Needle-OR-Thread

Had a delightful photoshoot with Faliesha Dawne Photography for an upcoming project (still a secret, but I’ll be sharing soon)!

It’s always so easy to be in front of Faliesha’s camera, and I highly recommend if you’re local to the Willamette Valley of Oregon!

The next few months will look a little different here on my page! Starting in September I’ll be returned as a long term music substitute while my children’s wonderful music teach gets her other knee replaced! (Yep, if this is feeling like dejavu it’s because I did this 2 school years ago when she replaced her first knee 😉).

For those of you that don’t know me super well, prior to becoming a full time artist I was an elementary music educator! It’s been really fun to make music again with little ones and it’s a fun way for me to balance work/life and avoid burn out with my art!

I’ll still be here, but you’ll just notice a little less content!

Love to all of you! 😘

Not many workshops in August! I’m winding down as I start gearing up for another school year to start! I’ll be putting workshops on pause, or teaching them very sporadically September - December, as I’ll be long term subbing again at my children’s school 🙂

✨Surprise✨

I’ve been working on a Pre-Recorded Course on how to create this 9x9” sunrise/sunset Kinusaiga landscape! I heard you loud and clear that sometimes you can’t attend an in person or live virtual workshop—my hope is that this course is the answer!

In this course I share:
-what my preferred tools are and why
-how to choose colors and fabrics to create a painterly composition
-Tips and tricks that I’ve learned work the best for my method of Kinusaiga.
-this template, created two ways

You get to move at your own pace from the comfort of your own home! Link is in my bio and I’ll share it to my stories too! ❤️
