I love painty Artnering! 🎨✍️Here’s the finished collaborative birthday canvas at @frankydofficial art studio and a peek at backyard rock painting with @365songbird and darling little Artner Bella where our messy palette ended up being my favorite creation. Mr Duck helped, too!🐥😋 #painting #art #collaborativeart #artnerlove #artnercrush #artner #cutener #mrduck #makearteveryday https://www.instagram.com/p/CGAYON7l-zd/?igshid=fvziiu7rdw1d

This week I painted Sage Smith, a beautiful trans teen who went missing here in Charlottesville back in 2012. ✍️❤️I was still living in NYC at the time so her story wasn’t really on my radar, but I DO remember hearing about how the police treated her case with a LOT LESS immediate action than they did for a white UVA student who also went missing and made national news. #hannahgraham🤦‍♀️ So I’m thankful I got to spend time with Sage’s story and sparkling spirit yesterday as I painted her for a #blacklivesmatter rally held in the location where she was last seen.👀(Eric McFadden, who she was meeting that night, also later disappeared so he’s the person of interest in the case...) ✏️I choose to copy this particular image of her because I loved the look of sheer JOY on her face. She also loved to dance so as the rally became more of a block party I grooved with her in my heart on the dance floor...💃 And look—I also met another artist with a handmade sign! #artnercrush . . . #blacktranslivesmatter #blackqueerlivesmatter #blm #findsagesmith #sagesmith #ericmcfadden #charlottesville #justicefortonymcdade #art #painting #indiaink #blackjoy #portrait #iamagirlnow #respectit #saytheirnames (at Amtrak) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB32Y7_lArg/?igshid=60ajzz3yhe8w

Thinking of all my beautiful Artner loves on this Valentine's Day! 💖✨Especially grateful for my primary Artner 365songbird and all the loving friends who have been supportive Artners long before I even had a word for it.🙏🎶So I thought I'd share one of my favorite moments in new the book: when Mona falls in Artner love with new girl Hailey in orchestra class! 👀💘 #thedarkmatterofmonastarr #lauraleegulledge #gif #happyvalentinesday #artnercrush #artnerlove https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ju7yIlUcK/?igshid=gpc590y0w01i

Sneak peek of our cast rehearsing the beautiful song "Unplugged Chorus" from the Will & Whit musical, premiering NEXT WEEKEND!!! See my blog for the link to buy tickets. 🎟🎭🎶 . . . #artnercrush #artnerlove #willandwhit #musical #musicaltheatre #unpluggedchorus #unplugged #song #theater #rehearsal (at Belmont Arts Collaborative)

Finally read "The Plain Janes" and WOW the parallels with "Page by Paige" & my Agents of Whimsy are uncanny! (We both had message-in-a-bottle trees?!) I find it both reaffirming and humbling to be reminded that "our" ideas are alive and they don't belong to us individually. We're telling these stories together. 🌎💫 . . . #currentlyreading #amreading #plainjanes #pagebypaige #comics #graphicnovel #yalit #youngadult #books #bookstagram #cecilcastellucci #artnercrush
