It’s my birthday, and I’m too old for pulling all nighters outside in the cold for mural painting … but I did it anyway. ♥️🖤 🤍

Thank you to everyone that has reached out and for all the birthday love. It has been an especially difficult time, so it is nice to be thought of. I appreciate you.

Also, both of my parents referred to me as peanut today so I’m feeling like a very young 37 year old 🥜 ☺️ (I mean 25 …) ...

Pink. I know you’re surprised 😂💗

Thanks for the million empty butter containers @k_oday_r lol. #reuseable ...

Happy Birthday to this guy 💗 🌊 🌞 ...

Very Monday like of that one little stray bristle 😠😆 ...

Shapes and paint strokes, a love story 💓 ...

The palette in this mural section matches Tula’s bed prettaaay, prettaaay good. Can’t keep it though - it gets installed today! I did a great job with the in progress shots 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ jk, there are none. Priority rush jobs mean I ain’t got time fo dat! ...

Pretty happy that I’ve followed through with a yoga practice first thing every morning recently … with the exception of yesterday because I woke up with an “emotion hangover” (even more reason not to skip yoga 😬).

SO, on that note, if you’re interested in a yoga practice & you live or vacation ‘the shore’ I’m a part of a great new yoga collective called @thecoastalyogacollective 🧘🏻‍♀️ We’re a group of friends and yoga instructors offering concierge yoga and wellness.

Check us out if you’re local or vacationing this Summer! Link is in my bio or visit us here: @thecoastalyogacollective!

Tula is only available by special request 😂🐕 #greatdanelife ...

So first, this feels very awkward and vulnerable … this is my ex. And second, I have 3 paintings (of exes) in a show at @varwestgallery in Milwaukee curated by @andreaguzzetta. OPENING TONIGHT 6-9pm!

The show is called “Before We Broke Up: An intimate look at love lost” 💔

I’m grateful and honored to have work in the show. It’s been forever since I’ve exhibited my work. When the opportunity came my way, I literally pulled these out of storage, dusted them off, and shipped them to Milwaukee in hopes that someone would find love for one of these paintings and in turn take these exes off my hands. Thank you so much to @varwestgallery & @andreaguzzetta for including my work.

🎨 To inquire, purchase, and view other work in the show: contact @varwestgallery

Little extra note here about this specific painting (and not the person): this was one of the last oil paintings I created. I discovered murals around this time and my ideas about art changed, as well as my chosen medium. ...

I’ve just been over here designing, planning, and stressing for upcoming projects. Very little painting going on lately, so here’s a throwback to an oldie at one of my favorite past art studios. 💕 #sharktownstudios ...

Peony season. 🌸 This peony print and more are available in my shop!

Original 12x12 oil painting also available. I think I’m finally ready to part with it 🥲 Message me to inquire. ...

You’ll leave class with a painted plant you can’t kill. 🙃
