherapy #abstract #abstractart #modernart #sugarlandtx #houstonartists #contemporary #contemporaryart #colorhunters #creativelife #artstudio #artistatwork #texasartist #emergingartist #markmaking

Friday night we went to see the James Turrell Twilight Epiphany Skyspace at the Suzanne Deal Booth Centennial Pavilion. It was so fantastic. Pictures could never do it justice. You just have to go and experience it for yourself. I was a little surprised by the effort I had to make to quiet myself down so that I could enjoy and immerse myself. Definitely had the monkey mind going on. Thank you @tripchandler for the suggestion. You were spot on! We even went to @yoyoshotdog afterwards. And if you’re interested in learning more about James Turrell, I highly recommend this awesome podcast episode from A Piece of work, https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/samantha-irby-gets-high-light-turrell-flavin/

So sometimes all your creative juices get poured into the kitchen reno that you’ve always wanted. And it takes its toll and then some but you are so glad you did it! 💕☕️ And huge thanks to Brandi @luminoustrends for endless patience and help with our lighting! #interiordesign #kitchenremodel #kitchenreno #kitchenisland #leatheredgranite #sugarlandtx #creativelife #texasartist #lovemykitchen

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
