How it
Started
“What makes you happy?” At the end of 2024, I found myself thinking about this a lot. I was stressed out and I needed to make a change. My amazing hubby had been nudging me to start painting again. I painted a lot growing up, taking a number of classes throughout high school, but not much since.
So I made a New Year’s resolution, bought supplies, watched some Youtube & Instagram reels on how to paint with oils (a new medium for me), carved out a space at our kitchen counter, and dove in. I haven’t stopped since. It’s the only resolution I’ve ever kept…
What I
Paint
“Painting is now one of my favorite ways to spend time. It’s brought me so much joy, peace, and a touch of purpose. I paint at least a couple hours most days. Painting anything and everything, but what I love painting the most are memories from my other passion: travel. I strive to capture the love and joy I felt in these moments. It’s not about realism, but the vibe and emotion of it all. I want people to look at my work and just feel good, feel happy. Life is too short to not find things to do or even just look at to make you feel happy.
