Studio Notes:Vol. 60 Happy Earth Day! Earth Day is always held on April 22nd, and has been yearly since the 70's. That being said it all really started in 1969. In 1969 there was a massive Oil Spill off of Santa Barbara and that kind of became the tipping point. 2025 Earth Day Sticker People were noticing changes within our environments, and the ill impacts humans were making on our environment and climate. These things were specifically noticed by Senator Gaylord Nelson, a junior senator...

Studio Notes:Vol. 58 Hey there! Well this is a lil weird, and I can't believe I didn't send a Studio Notes last week!👀 Maybe you didn't even notice, or maybe you did!? Either way, I more often than not, write these emails in "real time" on the day they go out, but last Wednesday I was painting! I was kinda in the groove and time just got away from me, and I thought about stopping to write, but things were just flowing so I just kept going! The week before last I decided I wanted to work on...

Studio Notes:Vol. 57 Hey there! Hope you are having a lovely week this week! Last week on Wednesday I took the day to get out of the studio to photograph some new stickers, as well as see all of the Azaleas in one of my favorite parks! So today I thought it would be fun to share some lovely photos from the day! The day started as a normal day, morning coffee, packing orders, sending emails and all of that jazz. After lunch though we ran to the post office ticked off a few errands and then...

Studio Notes:Vol. 56 Hello there friend! Hope you are having a lovely day! Are you enjoying the days of later sunshine? I know I sure am! Finally starting to feel more like a season I like! It feels cliche to say its been busy when its in fact not been busy, but yet like I was busy. The shop side of things have been a lot slower the past few weeks, which does feel a little weird, but instead of stressing and thinking to much about it I've been trying to work on new things! Plus prepare for...

Studio Notes:Vol. 55 It's been a particularly lovely day outside. The lighting feels as if I should have been outside all day, and just now coming in to shower, and slather lotion all over and relax with a comfort show. Thats not been the day tho! 🙃 I actually sat down to sketch some ideas, and did so, and they were coming out pretty fun. So I then went to the next stage, and eh. Things just aren't working quite "right". I'll let you in on it tho! Earth Day is coming up and its one of my...

Studio Notes:Vol. 54 Hello there! As I write this at 9am its actually getting darker out rather than lighter! 🙃 I don't know about you but I always work better on bright sunny days, but hopefully today can still be productive, I do have a lil to do list in mind. Today might actually be the day I finish up the first new lighthouse of the year! I feel like its been a bit since I really added a new lighthouse to the lighthouse collection. I think the last one was either the Mount Dora Lighthouse...

Studio Notes:Vol. 52 Hello, Hello! Its rainy and cold out today, Fake Spring is officially gone and its back to winter in North Florida. Bummer! So what's been going on in the studio this week? Honestly a lot of computer work. BUT, I do know one exciting thing that has happened since the last Studio Notes email! I finally launched my Substack! I mentioned it last week, and now its officially live! Check it our Here! If you have no clue what Substack is, it can truly be a bit different for...

Studio Notes:Vol. 51 Hey there! Wow, anyone else feeling a lil overwhelmed? I have so much I want to say, things I feel like I should say, and things I probably shouldn't but want to.😂 So yeah overwhelmed is a good description of where I am at, in this very moment. I asked all of my Instagram friends how they were (are you following over there?) earlier this week and it seems as if a lot of us are on the same page. Which while that page isn't great, its nice to know we are all on that same...
