Hey y'all, I'm a wife, mother, artist, and child of God. I hope to encourage you in your art and faith and bring inspiration through creativity.
For this art journal spread, I decided to try something that I don’t normally do with my art.. reuse my own art! The flower at the top left corner is actually a scanned and printed copy of part of one of my originals. It turned out pretty well, but I was missing the usual texture … More Art Journal: Day Five

I have been working ahead in my art journal so that I wouldn’t be behind with my posts. However, I got stuck on the 6th spread and ended up procrastinating a while.

Hot pink is my jam. I don’t know if it was a rebellious thing, loving pink so much, since I grew up between 2 brothers, and having a tom boy mom, but I have always loved pink, whether secretly in childhood, or overtly in adulthood. I remember for years in school deciding I loved purple … More Day Three: Strawberry

This is the second spread I made in my journal. I’m not committing to an everyday art practice, even though I generally try to come downstairs to my art desk every day at least once for a few minutes to do something creative. With a busy home life, that quiet time can be a sanctuary … More Day Two: Butterflies
I think most artists can talk about supplies alllllll day. Ok maybe that’s over the top, but there is just something so yummy about art supplies. Art supply stores are like the artist’s candy store. I want to give a little overview of the types of supplies I used in my last spread, and over … More Let’s Talk Supplies!
