We just wrapped up our last day in studio for a while! I’m so thankful for my incredible assistants who will be running the ship while I’m away, gathering inspiration & fresh ideas. I literally could not do this without them. ...And little buddy, as much as you might *think* that you’re being helpful with your squawks of input, grabbing at shiny things for me, and believing that every part of the process should be a dance party... you actually are not. I know. I’m sorry. But it’s fine. I really like having you here. You win all the cuteness points and good-attitude vibes. // PS. I love to get some feedback from you before I go! I asked a few questions in a poll on my stories. Please check it out! ✨
I always get butterflies before travel. Something about the stripping away of security, familiar boundaries, and dependable routine gives me a flutter in my heart and an excitement to see if there is an unexpected surprise waiting just over there... there usually is and I consistently return to the studio with a mind full of ideas and a suitcase full of new art supplies. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I can’t help myself. I’m so excited to go on this next adventure with my love to celebrate thirteen years together & ten years of marriage. 🥂 As he always says: “ten down, sixty to go”. ☺️
In my grande attempt to scootch my internal clock forward to London time we were wide awake and festive for this morning’s BEAUTIFUL wedding. Umm... her dress. I get that it was minimalistic and all, but hello 😍 — But my real purpose in popping into your IG feed today is to cheer on these cuties. They have been such strong and open hearted little ladies and have grown SO MUCH since we were in this spot a year ago. It’s truly an honor to get to enable them; to watch them explore the world with excitement and innocent acceptance of everyone and everything. #WHPgetlost • • • • • #theprettycities #darlingescapes #sheisnotlost #ladiesgoneglobal #sidewalkerdaily #globelletravels #girlslovetravel #athomeintheworld #flashesofdelight #royalwedding #tasteintravel #girlsborntotravel #abmtravelbug #guardiancities #girlsmeetglobe #lonelyplanet #photosofbritain #lovegreatbritain #prettycitylondon #bbcbritain
Who else is waking up at the crack of dawn tomorrow to watch THE royal wedding? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ What a fairytale. In fact, we’re heading to London in a few days to celebrate our own sort of fairytale: TEN YEARS OF MARRIAGE! So proud of that and so thankful to have @danjeffords as my partner & best friend. And, if I happen to bump into Meghan, I’ll be sure to congratulate her IRL.
Gather close and roll up your sleeves. Open your mind and let your heart rest in beauty. The most powerful aspect of a #WillowGathering is reveling in the space away from daily life; filling your cup, restoring your creativity, and clearing your mind. I personally LOVE watching this happen before my eyes: the melting away of inhibition and stress. It never ever ever gets old. So beautiful to watch humans come to LIFE. 😭🙌🏽😍
My muse is growing back. I look out my window and see green crawling and creeping over *everything*. It’s actually rather impressive; these determined little vines. I cut them back, preserving space to walk and drive and live, and feel a bit mournful about it as if I am interfering with a grander plan that the one I have in mind - but I’m stronger so I win... and then I paint as a celebration of life and vitality and the balance we find together on this beautiful earth together. Hopefully. 🌱🌱 // photo by @juliamaddensears
