YOU’RE INVITED
Sometimes all we need is a little spark to begin.
I’ve been thinking a lot about my own art practice lately, and I’ve noticed something.
So much of what I create begins in these small pockets of time in the studio. A few marks in a sketchbook. A quick drawing. Playing with a new color palette. Picking up an idea I started a few days ago and adding just a little more.
Nothing terribly grand or precious.
But these little studio sessions have a way of building upon one another. One mark leads to another. A quick sketch becomes the beginning of a painting. A color palette sparks a completely new idea. And before I know it, I’ve filled a sketchbook or found myself standing in front of a new body of work.
And that got me thinking…what if I could share a little bit of that same little spark with you each month?
Something small. Something inspiring. Something that simply gives you a reason to wander into your studio and begin.
And voilà…Studio Invitations + Studio Sessions were born.

Studio Invitations
Every month, I’ll share a free, beautifully designed download that with a piece of my art and a few thoughtful words, and a simple invitation to create.
Nothing complicated. Nothing you need to finish.
Just a little spark to help you notice something, wonder about something, pick up your sketchbook, make a few marks, or follow an idea that’s been quietly waiting for you.
You can print it, pin it to your studio wall, tuck it into your sketchbook, or just let it be the gentle push you need to start creating that day.
Practice is not simply how we make art. Practice is how we become artists.
