Clematis with an Oriental influence. I’m in love with the rhubarb and custard colours of the Aquilegia leaves, especially with touches of Cornflower blue. ...
I must have flowers, always, and always.

We are in the middle of a heat wave, and I have been too hot and tired to make anything new. I did think back to one of my favorite pieces from last summer, and thought you all may enjoy it too.
This is the photo I am holding, framed, in my profile photo 🤍
——
Artist statement:
I’ve been feeling sort of lost in the woods lately. Tired, sleepy - that end of summer slowdown where you feel like you’re moving in warm molasses. Some kind of fairytale dream sleep brought on by the dust motes floating in the golden rays that filter through the branches of nearby trees.
We forge ahead, and we know that around the bend of the hottest days of the year, is autumn. The promise of the crisp fall air returning. Leaves turning to a blaze of golden fire and crows starting their seasonal song outside my window.
Darker days and hot coffees. Back to school for so many. I’ll be at a bus stop before I know it, on any chilly morning, with steam swirling up from my mug. Seeing the world finally painted in moodier tones, as I send my child off with sharp brand new pencils, and her special new clothes.
The AC will be removed from the window, the shorts put away. We’ll resume the ability to don a sweater, the pants will make a blessed return in our closet. I look forward to these things every year. I also look forward to my work morphing into fall. I work seasonally and autumn is a bountiful time to be creating.
This piece is just a bit of summer’s last breath. It was made on the kind of scorching day where everything was wilting beautifully altogether, and I wanted to capture that feeling before it faded into nothing.

Survived the gauntlet of florists waiting at Trader Joe’s at the crack of dawn for those peonies. It’s high risk with $10 peonies at stake. So… what month should this be for the 2023 calendar? I feel like May might go well with surviving the gauntlet vibes. ...
For everyone who voted in my stories about the color of Dahlias I got at #traderjoes “pink” was right, although I could have taken them all! I was finally able to shoot them last night, the light was beautiful but the mosquitoes were rampant. Anyway here’s one that made it to the final cut. See a pullback in my stories.
In photography there is a reality so subtle that it becomes more real than reality.”

Details from my piece “Still Life With Dogwood” - swipe through for the full piece 🤍
Prints are available in the shoppe and the original artist statement is below 🤍
What’s your favorite tree?
———
Artist Statement:
These pink dogwood blossoms are among my favorite flowers, even though they come from a tree, and don’t sprout up alone in the soil like other flowers.
Besides being such a lovely color, they’re one of the first trees to bloom in springtime. A symbol of rebirth and hope. A reminder that something beautiful can emerge after a long, hard winter.
If I am to go anywhere on foot, I pass through a corridor of dogwood and holly, before a bridge that leads me to the road. Somehow they make me feel safe and welcomed on my walks. They’re familiar friends I’ve known in different places all my life. Standing guard, nodding in the wind to let me know things will be ok.
Being that dogwood are symbols of hope in many places in the world, I created this still life with the thought that we could all use some hope these days. I added some tiny butterflies, also a universal symbol of rebirth, transformation, hope, and change - flying to and fro between the petals. They felt like they belonged here.
I hope this work brings you peace, if only momentarily 💕

Wana know a secret🤫?⠀
⠀
This Lisianthus, Roseanne Deep Brown, was a total accident!⠀
⠀
I actually ordered Brown instead of Deep Brown, but she paired so well with everything, and we all loved her so much, we're growing her again next year! ⠀
⠀
A good reminder that some mistakes are just part of a grander plan☺️⠀

Phlox comin in hot.
Possible favorite filler🤔?
All photos 'Cherry Caramel' Phlox but pic 2 Creme Brulee (love both)
I mean, really, give me all the phlox. While I don't particularly enjoy harvesting them, they are next level in every other category. They add such a delicate touch, even though they hold up quite nicely for how fragile they appear. And I mean, the fragrance, I swoon.
Are you a fan of phlox…other favorite fillers🤔?

A story about doors.
When I was a child, I imagined a lot of doorways to different worlds. Different places and times. Each unique, and beautiful. Little me spent a lot of time alone, reading, drawing, daydreaming.
My father died when I was 7, and after, I struggled to keep my head in the real world. I had received a notepad from someone a few years after his untimely death. I don’t remember who gave it to me, and it was a very odd shape, like an arched door. I immediately saw the possibility of this book.
I began to draw my my doors. Castles, jungles, faraway planets. My imagination was full of hundreds of fantasy novels already, but I never drew Middle Earth or Narnia. These places were all mine, a tiny escape hatch for me, and me alone.
When I felt scared, alone, or sad, I would simply open the book and pick a place to visit. I would close my eyes and imagine I was there. It was so comforting and calming to know that my worlds were always there waiting for me.
As I got older I lost the book, but I still imagined the doors. Sometimes they weren’t even fantastical imaginings, but simply better futures that I used to motivate myself to change my life. Portals to possibility. I still visualize them constantly.
I imagined the door that took me to art school. I imagined the door out of an abusive relationship. I imagined the door to my creative career. I stepped through all of them and never looked back to see if the entrance I came from was closed. I knew more would open.
Every piece I make is a doorway as well. An idea once hidden behind lock and key in my mind. Every day, I walk the hallways, holding a ring with many keys, looking for the right one to open.
When I still had the book, my favorite door to visit was a field full of wildflowers and greenery. A snow capped mountain in the distance. The flora was so lush, it had creeped out of the frame in my drawing. I decided it was time to recreate it in a photograph.
The window is from starstrungmanor and I am so very honored to be able to use items made by the hands of my friends in such a personal piece 🤍

Artist statement for Blackwood:
I waited patiently for the blackberries to grow again in the yard. I snipped each stalk, pricked each thumb, said hello to many bumblebees, and ate quite a few berries during the making of this. There is, quite literally, a lot of my blood in this piece.
Creating this work felt like weaving a spell that Merricat would be proud of. This book means a lot to me as does all of Shirley Jackson’s work. The way she writes speaks to my soul in a way that is hard to articulate. She knows every secret magic, every ghost in the walls.
I feel a kinship with her books, I try to do what she did with my own work, making something that is still but somehow alive, something quietly vicious, beautiful, and unsuspecting. Something that makes you look twice and not see the same thing each time. I hope that Shirley would be proud of this piece. I sure am ❤️

That feeling when you’ve found the right person to support you and your business ✨✨
The Ivy I has a new member joining our team of feminine magic & I’m Happy dancing all over my new trello board!
I’ve known that I’ve needed a VA for a while now but like most small business owners we battle on, do all the things, load that plate up & for whatever reason, find ourselves resisting.
Well no more, introducing the lovely & oh so organised Georgia from status.virtual
We’ve only just begun but already there’s a lightness, a relief, a knowing that the admin side of things will be elevated to a place I can no longer take it, but that I know she can.
I know handing things over, trusting another, engaging help whether it be via a mentor, staff or partner is a big decision to make but do you know what separates the businesses that thrive & those that stay stagnant & stuck?
A mindset shift.
Rather than can I afford this? to a can I afford not to!
Knowing where your genius zone lies & where it doesn’t.
So now that Georgia has arrived I can get back to mine!
Right here, working with you, sharing my passion for business & designing with nature and more importantly making a positive impact.
So things might get a little more sparkly, automated & beautifully timed here shortly
&
I
Can’t
Wait!
