Working tiny on a newbie green 💚mural
‘Best on the block’ and truly the best people to work with 🖤@cleaversphilly 🥩 🔪
Nothin’ new here, didn’t post a final shot of this one from a few weeks ago. Now if I could get myself to post every project I did & didn’t share from 2020 on … 😂
My sandy little toot angel is 3! 🥰 We’re celebrating with beach romps, naps, & lots of snacks 💕@tulathegreat
Figured it’s about time I start sharing again 😬 I took a lot of time of time off and then invited myself along on my dad’s cross country trip to Arizona 😂.
Here’s a quick sketch I FORCED myself to do when we camped at Alamo Canyon. It wasn’t easy, and it’s not super pretty, but I’m glad I had it in me … even though it was a struggle.
Got this framed and am picking it up today so I can gift it to my dad as a thanks for being so supportive and taking care of me when I felt really lost and broken. 🌵♥️
Painted with 💕🖤 for @verizon @insideverizon #acallforkindness
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 …)
Lots of feels, and projects, and changes lately. One of those changes was a move to a new studio space back in mid June. Happy to share this space with @bradcarney (lobby mural work by him in the second slide!)
I’ve always wanted to be in this building and so far it’s been pretty great. Thanks @artsandcraftsholdings 💕
♥️AND we’re a part of POST (Philadelphia open studio tours)♥️
Pop into our studio during #POSTPHL on Oct 16th from noon to 6pm and get an insider’s peek at our latest work! Tons of artists will have their doors open to the public! 🎨 You can grab a drink downstairs at @triplebottombrewing too!🍺😉

This bb got some fresh paint yesterday morning after someone tagged it. It happens, but it’s always a bummer … nice to be back at Graffiti Bar, though. (First slide is the repaired mural, Second slide shows the graffiti 😠)
Happy Labor Day, especially to my artist and entrepreneur friends, because we know this Holiday is not meant for us! 😩
I’m working on creating better boundaries for myself and my work, so the only labor I did today was inflate this BB and lug it to the beach.
Hi from Cape May Point with my mama, see ya tomorrow studio/work!
Pink. I know you’re surprised 😂💗
Thanks for the million empty butter containers @k_oday_r lol. #reuseable
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.
OMG this wall site 🙌
I’ve been working on the design for this project the past month, but it’s been in the works since last year. I have the first design review today, plz wish me luck! 🤞
Thanks @bellanojr for hanging out of the windows to get measurements with me.
More about this site if you’re not a Philly local: Philly AIDS Thrift is a community gem. Their mission is to sell the lovely, useful and interesting stuff generous people donate to their thrift store and then distribute the proceeds to local organizations involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
More details about this project coming soon!
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.
This is your light nudge reminder to sign up for the Acrylic Plant Painting Class with me & @pacrafts - class starts tomorrow night!! 💓Link in bio to sign up, or message me.
Virtual 2 part/session class: Tomorrow, May 13th & 20th, 6pm-8pm.
This class is great for beginners and also for people looking to better their acrylic painting skill.
Don’t worry, we aren’t working that big and you don’t need a lot of space! You’re welcome to blast some tunes, wear your pajamas, and keep your camera off if you’re zoom fatigued. The goal is to have fun & do something creative.
Quick synopsis of what you’ll learn: color theory/color mixing & matching, taking what you see and getting it onto the canvas, how to work with acrylics, and painting techniques and tips to get you the finished outcome you’re looking for.
You’ll leave class with a painted plant you can’t kill. 🙃
Let’s paint and chill! Let me know if you have questions. (If you’re interested in this class but can’t make it, let me know and we’ll see what we can do 😉)
Sign up at the link in my bio or head over to @pacrafts. Message me if you need anything.
