inspo, currently

Hi friends. A weekly or bi-monthly newsletter moment? Keeping it flex on the frequency 😂 She'll be simple. A cute little breakdown of things that are inspiring me currently, what's coming next, and what's happening in the studio and life. I say currently because my interests change swiftly and often as the true MG I am (if you don't know about human design go dive in). Right now what feels inspiring to me is manifesting into the artwork I am creating but who knows, in a few months this could be about drumming and canning pickles.


Ok enjoy 💕

.01 life

victoria finehout-vigil singing at new york songwriters circle

Very inspired by my friend Victoria this week singing her original songs @ the New York Songwriters Circle. She's incred, go follow and listen (links in my recs!). Us Victoria fans call ourselves Vigilantes. Get into it! Vigilante for life! She does it all. Gorg voice, writer, actor, dancer, aerialist, pole dancer...Isn't it just so great seeing multi talented humans embracing all their multiple talents?! INSPO! GOALS! THIS NON LINEAR LIFE! I ASPIRE! Truly inspiring as a multi passionate girly myself. It was also so awesome and inspiring to hear the other artists and voices in such a cool format.


Went to Sugarlift Gallery last night for the opening reception of Celia Lee's Love Language. Very inspiring to see her work IRL and the SCALE of the largest piece wow. Truly a feat. Check it out if you are in NYC. 

.02 in the studio

A commission I've been working on for AGES in the left pic. It might actually be at a point where I start over. It happens. And I will say, oftentimes when I'm creating a commission, or a piece for friends (which this one is), I am much more critical and in my head than when I have no expectations. It's a difficult balance to find sometimes...


On the right a little shot of all the craziness happening at the same time. I often work on multiple pieces at once both on the wall and on the floor. My scatter brain can jump from piece to piece when I feel inspired by something, that way I'm not judging pieces too hard (like I am for this commission) and it can be more free and intuitive.

Cute little mark making paper studies from last week all framed up in matting and ready to hit the site. If you're looking for something more affordable, but is still an original piece, these paper studies could be great for you!


Stay tuned next week they will be available on the site.

a closer look at the work in progress

Realizing I'm still in this same color world as last week! we're liking her! This piece is a work in progress but I'm loving the watery gradient background and these white marks that are more defined and popping forward. As always will be exciting to see where she ends up.

A lot of talented friends around me doing very cool things, i'm so so proud of them all I must tell the world!

Libby App


This app is so cool. Connect your library card number(s) and then you can borrow digital copies of books AND audiobooks from your library all through the app. I use this mostly for audiobooks because I like to listen while I'm painting. Sometimes you have to wait until a copy is returned (just like the library hello) but it is 100 worth it. Free audiobooks OK!
