[Image Description:

Start. Here are two photos with aerial views of rows and stacks of bookmarks that have a black base coat and background with individual colors drawn on each bookmark. The flower chosen is a rose; drawn with abstract line work. A swirl or spiral for the rose head, a single line for the stem, and petals with leaves that are drawn to show they have fallen off the core flower. This photoshoot took place in bed; where most of these pieces were painted; forev a bed of roses. Stop.]

In my "soft art auntie" era 🩷🖤🤍 . . My "art studio" is my bed and two small folding tables ✨ ️And all my photoshoots? My phone and amazing lighting 🤌🏾⚘️ . . I cherish art, fashion, music, and community; they save my life ✨️

When I create or intentionally pour into a project, I always dress for the occasion; even if I'm in bed, even if I'm in pain, even if I have panic attacks, even if I have seizures, even if I'm exhausted. It took me decades to cultivate this ease, this calm, this peace, this energy, this mindset, this awareness, this vibe. ⚘️ . . Energy, commitment, balance, and authenticity matter. So does showing up.

Happy Birthday bestie, Kelly Luckmann I love you to bits 🩷🖤💚🤍 Coolest kid on the block, with an entire color named after her (Kelly Green 💚💚💚). That's why the pink & green makes sense, as her favorite color for comfort (& rebellion) is pink 🩷 *enters #Blondie stage right* 🖤💚🤍🩷 (Showing up, present and accounted for, just like we talked about all those many moons ago, just like I promised; July 31st 2025 I slept and cried that entire day. I had so much guilt + grief that I didn't know where to put it. Last year, I wasn't ready; this year? I am. With bells and whistles on 🤍💚🖤🩷)
