For me, the goal of this self-directed artist in residency is to remove everyday digital distractions in order to hone and focus on painting from an intuitive heart-felt place.

In December each year, I love reflecting on what were my highs and lows and lessons learned for each year. I thought I would share them here with you! Also a HUGE thank you to all of you who supported me this year in any way and welcome to all my new collectors and followers. This year I shipped out original work, prints, and products to people in almost every state here in the USA! I love sharing my work here in this space with you and I can't wait to dive into what 2023 holds for me.
