This week has been so chaotic. Take some time for yourself and relax. Coloring relaxes your mind and lets you center your emotions.

Start the new year off with a resolution for relaxation.

My Tufted Titmouse holiday cards have arrived! In a few days they'll be available at my favorite store, Carlberg Farm, and I'll have them with me at the NSAA Holiday Art Show at 21 Brix Winery on December 6 and 7 (along with lots of other giftable items!).

Wear your heart on your shirt or your bag or your postcard.

Today I want to share why I draw. I have chronic pain. I've had it since my first botched spinal surgery that disfigured my torso when I was 14. Some days it's manageable but many days it isn't. It's robbed me of the life and career I dreamed of as a little girl.

Something special's coming! I’ve been working on a coloring book. I can’t wait to show it to you. Tomorrow, I’ll share the inspiration for it. See you then!

Happy Earth Day! We're having a beautiful, sunny day after a lot of rain and thunder yesterday. The trees are starting to bud and Spring is in the air!

💙💙

New project alert!

Get ready to color! My next newsletter, coming out next Tuesday, will have a free downloadable image from my upcoming mandala adult coloring book. If you’d like to have a bit of fun coloring a mandala and getting updates from me about upcoming events, 1/2

Wishing everyone love, peace, and purpose, especially anyone experiencing pain or loss this year. May 2025 be kinder to us all.

Stickers make great stocking stuffers and right now, they're on sale! Link in comments.

On Small Business Saturday, consider buying my cards and other items that would make great gifts. If you buy one thing from an artist, it makes a difference in their life. If you buy one thing from a large company, they won't notice. 1/3

Happy last Thursday of November!

I just checked my Red Bubble shop and they're having a big sale now through the weekend up to 60% off! I have lots of things that would be perfect gifts for you or your loved ones. Thank you for supporting an artist!

I have a new drawing up in my Red Bubble shop! It's a Great Blue Heron. One of these beautiful birds lives in the marsh near my house and I wanted to share a drawing of him.
