I already miss my beautiful sister ❤️

Audrey I love you forever!

Old pastel portrait of my sorellina, Audrey ❤️

Today is her birthday and I love her so much. Before moving to Italy she was always my most willing muse- and I have over fifty bad drawings and paintings of her hiding on both sides of the Atlantic. Audrey sewing, Audrey baking, Audrey playing the piano, Audrey with her long hair. 

Sometimes I think of art as this professional serious thing, but art can be the most intimate exploration of who we are as people, and who those around us are to us. What it is to be a human, a girl, a sister. I love you Audrey!

Art, artist, and muses 🤍
from this year and last year at @charlescecilstudios 

I owe so much to the inspiration of those I get to work with. Portrait painting is such a spectacular thing, because it truly is a collaborative experience. Forever inspired by all the models 💝

Audrey in a vintage Austrian dirndyl 🌼

Four sessions drawing my sister with pastel, in my mom’s Pennsylvania studio. Unfinished but awaiting another American voyage.

It was super cool returning to pastel, after working with oils over two years. It’s less intimidating but also challenging in similar ways, weaving colors and drawn line to create depth and space. I also felt influenced by my mom’s painted color schemes that surrounded me - painted tulips and roses in casein ochres and olives and reds. @warwickvillagepaintworks 

Hoping to continue playing with this medium in between painting attempts this year 💗

Made using @sennelier1887 pastels
