Happy Friday!

I’ve been preparing for our next Paint Club later this month, by painting fashion couture pieces that I adore. And I can’t wait for this theme for class!

Things have been challenging in the news & world as of late. Despite all that, I am going to continue to paint, and host my monthly Paint Club to allow us to connect creatively together.

I’m trying to be more mindful of boundaries and how much time I spend on social media. It is always a tricky balance, because I use social media for work and also to spread positive messages. Especially to girls & women. But I’m human, and the news of young girls and women being abused with no justice at all is so hard for me to digest. It seems like we keep hitting new rock bottoms. And I am a true empath, which means when I hear a story of someone being hurt I can often feel the pain. As odd as that sounds to some, I think it’s also what has made me an artist. I feel things very deeply.

You’ll see some of the pieces I have created this week that I thought might inspire you all….to create things that bring you joy. I’m trying to find moments where I can turn off my phone, play some music and light some candles. So I encourage you do to the same if you’re feeling like me.

Join us for Paint Club on Feb. 25th at 3PM ET or Feb. 26th at 7PM ET. All classes are recorded, so if you can’t attend live you can always watch the playback.
