Hellooo👋 Just over here trying to show my face more often🙈⁠
⁠
It's been a super busy couple of weeks for me, so I just wanted to take a minute and tell you all how grateful I am for each of you! All of your support (sharing my work, liking my posts, leaving comments!) means SO much to me and honestly helps more than you know! All of those things may seem inconsequential, but they help my work reach a little further into the interwebz galaxy, and each little bit it reaches further could lead to the next opportunity to get my work out into the world even more💫 and then...every one of those opportunities snowballs into the next, and I believe one day this will result in my ultimate goal of being a full time artist... BOOM! And you guys are helping me with that! So I love you and appreciate each and every one of you who does these small, free gestures in support of my work. Ya'll tha real MVPs!!!🏆⁠

Digital color study because my back is outta whack and quality time with my heating pad in bed has become mandatory to continue on as a human🤪💀⁠
⁠
I read the other day that Frida was most productive when she was bed-ridden due to her pain, and that made me feel better because I can't stand not being able to do what I want💁🏻‍♀️ Any other chronic pain sufferers out there?? Tough gals (and guys) UNITE!💪⁠

Ready for my next mural!🖌⁠⠀

Swipe to see my fantastic assistant who happens to be starting 4th grade tomorrow😍👧🏻⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Who else has kids starting school this week? You'd think I'd be one of those moms who makes cute signs for the 1st day photo but I've never managed to do that....getting all the clothes and supplies is challenging enough😅 I do make her favorite breakfast though––pigs in a blanket!!!🥐🐷 Any of you guys have kids and fun back-to-school traditions?!⁠⠀

I'm missing the beach so much since we left!😩 I never feel more relaxed than when i'm sitting on the beach, admiring the turquoise water, booze in hand🍹⁠⠀
⁠⠀
It's been a stressful past month or so, and I'll be glad to see it wind down some. Hopefully that will actually turn out to be the case🤣 In the past 4-5 weeks I've done 3 art shows, changed day jobs twice, went on vacation, and in the midst of all of this, tried to keep my art practice and family and social commitments afloat🏊🏻‍♀️ I've been trying to cut myself some slack with my art, because sometimes there are just seasons that are busier than others and priorities have to shift temporarily🤷🏻‍♀️ ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I finally whipped out my iPad last night, sad that I haven't been able to paint in a bit. It was a nice way to fill the void☺️ ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
🏖🏔Are you guys beach or mountain people? or neither? Where my homebody homies at?!🙋🏻‍♀️⁠⠀

Hi, Mom!👋 Doesn't she look great by my astronaut ladies?! She was able to visit my most recent exhibition to participate in, which is currently on view through August 21 at the Fort Worth Community Art Center (@fwcac). I haven't been able to see it yet since I was out of town for the opening, so if you make it over there please tag me in any photos! I'd love to see them🤩⁠⠀
⁠⠀
I'm so blessed to have parents who are incredibly supportive and encouraging of my art career. They could easily look at me like I'm crazy for some of the things I do and decisions I make, but instead they travel sometimes long distances to see my work on display❤️ It means the world to me and truly keeps me going! ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
For my fellow side hustlers and creative career folks, do you have supportive parents, family members, significant others, or friends?⁠⠀
⁠⠀
If you don't, let me know and I will be that person for you! It can honestly be a game changer to have some encouragement you can count on when the chips are down and you feel like giving up🙌⁠⠀

My mood all week on vacay🍹🌊😌 (sketchbook painting from 2017)

I look forward to our family beach trip ever year—it’s a great time to reconnect with each other and spend a lot of quality time together💖

I can’t believe summer is almost over (which for me is marked by the obvious uptick in traffic for my work commute😒). If you live in DFW I know you feel this pain too😩 I also find comfort in the changing seasons. I think because you can always count on them; they never change⏰ And even though summer won’t officially be over for a while longer, school is about to start back and with that the school year cycle starts all over again until next summer. In and out, just like the waves of the ocean 🌊
What about you guys? Are you summer people or counting the days until fall?!🍂
