Everywhere we look, AI is creating reports, images, movies, ads—it is everywhere. So how do you know when you come to my site if I have used AI? The easiest answer is: ask me. I will tell you. AI is not my go-to for creating this site or the work on it. Yes, my website might look far more polished if I turned the design over to AI. It could probably offer me better colors, layouts, decorations, and all sorts of fancy things. But then it would not be entirely my vision or my w

Some of my paintings looked like they were completed during a Carolina hurricane. After staring at the mishmash, I realized those awkward paintings often taught me more than the pretty ones. "Whoa!" you may say. "How can that be?" Let me explain what I mean by ugly. I'm not talking about art that's bad. I'm talking about art that isn't trying to win a beauty contest. When someone is learning a new creative skill, the results can be messy. Imperfect lines, spilled paint, paste

We spend much of our lives searching for answers. How do I become successful? How do I find happiness? How do I earn more money? How do I discover my purpose? We search books, listen to experts, ask friends, and sometimes spend years looking for the one answer that will finally make everything fall into place. Yet many of us aren't really searching for an answer at all. We're searching for the right question. Success, for example, isn't a destination everyone defines the same

There is something deeply meaningful about seeing art move beyond the canvas and into everyday life. What once lived only as paint, color, and texture in my studio has now found its way onto clothing, tote bags, mugs, and other pieces designed to travel with people through their daily journeys. The Hearthflower mandala began as an exploration of mindfulness, warmth, growth, and inner reflection, but transforming it into wearable art gives it a new purpose — becoming part of s

Products are making their way back into the web store! The process of converting and resizing everything has been a bit tedious, but I’m excited about how much cleaner and more consistent the results are turning out. Switching to a stylus and tablet with Rebelle 8 has made a big difference. It allows for far more accurate sizing compared to scanning my traditional paintings and drawings—and along the way, I’ve learned more than I ever expected from the process. What started a

I recently had to pull a few items from my merch store for a bit of behind-the-scenes fixing. They looked perfectly fine as thumbnails, but once printed, some distortion showed up. Chalk that up to being new at this whole merch process—lesson learned. So, I’m going back in and reworking those pieces, this time using Rebelle 8 instead of Paint or Corel Draw. It offers far more control over resolution, along with a deeper set of tools that feel much closer to working with real

Gift cards are now available for anyone who wants to share something meaningful, but let their loved one choose what speaks to them most. They can be used on sessions, mugs, water bottles, pet bowls, postcards, and more—each piece created with intention and inspiration. And for a truly unique touch, items like the coloring mugs invite the recipient to become part of the creative process, transforming their gift into something deeply personal.

Art isn’t just something to hang on a wall—it’s something you can carry with you, something that can gently remind you to breathe, to find joy, and to keep reaching for the stars. I’ve added a collection of inspired pieces to the shop so that a little bit of that energy can go wherever you do. From pet feeding bowls to stickers, mugs, and drink bottles, each item is designed with intention—meant to bring a moment of calm, a spark of happiness, or a quiet sense of encouragemen

The magnetic canvases are a wonderful way to display artwork, without a frame or wall space. Anywhere a magnet sticks- your art can be displayed. The lighting has dimmed the colors a bit and the rough spots on the canvas are enhanced, but flaws aside, this was a fun project. I am not sure if I will do a tutorial for it or not. It was one of those sudden idea things.

In the Fun section, I uploaded the first of a series of color_by_number style projects. Print out and color using the guide, or create your own colors! I used a computer program to make the projects neater than hand sketching, but I may add some hand sketches here and there. Computer art programs have so many features, and I don't have to sharpen pencils or wash a brush afterword. But drawing with a mouse is not easy, pencils feel more natural.
