I’ve been doing a lot of drawing with ink these past couple weeks. It’s basically the mood I’ve been in. 🖤🏴‍☠️🐈‍⬛

My birthday was on the 28th & of course I celebrated with a new sketchbook. Here’s the first piece of not just a new year — but a new decade as well. #sketchbook #visualjournal #painting #worksonpaper

I’ve got a thing for painting in sketchbooks. Not

I’ve got a thing for painting in sketchbooks. Not just “painting” — but dedicating each book to a specific intention. Sometimes it’s tied to a medium. Sometimes it’s a color I’m gaga over. Sometimes it’s a place or season in my life — a whole era, sealed between two covers.

This specific book is all about my raw emotion — feeling what I’m feeling & pouring it onto the page.

The rule I set for this book: Don’t cap the energy. Don’t tame it. Don’t make it “something.” Let the emotion lead. Let the painting be what it needs to be.

When I showed up here I felt like I was drowning in grief. So I drowned the page in water and color. The paper warped, creating a womb. I moved the pools of blue with my fingers, then grabbed a red pastel and dragged it hard across the surface until the paper ripped. The water rushed to the tears like blood filling wounds.

And that was it.

That was the painting.

Not a “background.” Not something to fix or decorate later. Just raw, unflinching expression. No apologies. No polish.

16 years ago today I hosted my very first in-perso

16 years ago today I hosted my very first in-person retreat. It was at @andrea_leblond’s Terra Vista Studios. Who would have thunk that I’d go on hosting multiple international retreats EVERY SINGLE YEAR since — including the infamous 2020.

Want to hear something even more wild?

In 3 weeks I’m hosting my first online retreat, it’s called Root & Release.

It’s for artists who ache to feel fully alive — who know their painting practice isn’t a hobby — but the pulse of their being.

For artists who are done, done, DONE sacrificing their studio time, silencing their desires, & starving the needs of their Artist Soul.

For the artists who crave the mystical and untamed — who are willing to face the unknown, to court mystery, and to awaken their own raw magic.

For the artists standing on the edge — ripe, trembling, ready to burst open and let it all spill out — yet still held back by the invisible grip of fear and resistance.

For the artists who would do anything to drop into their bodies, feel the fire of their Artist Soul, and create with wild, uncompromising freedom.

Even way back in my art school days, I’ve never been fond of painting on canvas. I love to paint on paper, period. And you know what I love maybe even a tiny bit more than painting on paper?

Pulling the tape off when I’m done. 😜
