I am excited to share a sample of my one-of-a-kind hand painted ornaments that will be available exclusively at the this Saturday!

It has been so fun (and a little daunting) dipping my toes back into painting and I think these ornaments have turned out so beautifully!

There is a very limited supply of them (10!) so if you want to get your hands on them, come on the early side.

If you’re on my email newsletter, no one has yet claimed the special offer, so get on it if you’re planning on attending the market this Saturday.

Happy making & happy holidays!

My first year selling my own artwork has been a series of highs and lows so far. My first market was a wild success and my second was the exact opposite.

Both these scenarios were filled with opportunities for growth and seeing them this way has helped keep me stay grounded and able to focus on my next goal.

(Let’s pause to appreciate the new booth branding and set up with BIG thanks to who printed my banner and stencil, and all my prints and stickers - and to my husband who built that amazing pegboard display - AND to for being the biggest sweeties and lending me their table/tent for the market season - I 💕 this community so much)

One perk of having a slow second market was that I have so much less work to do to prepare for the and I can focus on a few fun new additions I was hoping to bring and really elevating my booth and customer experience!

Even though the sales were poor, I was still able to enjoy myself because I got to share a table with an incredible fellow artist and friend ! Check out her beautiful paintings and ceramics and if you’re in the area, you can find her originals at

Tickets are available now for the - which will be SO cute and festive and an excellent market for rounding off any last minute holiday shopping with local artists and vendors, sipping cocoa and being serenaded by the NM gay men’s choir while your partner and kids ride the trolley with Santa 🎄

This poem, this doodle, a somatic practice held so generously by .embodiment.institute - for feeling and moving through grief and rage and fear and all we carry, together. Lunch with a dear friend at a small diner while a wet snow fell outside. These are what I managed yesterday.

Last night we drove south to Tucson. It happened to coincide with NMs first snowstorm and something about trying to out drive the storm felt apt in the wake of this election. We’re a little sad to miss the snow, but more excited to bring Alma to the city where my husband and I met. The one that shaped our young adult lives and instilled my connection with the desert southwest ecosystems and still holds so many of our loved ones.

May we rest in each other, finding support in the connective tissue of our relationships. The liminal, the silence, the spaces between breaths. What is this unbearable weight on our shoulders - tugging our hearts and nervous systems to breaking point? Does the collective bearing make the burden bearable? Can we hold up the world that it might not collapse on the backs of starlings so that they can remain in their splendid dancing?
