This & That

I'm so excited to get back to doing what I love. Lots of great things to choose from. See ya there.

My students make my classes so much fun. Thank you all.

WOW!!! Just wow. I got a chance to meet Jon earlier this year in Llano, TX at the LEAF festival and his work is stunning. See for yourself.

I’m not sure where or when I meet these gals but I love them. Aside from their wonderfully creative art they are just good people. I’m happy to cal...

Kelley Knickerbocker is a visual artist and instructor. I enjoy her work. I find her story of leaving her career behind to become a full-time artist and her art inspiring.  I haven't taken one of her classes yet but it's only a matter of time. Check out her Instagram and her website

Marlene of GoWithTheFlowInks, serves up bright and beautiful artworks that are inspired by the desert landscapes and sunsets of Arizona, where she resides. I hope you enjoy her work as much as I do. Follow Marlene on Instagram

The thing I have always loved about Instagram is stumbling across artist I never would have met otherwise. This pottery is whimsical and just pure fun. I don’t know this artist but I’m sure we would be friends. Check out his Instagram

Jeremy Biggers is a Dallas-based artist. He attended Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts where he primarily focused on expression through graphite and charcoal drawing. During his college years he cultivated his love for painting and photography, and they’ve since cemented themselves into his everyday life. Biggers' work is shaped by experiences that inform his view of the world. His goal with each piece is to inspire conversation.
Many murals you find around DFW are his and in February, Jeremy collaborated with Fossil to design a new watch for Black History month.

I’m was listening to “The Spiritual Artist” podcast the other day. In episode 17 Chris Miller was interviewing Artist Jackie Fuch and she was speaking directly to me.

Right at about the 22 minute mark is says…..
When an artist says, “Oh, I’m struggling”, that’s not abundance, that’s lack. We always have a choice. Am I living in lack or am I living in abundance?

Am I a fountain in the world or am I a drain?

Wow, just wow.

She goes on talking about manifestation and how quickly what she puts out there comes to her. I was just wondering what my next blog post was going to be about when I started listening to this podcast. TaDa!

Julie Shunick Brown is a contemporary artist in Dallas, TX.

I love what she has to say about her process. “My painting evolves as life does. Currently, the process is intuitive - no preconception or idea of the end result.  The work gets more deliberate and intentional as it progresses but it develops as a reaction to what is on the canvas. I focus on composition and color and the result is a surprise that often seems reflective of life.”

I stumbled across this reel on Instagram when I was avoiding work. It’s so powerful!
I have mixed feelings about it, not that I don’t agree with it, because I do. Knowing it all comes down to me is scary. Showing up for others is a cakewalk for me but showing up for myself is a struggle at best some days. That’s why when these beautiful, friendly reminders come knocking on my door, or rather in my Instagram feed, I pay attention and am grateful. Here is what Mel Robbins said.

Charlie along with her mother Erica own Bluebell Kitchen. They create amazing botanical inspired wedding cakes and macarons. You’ll have to cross the pond to go to their shop and taste their goodies.  I guarantee it’s worth the trip. Their cakes are a work of art. I’m so mesmerized by their talent. Even if you aren’t planning a trip to Kent follow them on IG @bluebellkitchen. You won’t be disappointed.
I’ve known Charlie for many years and she is as delightful as her creations.
