Before I tackle a painting I premix the colors I plan to use. I store them in little jars on my desk. I probably have about 30 jars! - Here are my favorite shades of blue. Which one is your favorite?! 🦋
Although my love for art ignited in college with art history classes, I didn’t actually start painting until I was writing my dissertation for my master’s degree at age 23. I was really stressed about writing a 75,000 page paper that determined whether or not I passed or failed. - Earlier in the year my partner Ollie had given me a watercolor set with watercolor paper. When he gave it to me initially I was depressed and put the paints into a drawer for 2 months. They sat untouched. - Fast forward and I’m stressed, my best friend in Wales at the time was home for a holiday, and my partner was working. II had nothing to do so I decided I’d finally crack open my paints. - Since that day I haven’t stopped painting. Originally, I used art as a reprieve, and now I paint out of joy. What’s something you discovered later in life that you love? - - -
Although this is technically a “Nadeau mini,” it makes up for its size in boldness and beauty. - “Balancing Act” 8 x 8 in - available for purchase. My minis go super fast, and therefore I typically don’t list them on my website. Because of this I’ve made a specific mailing list for mini paintings. If you sign up you’ll be the first to know when my series of paintings under $100 is live. Link in my bio - For more photos of this piece, visit my stories and live!
This is my favorite photo of me! My partner took this pic right after I declared my 6 foot by 4 foot commission masterpiece finished. You can tell I was proud of myself and what I accomplished! - Since that commission, paintings have been selling left and right and I’m busy with commissions too. My business is booming and I am just so happy and excited about my dreams coming true. I can’t thank you each enough for all the support you give me on my journey. I love each and every one of you. Thank you again for joining my celebration of life 😊
