I knew last year that 2024 would be our final year of live workshops. I knew it more than almost anything else and that was way before we had any inclination of moving. When we started offering live workshops here at our home and studio over eight years ago, we were a family of five […]

| The library in our current home is one of my favorite spots | It has been four weeks since I shared with you that our current home, land and studio was for sale. During the past four weeks we held our last three live workshops here at our current studio which consumed our whole […]

I wanted to share more of what I am reading, watching, listening to and learning etc. There is so much beauty all around us and we have to be intentional to make sure that what we consume (watch, read, listen to, learn) feeds us in beautiful ways. BUT the other message I know to be […]

  How do I wrap up in words what the past eight years have meant to me, my creativity, the confirmation that what I can dream up I can walk out, the impact on our family, our hearts, our business, the relationships, the laughter, the tears, the collaborations, the hard work, and the building of […]

YEARS AGO we were hiking in the mountains around Vail. As we came out into a meadow I saw a woman sitting on a rock with her watercolors out and capturing the field. As we passed her I whispered to Kelly, “Someday, I want that to be me”. He answered why would I wait and […]

I am constantly in awe of the beauty that is all around me if I have my eyes open to it. Sometimes I find it in late night conversations around our kitchen table, listening to the words and music coming from the hearts of our kids, seeing little boys becoming men, Kelly dancing with Maddy […]

  One of the questions I hear most often is in regards to the art books that sit on my round coffee table in the studio. I love books and they fill our home and studio and they are a constant source of joy and inspiration for me. While I am in the studio creating […]

Thank you for reliving with me the journey to our current home. It was wild, faith building, beautiful and at many points heart crushing. So many emotions came back up as I re-read my heart from eight years ago. I am reminded again that the Lord gets my attention with home. I actually can’t think […]

The changing of seasons can always be an invitation for reflection and sometimes change. It is a physical reminder around us to take the time to notice the changes within us. Whether you are finding yourself in need of finding beauty and rest in the slower season of winter or maybe you are truly in […]

    I guess I knew I was a maker almost before I knew anything else was true. Like breathing, I knew to make.   I was the maker on the sidewalk with chalk covered hands, in the front sunroom of the house on Center Street playing school, under the big pines writing in my […]
