Instagram lost its mind over the fact that I made more than $5k off of this one fixture in my art festival booth. Didn’t know so many people would be astounded by a clothing rack and hangers! #artfestival #artisttips #arttips #artdisplay

Finished, I think? Now I need help with a title! My brain is total mush this week due to all the prep for Inman Park Fest. Tell me what this piece makes you feel or think of pleeeeease.

It’s been a minute, but I’m stuck on these paintings. Any thoughts as to what colors or shades it might need?

Life could be a dream if the govt would just tell me what taxes I owe. How about that for efficiency?

Best part of traveling is walking the streets, marveling at all the different types of trees and flora that grow in Seattle.

Doing my very first mural in Seattle! Well technically it’s in Bellevue, but I’m stoked to be here and so grateful that my work has brought me the opportunity to explore and experience new places.

It is extremely tempting to cancel my therapy appointment this week because I feel swamped by work. But it’s also just an hour and I know I should fight the urge to think “I have nothing to talk about”. Actually maybe I have a lot to talk about? I won’t know unless I try.

Wow it is so hard to keep up with multiple social media apps. It’s doubly tough because my audience is elsewhere, but I know I’ve got to build this too. P.S. I’m in LA for a new project!

I understand that school breaks serve a purpose, but it really puts parents in a difficult situation (as per usual) when the weather is difficult and there are barely any public indoor spaces where kids can be entertained and run around. Why aren’t indoor public parks a thing??

Painting whatever feels good to me, apart from commissions and deadlines. Just need my hands to be free sometimes.

Artist calls with huge walls but vague details are probably just a sign that they are new to commissioning public art! Let’s submit our work and kindly ask for more details before doing free design labor.

We are being bombarded by national headlines multiple times a day and it can feel so easy to slip into despair, like your singular voice doesn’t matter. Trying my best to be better and pay more attention locally so I don’t lose a grip on what power I still hold. sebintegrity.org

Waiting on hold with any healthcare insurance provider is a specific kind of hell. I don’t know how anyone gets assistance with anything if they work a standard full-time job.

Thrilled by how this canvas/mural combo installation turned out. I’m so grateful to have clients who trust me with their sanctuaries.

It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with paper?! I feel rusty in a way I cannot explain and I hate it but also am glad to rediscover my first love.

Photos cannot do this project justice, but here’s a few I snapped of the various murals we just finished in LA! Not sure what else to say about it as my brain is STILL fried.

Feeling burnt out on RFQs + artist calls. I find myself reading new ones and my immediate thought is “it’s not gonna be me so why waste my energy”. Perhaps it’s a signal to focus on painting instead. Or do I push through and keep applying?

Starting over again, I have a lot of mixed feelings. Social media is hard. Like all communication, it’s a skill you have to stumble through and practice before it feels natural. I’d love to know what you’d like to see from me. BTS? DIML? Random inspo?

Finally becoming a real grown up and officially changing my business from a sole proprietorship to an S-corp. Do art schools teach students about business growth nowadays?
