A full-circle ⭕️ moment in the studio today—

A full-circle ⭕️ moment in the studio today—I picked up this commission piece I created over a decade ago! My client is now working with a designer and asked if I’d be willing to remove the varnish and update the painting with a more neutral palette. Absolutely.I know not every artist would take on a project like this, but I love the idea of revisiting past work and breathing new life into it. Art evolves, just like our spaces and tastes, and I want my collectors to be 1000% happy with the pieces they live with every day.I can already envision how beautiful this piece will be in the end—refreshed but still carrying the history of its original layers. Would you ever update a meaningful piece in your home to fit a new chapter?

Soft, shifting layers of blue stretch across this

Soft, shifting layers of blue stretch across this piece, a quiet reflection of the ever-changing sky. A flock of birds, touched with 23-karat gold, moves through the open space—weightless yet full of purpose.

This alcohol ink painting, adorned with a 23-carat gold leaf flock of birds, brings a sense of movement and light to any space. I’ve styled it in a few different rooms—each with its own ambiance and story to tell.Which room speaks to you? (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8?)The final images offer a closer look at the painting itself, showcasing the delicate details and golden glimmer up close.⚜️#BalanceInBloom #charlotteartist #artistofthecarolinas

I recently tried something different—using black

I recently tried something different—using black alcohol ink on a canvas board. My goal was to create a dandelion, a reoccurring theme in my work, but the process turned out to be more challenging than expected. I used 99% isopropyl alcohol to remove dried ink from the board, but it didn’t come off as easily as I’d hoped.Despite the difficulties, the end result was captivating. Still, this experiment confirmed that canvas boards and alcohol ink might not be the best match for my process. I’m always learning and evolving, and I’m grateful for the unexpected beauty that sometimes comes from these creative trials.What are your thoughts on experimenting with new techniques?⚜️

Let’s draw! ✍🏼 🐦‍⬛Today, I’m sharing a simple tutorial on sketching birds in flight—an easy, expressive way to tap into your creativity. No pressure, no perfection needed—just grab a pencil and have fun with it. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

Soft blues and quiet grays flow together, forming

Soft blues and quiet grays flow together, forming a calm, open space. A flock of birds in 23-karat gold leaf moves across, catching the light as they fly through a cloud of ink. There’s something about watching birds in flight—the way they shift and move together, carried by unseen currents.Where does this piece take you?

Carried by unseen currents, they rise together—each wingbeat lifting another. A quiet rhythm, a shared path, a golden thread in the sky.

🪽 Sometimes the ink reveals something before I even see it. A faint wing emerged in one of my pieces, and I couldn’t ignore it. So, I followed where it led—another hawk took flight.Here’s a glimpse into the process. What do you see in the layers?

There’s a red-tailed hawk that has been circling

There’s a red-tailed hawk that has been circling our neighborhood lately, always just overhead, always watching. I keep noticing it—something about its presence feels significant, though I’m not sure why. When I was working on this alcohol ink piece, the movement and colors felt right for it, so I let it in. Maybe it’s about perspective, maybe it’s about connection, or maybe it’s just about paying attention.Have you ever had an animal keep showing up in your life?

Creative day 31 of 31! ⚜️I hope you’ve enjoyed this past month of daily posts—it’s been more than I usually share, and now I’m shifting back to creating in a slower, more expansive way. Lately, I’ve been exploring alcohol inks, and I’m excited to dive even deeper into that process alongside some larger works.Thank you for following along—I appreciate you being here.Oh, and today’s my birthday! So there’s that. 🎂 💃🏻
