Merging with Canvas
Those eyes! When I saw this photo of my movement artist Belly (@adambelinda) I knew I needed to paint her. One of the things I appreciate most about her is how solid she is in her role in this world as an artist. It permeates out of her and into those around her. She is both in this outer world we are and in her inner world. We only get to see part of her.
One of the things I do really well is knowing when to stop. The part in me that wants to conform to completeness was BEGGING me to fill in all the white parts of the canvas and paint over the drawing. And I knew I couldn't do that. Part of her is not of this world and can't be defined.

It's me! Every new style I paint in, I like to do a self-portrait. The inspiration photo was taken along Lake Michigan after a long coach training retreat with @consciousleadershipgroup. My year-long experience in this program forever changed me. Today, I'm letting in more abundance, love, and overflowing with gratitude for getting to work and play in this life. I have so much gratitude for all the people who've supported me on this journey of coming home to myself; to my inner artist child. Much love y’all.
