In 2018 I figured out how to turn my part time side hustle of selling artwork into a full time business. I still work part time 2 days a week at my day job, but it’s helped me go full time art, with my day job as a side job! - If you’re an artist that wants to live off your earnings as a creative, my creative hangout @empoweringcreatives on Facebook is a great place for you! - In ECC we inspire each other to be the best we can be. Just yesterday member @lou.m.art shared her blog post with the group, not only was it a moving read, it also had free info to help creatives thrive. - Do you belong to a wonderful community of artists with unconditional support?! Why not join? It’s completely free! Just head to the link in my stories and swipe up to join 😊💗
Last Fall I made this painting and promptly painted over it. I thought it wasn't good enough. It didn't represent my skills. So I got rid of it. - Looking back, I now realize I objectify my artwork. I hold it to unbelievable beauty standards....I don't do that to myself, why would I do that to my art? - My next collection will be embracing the imperfect- and the raw beauty of my brushstrokes. No more hiding behind lines! - Have you ever done something that you would later regret, but you learned a good lesson from it? - Comment below and please share with me 💗
$459.99 “Otoño” (swipe) - I’ll never forget the first time it happened to me. Sometimes, when painting and listening to music, suddenly I’ll remember a delightful memory from my childhood. Something that was hidden away in the back of my brain for years. It’s almost as if creativity unlocks precious memories. - While painting, I get so lost in the moment suddenly my brain is able to unlock memories I had forgotten. - For this painting, I couldn’t stop unearthing memories about friendships with every brushstroke. I hope whomever buys it also finds it unearths happy memories for them too. 💕 -
When I turned 12, suddenly I felt the need to express myself. I felt I didn’t belong, and I wanted to distance myself from my peers somehow- I wanted to stand out and be different. - I decided to dye my hair black. I hopped on my bike and rode to the local drug store to buy hair dye in a box. I guess you could say that was my first true art experiment! I did not rock black well! - After college I stopped dying my hair, and I’ve been wearing it natural since. I now use my art to express myself, because I truly think my natural hair color is pretty as is. - Can you recall the first time you felt the need to express yourself? What did you do? I would love if you commented with your story! 💗
I haven’t allowed myself to paint with magenta in a while, because once I open a tube of it, I put magenta on ALL THE THINGS!!! - But why should I deny myself this happiness I feel when I experience this pink? I love it! - Is there something in life you just keep going back to? Something that just feels right and makes you happy every single time? Comment below and tell me about it! - Pictured: 16 x 20 in fresh off the easel.
Right now I’m extremely drawn to warm shades like orange, crimson, sienna and bright turmeric yellow. I’m highly inspired by the #michigan Fall leaves that are starting to turn color. - As a kid I loved looking for the most unique leaves I could find. The more colors in the leaves, the better. 🍁 I always found the lines on the leaves themselves fascinating, too! - What colors are you currently drawn to? Are there colors you would like to see me work with? Comment below ! I would love to know 😋
