Spent yesterday packaging up angel card sets and making heart cards as a way of being productive but sandwiching it with self-care. Some days that is all we can do. (7/365) . . . #thejennuinearticle #inthestudio #makearteveryday #mydevotionpracticeisart #

Yesterday would have been my late father-in-law's birthday. I thought about him all day. It's been almost four years since he passed away yet his memory and legacy of love are still missed daily. He was a quiet, gentle giant in our lives. He and I were mo

This valentine uses vintage stamps, paper doilies, hearts cut from large sheets of watercolor paper I've painted, and those teardrop shapes I make from paper scraps. There is very little wasted in the studio! When you weave it all together just right, it
