“Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. Just keep going, no feeling is final” Rainer Maria Rilke
There’s so much unrest and uncertainty in the world right now that I imagine most of us are feeling the effects.
I’ve been wrestling in my own mind about how to balance the enormous stress of a turbulent world with the wonders of every day life.
I don’t have a magic solution but I do know that a great antidote to stress is beauty and so I’ve been looking for beauty in all of my quiet moments.
Here’s one of my favorite parts of Fall: the gorgeous color. I also love trees and plants for their reminder that while change is inevitable, no change is final (life will shift again into a new season before we know it).
Thank you, Universe, for your antidote of flowers, trees, and fresh air.
Breathe tension out, then breathe beauty in.

Here are a few recent images from my printing station:
And here are a few more favorites from our recent photo shoot:
In painting news, the stickers have been finalized! I’m so excited about this, friends. We just have a few last details to work out and then they’ll be ready for sale. Here are the updated, color-corrected images:
Yay! I can’t wait.
