The Gathering was accepted for the Art Center of W

The Gathering was accepted for the Art Center of Waco’s upcoming show: Art for All and this piece was a great fit!

Join me for opening night:
July 9, 2026 | 5PM-7PM | Art Center Waco

But what about the woman’s silhouette painting? 🤔

Here’s what happened! There were actually TWO different shows that had open calls for artwork and I asked y’all to vote on pieces for “Cultivated Identity”. So I read through all the comments and got to work on my submission when I realized my mistake.

I submitted The Gathering (pic #4) and The Journey Home (pic #1 from the voting and the first pic), but it was not accepted.

Now, I’m working on submissions for the Cultivated Identity so we will see what happens next! 🤞

Dipping into collage! It is so interesting to take

Dipping into collage! It is so interesting to take something that is easy for me (doodles and color choosing). Then I explored with layers drawn before the collage and details added after to merge the layers together.

This is an exercise I did in the Color at Play mini class using the orange and blue color harmony.

Let me know if you might be interested in learning more about color or what questions you have about color in the comments!

If you have been following me, you KNOW I have trouble working very small and in a precise manner. 😅 I really do try, but I prefer crooked and wonky and delightfully whimsical!

So, I grabbed my regular to go art kit and when we got to the painting part of the tiny versal, I knew I was in trouble! I was a bit jealous of the tiny and non-porcupine-y brush that @lettersalot was using!

We had quite a chuckle about how different our tools and creative practice is. I absolutely adore her art and lettering and learn so much from seeing her practice.

Remember, there is no ONE way to be creative. Use your tools, your ideas, your skills…and MAKE STUFF!

Many thanks to @wacocalligraphyguild and @suzi150 for a wonderful Saturday program!

Swipe to the end for how to build your creativity

Swipe to the end for how to build your creativity 💕

hear so many misconceptions about creativity. So many well-meaning friends, family members, and class members want to encourage each other and go straight to praising the outcome of a creative endeavor with “You are so talented’!

I get that they mean well, but placing the praise on the inherent being of the person is counterproductive.

The core problem: praise shifts the focus from process to outcome.

When someone says “you’re so talented” or “that’s perfect,” it communicates:

• Your value comes from the result, not the making
• The goal is to produce perfect things
• Talent is something you either have or don’t

So the next time you sit down to create, the unconscious pressure is: can I do it again? Can I live up to that? The blank page becomes a performance test instead of a playground.

It also implies a fixed ceiling. “You’re so talented” sounds like a compliment but it’s actually saying your ability is innate — not grown, not practiced. That quietly undermines the whole point of showing up and working through the hard stuff.

Let me hear your thoughts in the comments!

Here is a simple way to fill a sketchbook. Pick one thing you are interested in or enjoy creating. Then repeat it on every page. This simple constraint is calming and increases creativity when you limit decision-making. #createwithsdg

Continuing my exploration with acrylic markers and

Continuing my exploration with acrylic markers and paint pens. Brush pens worked better on the glass and I was able to cover larger areas easily. The pigment load was quite different between the Sharpies and the Grabies. The big thing I have learned in my testing is that all of the different types/sets/brands of markers work differently on different surfaces. I am going to add a Krylon sealant to this. It’s definitely not food safe and I don’t know exactly what I would do with this info. BUT, they do boldly list a wide variety of surfaces that the markers will work on, so I thought I would give it a go!

Have you ever tried this? Did you heat set it? Seal it? I think it might chip off and wash off. Let me know what you know!

Hey, friends, I need your help!

I am submitting three of my paintings to a local juried show. Am nervous to do this, but these seem to align with the theme of “Cultivated Identify”.

“This exhibition centers on the idea that identity is not fixed. It is cultivated over time through culture, environment, relationships, memory, and personal transformation. From inherited traditions to self-discovery, from community influence to individual expression, we are seeking work that reflects the many layers of becoming.”

Scroll through the pics of these four paintings and comment below which ones resonate most with you!

Thanks for your help and support! 💕

Three and a half days playing with lettering and different journal styles!

What a wonderful weekend exploring different art journal techniques learning from Nancy Hays Hills. She’s not online so I can’t tag her, but I can share her spirit and her heart of kind and generous support she provided to all of us as we worked throughout the retreat.

Loved learning how to draw letters with new to me tools. I was able to practice and create at least one full repetition of each exercise and have a plan for continuing my practice at home and binding all my pages into a new journal.

I am particularly interested in repeating each of the exercises with my own creative voice as the guide and letting my curiosity take over!
