• I haven’t posted anything in a while, honestly because I was scared. And I didn’t want to add to the noise and spread fear. So I took some time away and sat with my own feelings. But what I think we could all use a little bit more connection, hope and peace, because although we are all living in times of uncertainty, one thing is for sure: we are all in it together 💛 And you know what? Nothing is permanent. This too shall pass. And even though I don’t think things will be quite the same, I do think we will come out of it better. I don’t know exactly what “better” will look like, but I do hope we all become more resilient, kinder and more at peace with ourselves. If we can truly be with ourselves, with our own feelings instead of constantly running around and away from ourselves, we can find meaning amidst chaos and help each other through it all 💛 . P.S.: Click the link in the bio to read a blog post I wrote about navigating times of uncertainty P.P.S.: There’s also a video about it 😉

  • We went to this beautiful place on a whim, just the two us and the dogs. Each of us with different expectations, but not a clue of what we would find there. It's a little village in a small island in the middle of nowhere surrounded by beautiful wild nature and sheep (lots and lots of them). This place is magical and special for us in different ways ☺ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We arrived in the morning and stayed there with the pups all day. There were tennis balls and sandy beaches involved. Running and fetching, and strolling on the beach. Days of light and joy. Of walking barefoot and laying down with panting dogs by our sides. Stillness all around 💛 I'm thinking of this place, this moment in time, but it's really that feeling, that pure moment of contentment. Of being surrounded by what really matters and nothing else. That moment of peace and stillness. And joy. I'm always moving forward, but memories like these are what keep me grounded and that's where inspiration comes from: stillness. contentment. gratitude 💛 . How about you? What makes you feel grounded? What brings you the most joy?

  • I get asked all the time why I don't usually paint the background in my paintings, why there's always so much negative space. The truth is, I not only like it, but it also brings me so much peace. There's something really soothing about it and I've just realized that it spills over to other areas of my life. I need negative space, I need white walls and only a few pieces of furniture. I need silence and breathing room. It's calming and grounding. And it makes the things that really matter, pop. Just like in my paintings ☺ . Raise your hands if you need a lot of white space in your life too🙋🙋🙋

  • Shuffling through memories of water splashed summer days filled with sand, dog hair and adventure 🐶❣️ I nerded out on the beach with a stack of books and not much direction - How naughty, huh? Taking time off felt good, nurturing and replenishing. It felt great not having to do anything and just be. And it gave me energy to start working all over again 🎨 . So, explain this: Why is it so hard to go back to a routine? A routine that I love and crave, mind you. I have all this energy, all this inspiration all these paintings inside me, but my monkey mind is jumping all over the place with zero focus 🙈🙉🙊Can you relate? That can’t be just me… right? 🙃If you’ve ever felt that way, can you share any tips on how to bounce back? I’d love to hear your thoughts. … . PS: swipe to see more pics 😉

  • I’m always transported to a completely difference place whenever I’m painting and always a little shocked when I see the end result 🤓 My first reaction is always: “How did that happen?” It’s never what I had in mind in the first place, it’s always a bit of a surprised. Watercolors have a mind of their own and it’s always a dance between leading and letting go. Some of the most beautiful things I created happened when I stopped trying to get them to do what I wanted and just enjoyed the process. 💛 Can you relate? . Letting go of control and expectations is a beautiful (and often times hard) thing to do, but it is so worth it 🥰 I never regretted it, but it’s definitely not something that comes easy for me. And I love capturing moments like these to remind myself of just that: to enjoy the moment and let go of all expectations 💛 . Swipe to see more 😉

  • Oh, my! The new collection is finally here and I can’t wait to share it with you 😄 I spent a lot of time creating something really special and it feels both exhilarating and incredibly vulnerable to share them like this 😬 . I feel like these are my babies and there’s a mama bear in me that keeps thinking: “What if people think my babies are ugly? I need to protect them.” 🙃 But then I realize that’s crazy talk, aka procrastination and fear and I just push through it. ‘Cause you know what? I’m really proud of what I created and I want them to be in the world, in people’s lives and homes. And I want them to bring you as much joy as I had creating them 💛 . These were inspired by spring in Ireland and all the new light and life it brings. It’s all about softness, freedom, light and movement. 💐 Swipe to see more pictures 🌿 . Click the link in the bio to buy and enjoy free worldwide shipping on any of the new paintings 😉
