I had the honor to lead workshop for Prism Memorial last week! “Paint the Season You’re In” ended up being so much more than a painting workshop. It was an evening of reflection, connection, vulnerability, laughter, and making space for whatever season we find ourselves in.

I’m grateful to Prism for trusting me to help create this experience and for the opportunity to pour into others while being poured into myself.

Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of the beginning of something so much bigger. I’m excited to see all that Prism Memorial becomes. 🐌✨ by @howmanymoons

I had the honor in collaborating with my mom in hosting a Mother’s Day Faith and Paint workshop for her women’s church group. I feel extremely blessed to be able to use my gifts to bring this to my mom’s church community.  As I edited this video, I found myself getting low key emotional.

I wasn’t just watching women paint. I was watching mothers and grandmothers give themselves permission to slow down.

For a little while, there were no errands to run, no one to take care of, no distractions. Just paint, conversation, laughter, Scripture, and quiet moments of focus.

Watching each woman become completely immersed in her painting reminded me of something we often lose as adults, the freedom to create simply for the joy of creating. It felt like they were kids again.

No two paintings looked alike, and I loved that. Each one reflected the woman who painted it.

Inspired by John 12:3, we painted nard flowers while reflecting on Mary’s act of extravagant worship. As my mom led the devotional, I had the privilege of guiding everyone through the painting. Collaborating with her made this experience so much powerful and meaningful for me.

By the end of the night, I realized the beauty wasn’t just on the canvases. It was in the space we held, in the fellowship, the peace, the worship, and the women who chose to simply be present.

Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can create isn’t a painting. It’s the space we create to receive what we need in that moment.

Shout out to my assistant @lovebuglanii 😉

Between two jobs and grad school, 65ish hours later, we finally finished this giant tree, a few weeks ago. Name plaques still need to be installed, but I’m happy with how it turned out 🥰!

Shout to my wonderful mural assistant @cinnastardream 

Glory be to God, always.

A year ago, I was given the opportunity to lead this mural for the LA Conservation Corps. It was my first time painting on a conex container, so I brought in a couple of my art students and my brother to help bring it to life.

What started as just a project became something much more. I got to bond with my brother through art and expose my students to mural work.

It took me a long time to share this because it hasn’t been easy to look back at these clips.

One of the students in this video passed away a month after we finished this mural.

During our time painting, he opened up to me about things I didn’t know he was carrying. He was getting support, he was showing up… and still, he was hurting.

A year later , it’s still been really heavy to sit with, but I trust that God had better plans for him and I thank God for the time we did share. 

This mural will forever mean so much more to me than what you see. 

Check on your people. Life is fragile.

Rest in peace, Angel 🤍

I decided to celebrate Kodee’s birthday this year! Best decision I could’ve made, lol! I ended up sending out invitations the day before the party 😅. Only 3 out of 7 dogs showed up, but we all had the best time! I didn’t get a chance to record the set up, it was super cute. 

Hosting birthday parties is definitely not easy, but it was worth it 🥰. Kodee was happy !! If God allows us, we’ll do it again in a couple of years 😆. Thank you to the dog moms and @stophemalone who helped celebrate Kodee’s birthday this year 🫶🏽🥰!

Friends, my life lately.

Analyzing 2024 so far. I realize I haven’t been creating much lately…clothes, paintings, graphics, sites, and I feel it—a creative void in the center of my chest. My phone is the easiest thing to reach for, so I just try to capture as much as I can of what I do, or what catches my eye, or simply what I want to remember. As I’m going through my photos trying to figure out wth I’ve been doing instead, I see it…I’ve been taking care of me. It doesn’t feel creatively productive, but mentally and spiritually it has been. Maybe I’m fully charged now and my brain and body are like…”ok! Let’s make something now! I’m ready!” And that’s where my urge to create is coming from?! Idk. Anyway, I’m kindly nudging myself towards daily creative small actions. I’ll give ya’ll an update on that soon! But for now, here’s a micro summary of what’s been filling my cup lately :). If you’re feeling a void of some sort, look deeper. Look for the parts of you that you ARE watering and feel a deep appreciation for that—you now know that you might need to start watering other parts of you and that’s ok! Love ya’ll!! 😘✌🏽

“. …You're feeling like you're chasing the world
You're leaving not a trace in the world
But you're facing the world

I'm gonna look for my glory yeah
I'll be back real soon
I'm gonna look for my glory yeah
I'll be back real soon
I'm gonna look for my glory yeah
I'll be back real soon

But you know that a king is only a man
With flesh and bones, he bleeds just like you do
He said "where does that leave you"
And do you belong? I do, I do” 
-Weary (Solange)

✌🏽IG…see you later
