WIP Wednesday - this piece is already finished, but I thought it would be fun to share some work-in-progress photos from this pre-holiday commission, to give you a look at my process. This was one of the most elaborate house portraits I've taken on. Such a fun challenge in all the little details. Swipe to see it come together!

A sweet commission I painted at the start of the month. This painting was requested by a husband, for his wife, as a remembrance for her grandfather who recently passed. Commissions have been one of my favorite things over the years, because I get to play a role in commemorating special moments or difficult transitions in life.
That said, I averaged 2 commissions a month in 2019, and my plan is to cut back in 2020, to allow for more time spent on my own designs and projects. So, if you're interested in a commission from me this year, reach out soon, before all my slots are filled!

This is what I want more of my art-making to look like in 2020 - relaxed, un-rushed, and inspired by the outdoors 🌲

Hello all - long time no see! Coming back from a month long hiatus from social media. This was not so much planned as it was simply necessary.
These past six weeks were very full for @josh_kaiser_photography and I. Much of it stressful, but also lots of good.
I found myself not wanting to post - to just focus what energy I had on being truly present to those moments of peace we were afforded during the holidays.
I'm looking ahead to 2020 with clearer focus - a rebrand is underway for my art business, and I've made some decisions to cut back on projects that put me on others' timelines.
My 2020 Goals: slow down (my perpetual life challenge), get outside often, and create more.

Latest commission! Some old homes make me wish they were a person who I could sit at the feet of and listen to their story. This north Tacoma beauty falls squarely in that category 😍

I'll be @adornedabode for Third Thursday Art Walk this week, 3 to 7pm in @freighthousestationtacoma I'd love to see you there! I will have prints, stickers, postcards and original paintings for sale.
This is your last chance to catch me with my art in-person in 2019, as I've made a decision to take a step back from commissions and events through the end of the year. Looking forward to a much-needed season of rest, time with family, and reflecting on what 2020 will hold for my art business ✌
