90 degree weather this week has made it feel like summer rather than the last weeks of winter. And while I know the warm weather won't last, I do love that it has me dreaming of spring. 🌷🌻

I have a handful of photos in my camera that are straight from my vision board. 😍 What I'm loving right now is using those old pics to inspire new journal spreads.

You can try this too. Find a photo that resonates with you. Grab a pen (we don't want to waste time erasing) and sketch out a portion of that scene on your journal page.

The goal isn't perfection or total accuracy. It's about sparking creativity.

Life lately. It has been a season of deconstructing and rebuilding--and this time, I'm leading more space in the margins.

📷 Traveling the UK through the eyes of my oldest child who might share my wanderlust gene. 💗

I recently discovered that my mom loves getting mail.💌I should have known this years ago--she always sends me cards. Sometimes the love language we speak is the one we most want to hear.

So I've started sending her "one take" postcards. They're little creations that I dream up and don't allow myself to edit. Today, I combined a sticker from the Imaginarium collection with a wash of watercolor. 🌊

Sometimes I know exactly what I want to create. Other times, the ideas unfold in the process. Still working on this one. We'll see where the pen takes me. ✍🏼

A little glimpse behind the scenes as I'm re-creating some of my favorite doodles as digital art.✨

Sometimes I'm drawn (no pun intended 🤓) to paper and pen. Other times, creating on an iPad is provides a fun escape because I don't get nearly as hung up on mistakes.

When I first began my drawing practice years ago, it was to help with anxiety. It worked. Then, when that same practice brought me joy, I hid it away. Joy in the face of ongoing world tragedies just felt wrong.

Now, I've realized I make art to bring light to a world that feels dark. ✨
