Hello lovely readers, I hope your week is going along beautifully!
I wanted to announce today (a few days late! Sorry!!!) that the winner of the TAOS 2018 Giveaway is...
On Jan. 4th we launched our subscription membership and if I told you I wasn’t scared, I’d be lying. Like really scared!
By doing this, I stepped into expansion. I stepped into vulnerability and I edged ever closer to my fear.
The night before, as I tossed and turned, I kept thinking about words from Rebecca Campbell‘s book, Light is the New Black -“Jump and let the universe catch you.”
Today, I’m beyond thrilled to give you a preview of what’s to come for our Creative Community. I would like to invite you to take a look inside something very special that we’ve been working on for you…
Most recently, I have started the Artist’s Way book and journaling practice. It has already been life changing and very exciting! This book has a long legacy of helping blocked creatives and fostering a healthy artistic life and practice.
Here's two special bonus projects for you as we go back in time and visit my very first online class - Whimsical Portraits & Dreamy Landscapes - A Mixed Media and Encaustic Workshop.
I'm excited to share this second Colorflow video tutorial with you! For this lesson we will be drawing inspiration from page 112 of the Colorflow book!

Hello creative friends! How's your week been? We are in the big thaw out after waaayyy too much snow in Portland. What a mess. So, I've been cozy inside having far too much coffee in my brand new mug BUT look how cute it is!
Look, don't ask me why but fun mugs make me happy! THIS mug makes me VERY happy! It also completely describes my life! When I fill it up to the brim with yummy coffee and head on up to the studio, it makes me smile. Now, that, my friends is a good way to start your morning, right?
So as you know, when I LOVE something - I like to spread the word! What better way than to do a GIVEAWAY of three of these mugs to fellow creative friends! To kick it up a notch, I'm throwing in a $20 Blick Art gift cards too! We all know you can't have too many art supplies. ;)
This fabulous mug was created by the lovely Brooke Davies from Arrowcreek Goods. They have a lovely shop full of gorgeous mugs and they do custom work too! Make sure you go pay Brooke a visit.
Good luck!
