Day 100!!!!

we did it! thank you thank you for watching me. we did this together.

i am still speechless about what i have learned. everyday i am seeing a thread that leads me back to these doodles.

you will see over the next 2 months how i use these drawings as a filter for the work that i am about to dive into.

if you could see how i feel, you would see me twirling around in a beautiful open field, with my face open to the sky, my hands open to the air, my heart full of hope, and my feet planted barefoot on the earth. i feel so held so guided so sure. for those who “really” know me, know this statement hasn’t come easily.

i love you!!!!!!

can i do it?!

before wax, fabric was my first LOVE. honestly i think it still is. even though will always pull me to test the limits, fabric pulls at my heart strings. so…can i do it? can i make my shapes into fabric that might even include wax?!? oh my…well let’s see what happens.

on april 30th i head out to for an improvisational fabric design class with . my mind is stirring with all the possibilities. stay tuned!!!

day 50!!!!!

the birds are chirping, and so am i. i am proud of myself for sticking with this 100 day project, and thrilled that it is the halfway point. already i love looking back at the drawings i have made. so many inspiring shapes to riff off of in the future. i am hoping to pick my most favorite one at the end and print it on something…not sure…tshirt? dish towel? canvas? help me…what do you think? i would love to see all of them at one shot, but i don’t know….hmmmmm. sending you all love!❤️

making flowers in my studio!

i am always amazed at how something can transform so dramatically. i hated the i created on my today, but i forced myself to cut it up and make an …i love it! these experiences are good for me to have over and over again. making something, hating it, pushing through, trusting the process. let’s all repeat that!

I am talking about…


This little collage is made of cut up encaustic monotypes made on my . Before I start to gush over encaustiflex I want to mention how i am in a profound study of SHAPE! Of course the beauty of shape has so much to do with color and texture, but i am getting naturally high off of the shape journey i am on. Ok, so back to encaustiflex…have you tried this “paper”? Is it paper? No, not by the traditional definition of paper. It is a highly absorbent microfiber, and it LOVES wax. my dear friend, colleague, and mentor brought to the encaustic world. She is an excellent teacher and fabulous artist. Leslie thinks outside of the normal tool box, and for this very reason…we have encaustiflex to play with! When i took my first encaustic printmaking class with Leslie at my mind was captured. I have been playing with encaustiflex for about 7 years. It still captures my attention, and i know i haven’t pushed it to its creative limits. Lately i have been cutting up the multiple stacks of monotypes i have created. IT FEELS SOOOOO GOOD! At first i thought i would just fussy cut rectangles and sew them onto cards. Well that turned into a deep dive of cutting different shapes and getting them to talk to one another. I find my mind and body begging to be in the studio to do more. 🌈. Anyway, if you are still reading this, THANK YOU. I will have encaustiflex to sell at the

Kevin and i will be there with our beloved baby

i love you!
