Merry Christmas and Happy holidays friends… from 🇨🇦….where we woke up to this magical winter wonderland. Wow. The magic was soooo needed. What a strange time. What a strange year. No posts here for a while eeeeek as was processing it all frankly. I’m still in the studio. Processing with art. And with the kids of course as we navigate this all together. I do have some exciting plans for the studio in the new year so that’s coming. But for now some peaceful holiday time to breathe and reflect and be present. And so grateful. I truly hope you have had wonderful holiday time friends and in spite of this truly challenging time have been able to celebrate even in a tiny way. Sending much love and a few ❄️ ❄️ your way. And will see you in 2021! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ #multicreative #actress #singer #illustratorlife #artlife #papersewing #penandink #penart #illustration #homeinthestudio #etsyshop #quarantineart #witnessmarks #creativemommy #showyourwork #blackworknow #inkfeature #illustratedart #mycreativebiz #whatwomencreate #artistmeetsmother #yourcreativeworkspace

This is me and amazing actors and cast mates @grabbey24 and #kristopherturner a few years ago (😬) on set with the zebra pattered arm of director @penelope.buitenhuis. We are looking rather pensive wondering when stages and sets will fully open again. Sigh. ❤️🙏 See you all again soon. • • • • • • • #multicreative #actress #singer #onset #filmshoot #penandink #penart #witnessmarks #creativemommy #showyourwork #inkfeature #mycreativebiz #whatwomencreate #artistmeetsmother #yourcreativeworkspace #discoversomethingnew #wherewomencreate #just_pen_art #drawinblack_ #inkedartgroup #blackandwhite #blackandwhitedecor

When you need an extra large circle it is good to find an antique brass French baptismal font nearby 😉 (and for added good vibes)…am I right? ⭕️ Just finished this biographical-documentary commission for a lovely and very accomplished friend and client. Thank you HD…it was such a pleasure to document and celebrate the special elements of your life. Will post more of the finished piece….but had to show the process….. (I have a bunch of studio circle forms and circle makers of course but this worked best in the moment;)) (Oh and you can see the birthday decor for my daughter in the background….artist Mom life so there ya go:)) • • • • #commissionedart #biographyart #multicreative #actress #singer #documentaryart #illustratorlife #artlife #papersewing #penandink #penart #illustration #homeinthestudio #etsyshop #eclecticdecor #witnessmarks #creativemommy #showyourwork #blackworknow #inkfeature #illustratedart #mycreativebiz #whatwomencreate #artistmeetsmother #yourcreativeworkspace #discoversomethingnew #penandinkalliance #wherewomencreate
