Going to working weekends unless the studio* time inspiration hits - all emails, ship outs, and pick ups will be arranged on the weekdays.

Woof. Not starting the week off in the best headspace but it’s one day at a time as they say ..

Postpartum is fantastic thanks to my parents. I’m really trying to not beat myself up over the fact that I need help, but it’s very hard. I’m healing finally really well… still having some grace for this body that does not feel like my normal, but we’ll get there.

The layers of personal grief and anger are clouding my inspiration mind right now. Feeling really hopeless in a lot of ways.. not sure how to give myself the time to really figure out how to transpose that into art when I feel like my timeline is dwindling down.

Still trying to get to a positive place, succeeding some of the time 🌸

Paintings being picked up from various venues this week so if you were hoping to have a painting earlier rather than later (not sure when my next trip will be) now is the time to collect 🌸

Trying to muster some creative energy, but the healing is still in progress.
I’m so excited to feel the overwhelm of “figuring” it out in the studio again. An anxiety I am fond of.

Paintings getting picked up this coming week and then processed & shipped the following week. So far three 🦋 if you are interested in one and aren’t sure if you’d receive it in time now would be the best time to purchase as I will be able to arrange is quickly for it to be ready for pick-up or ship-out. All online 🌸

Thank you for your support! When available paintings are purchased right now by people who have been looking at them as “theirs” for some time, I’m just so appreciative. With everything going on in the world, it’s nice to also be of value and be able support my family financially. So again, thank you 🙏 🩵

- my body is almost ready for studio time. I’m just trying to figure out a schedule and how to keep a house with three adults and two bb’s more organized. When you work from home and your job requires a lot of storage this can be tricky 😅

Three weeks with a new bean. Sleep is about as good as it was the first time, but my brain is dealing with it better. Breastfeeding is less tiring than it was last time; mostly I’m just struggling with it being every couple of hours and then trying to pump so that I might be able to do stuff outside of the house by myself.

Aside from that I am so happy it’s spring, the days are longer and so is the light.

Things I’ve been thinking about in the daze:

- he’s so cute. Wow, so long and that was made of and housed by me!!
- how amazing sound is… these babies will eventually hear what it sounds like to run beside barnacles on large ocean rocks and hear them and their tiny crowdlike cheering, to hear the creaks that sound like floors and stairs in old character homes of logs and trees in a forest, the rustle, thump, and sway of wheat stocks in the wind beside and against each other.
- how to incorporate all my “motherhood” feelings and iconography into my art somehow

Emails for pick ups have now gone out :) only three left to organize.

Currently figuring out the schedule and getting use to the constant 2 hour wake ups again + toddler.

There are important things I need to figure out and pivot now within the year and I just feel all the emotions on the daily. Not being able to do much physically really lets you ruminate.

Taking the time for my squish though and waiting on this body to heal enough for better daily activities and PAINTING 🥹. I’m so excited that I have help this time around and will be able to actually eventually start physical workout activities again. Last time I felt so paralyzed to make time for myself because I couldn’t find childcare / didn’t know how to prioritize it financially and kept feeling like that shouldn’t be something to spend money on — that I should just do it myself and somehow also figure out a time and energy to do everything else with a demanding baby literally strapped to my hip. And I think we all utter those senseless words to ourselves that fold themselves deep in the crevices of our brains, “other women do it”.

I’m lucky to have help this time around, I really am. I never found myself as the other women.

Thank you so much for the warm congratulations on my new lil bloom. ☘️

I’m taking this recovery better mentally I feel in most ways than I did last time. The sleep deprivation isn’t as bad as before because of the help and my body didn’t go into an overwhelm/anxiety/crash out state this time around. Obviously c-sections are no quick bounce back, but I felt way worse after the first V 9 lb birth than this one- less pain, more coherance, but probably a longer recovery to being less swollen and normal. (That first period of time after surgery when they want to take out your catheter so you need to get up… the incision pain was next level - worse than anything I’ve ever experienced, wow)

This time around I can actually remember his first week, last I could not with how things played out and my body felt after labour.

This one comes with waves of sad for circumstances/feeling alone but also so much gratitude for the sweet newborn and meeting of this new soul. (That newborn smell is THE best 🥹)

I will likely be taking this week and next off and then organizing orders that have been made up closer to the week of 16th to the 20th. I will email you next week though! If someone is passing through that needs their order earlier just dm or email me please, we can try and make it happen.

Well I wasn’t expecting that.

Went in early labour, progressed much quicker than last time — 2nd time with those loving contractions ❤️ a planned/emergency c-section later and we’ve welcomed the second best thing I’ve ever made (equal to the first).

Last full free-ish day before the next smoosh and our caccoon together. We are nearing the meet cute 🌾

I’ve been writing all these other captions these days that are more depressing than not so I don’t post them. It is part of the human experience to go through all of many small heart breaks, missed opportunities, ad sacrifices and even as an artist I am afraid to share because although an “everything will be okay”, may make you feel better, it does not for me. The issue is that I don’t know what will make me feel better. I leap from slippery stone to slippery stone the last two years to only flail my arms in protest to falling under. There are situational aspects to it, but so much of it feels mental. I never want to be fake about where I am in life, and yet I also don’t want anyone to see me as a bleak ember of potential that whisps in and out with an indivisible wind. It is all duality. Even the perception people want you to have of them. I am here, wishing to be present fully, healthy with my boys & and I am there wishing to be fully encased in creating art and having people enjoy me and it. Aspirational & content.

39 weeks yesterday - pretty confident this will be a March baby? Keeping sane by making spring decor for Eli’s play room & baking gifts. You’d think nature would make you feel less run down before giving birth and the crazy few weeks following for healing & breasfeeding/getting up all the time. But it does not. Wild.

My little goose is going to have to share the apple spot in my eye come Feb/March 2026. ❤️ 🍎 💚 🍏

For this I am so excited. Eli has always been so social while still being very attached to me, and I just wanted to give him a buddy. It will be my last baby, and even through my hard I will remember it’s just a season. Then there will be two boys who are besties and their artist mum. 💕

Another along a long list of reasons why painting has not been very easy to get to 🌸 I hoped to take a cute bump & Eli photo of myself but alas I am not that organized and aesthetic atm
