Finding My Style

The most creative actions I have taken since having Graeme have been such tiny ones, but all that matters to me is that my artist self is fed and I am learning that it doesn't always mean with my paintbrush or scissors.

Doing things like getting a picture framed or even putting together Graeme's outfits are little creative acts that keep my juices flowing. I feel like it has been good to have some time away from the studio to reflect and fill the well. I trust that I will cutting and pasting again soon enough.

 I have been thinking a lot about how my style has evolved over the years. I started out by collaging post cards every day about 7 years ago. I tend to love both a minimal and busy abstract look. In the piece above, I feel like there is actually a balance - there is open space, messiness and scribbles.

Do you ever notice how favorite paint colors pop up in your living space or wardrobe? Here are a few images from my home that have colors that I LOVE to paint with:

1. Duvet cover from West Elm
2. Thrifted canisters
3. Lampshade from Target

Do colors from your paint palette show up in your everyday life?

Dear Graeme // Week 18

Dear sweet baby of mine:

You are at a super fun stage right now. You are quick to smile and you have quite a hearty laugh. You just started eating cereal and you OWN that spoon, what marvelous skills you have my sweet.

We are starting to really get into a groove, I feel like I am a more confident mother to you. The changing table continues to be your happy place and it is such a pleasure to watch your curiosity grow around your pup Maisy Mae.

One of the most endearing things about you (there are only like a million!), is how when you nurse or when you're in your car seat you need something to hold onto. I love it most of course when it is my shirt or my fingers. Just look at those eyes of yours sweet boy, I could stare forever.

Big, BIG love to you,
Mama
