This shot of @midland_shop by @nickisebastian from @dominomag is everything great about California (and design/photography) all at once 😍😍 These colors and vibes are what inspired my “General Store” painting collection last year. Still drawn to the dusty pinks and greens 🌵🌵 Check out the remaining pieces still available on my website (link in bio) 〰️ 📷 @nickisebastian 🙌
Have you seen The Last Resort on Netflix? So good if you love nostalgic photography and bright colors and old people. South Beach and I are color soul mates, if ya didn’t know. The Birdcage is one of my favorite movies of all time and makes me want to retire and live above a drag club like right now. 🌴 What movie setting would you want to live in?
New painting collection coming together stitch by stitch
A piece close to my heart from the Blue collection. Making art is like Christmas morning in a science lab for me. I love experimenting (and self-doubting) and getting excited for how I think it will turn out (and self-doubting) and seeing the thing come to life as I go (and self-doubting) and then (usually! sometimes) making something that not only looks the way I’d hoped, but really speaks to the process of making it... that’s what this painting contains: all the experiments, colors and bits of thread that lead to it. 〰️ “Ice with Red Thread” | 24 x 24 in. Original painting with embroidery. Available on my website, link in bio
Going super light and bright with the colors for my upcoming summer collection and getting lots of inspiration from nature, which is not my usual spot to look for it. ✨ I’ve been taking the time to really look at flowers lately. Not just walk by, but actually look at each one and its own perfect color 😍

I was reading an article about Jasper Johns recently where they mentioned and showed a photograph of his desk topped with metal cans housing his paintbrushes. I know that’s a generic scene that comes to mind when we think of art studios, but for some reason this image in particular struck me. Knowing that one of the most important artists of the past century still keeps his tools in a coffee can is a reminder that art (mostly) isn’t more or less powerful based on the tools that made it, but based on the mind that did, and its ability to reach other people.

I’ve shared here before that I’m not a music person really (I mean I am, it’s just basically only Adele, @lauramarling and 60s/70s folk music 🤫). This piece is from a show I did at @lacountystore where I had the freedom to take over a whole wall with love for Laurel Canyon and all that scratchy music that came out of it ✌️🌵 🌈 If you missed this embroidery piece a few days ago, it’s from the Ladies of the Canyon collection and still available on my website (Link in bio) ✌️
