Welcome to my Spring Update 💝.

I’m out for a hike today welcoming Spring and reflecting on the last several months. Since I left the corporate world in 2020, I’ve passed through so many gates. I have expanded into so many upper limits. Some, I navigated with grace. Others, I crashed and burned.

The theme in my life now is growing my capacity for receiving abundance. I’m becoming willing to have an abundance of time, energy, love, friendship, education, art supplies, soulmate viewers of my artwork, and opportunities to use my gifts. I am willing to receive, and I know how.

When I have a huge artistic breakthrough and I crash and burn, it looks like getting scared of my power and running to hide, camped out on the couch in depression for four days. I take a great leap and have a great crash.

Instead of keeping that pattern going, I’ve been saying YES. Instead, I asked for help. Instead, I feel my feelings. Instead, I separate my fear from my anger, and my fear from my “NO.” Instead, I feel all my feelings and open up choice.

My Top 3 Updates

1) Breakthrough!

After many months of exploring different styles of art, I returned to my roots of big abstract figurative painting. This was a breakthrough experience where I allowed myself to use line again instead of just value to describe a portrait. See the full painting and read the whole creation story here.

Sorry, this piece is already sold and installed in its new home. Visit my Art Portfolio to see more of my work.

2) I’m Helping People Recover Their Creativity

I’ve lead two cohorts of people through a 14-week program to recover their creativity, and just started Cohort 3! I feel honored to be called in to do this work.

If you, or someone you know, are ready to reclaim their creativity, explore what I’m offering at the link below. It’s truly transformational!

3) I’m constructing a painting the size of a small house.

An idea for a very big painting performance came to me in my morning pages on March 17th. Weeks later, and ~$1,000 in supplies and labor, I have a giant canvas ready to prime. When I look at it in my studio, I stop breathing and want to cry. Working at this scale requires a slow, measured pace due to new safety concerns and x10 complexity of everything involved. It’s a fitting totem to where I’m at in my expansion. I’m ecstatically appreciating that I’m following this whisper of inspiration to completion! I’ve upscaled and asked for help to get here. At 234 square feet, this piece is completely audacious! Stay tuned for more about it.

I want to hear from you!

If it’s been a while since we’ve connected, or we don’t even know each other yet, I’d love to connect and learn about what’s happening in your life. This link will give you access to my private family/friends scheduling link. Reach out and learn more about what I’m up to.
