My return to art making made a come back during th

My return to art making made a come back during the pandemics forced 18 month time period at home. Having everyone home and my role(s) significantly changing to accommodate and care for my family led me to grieve my old life and eventually surrender to my reality.

I was then able to seek out moments during each day that were just for me to see. It became a survival technique over that time to be able to escape everyday for just a moment. These moments were caught in an exploration of materials while finding solace through immediate and long term gratification.

REFLECTIVE PARAMETERS will be premiering on my virtual gallery TBA on the day/time.

Pink.

Inspired by a small batch of hand dyed shabori custom hoodies and fashion tees I made in October, pink made the holiday 2021 cut. This year my collection has more of a one of kind feel with small batch releases of hand made items like these garments. There will never be another batch exactly alike. That is the beauty of hand dyed and hand made products.

Shop these items online thru link in bio or locally @lavishscranton.

Thank you everyone who comes to this feed of mine

Thank you everyone who comes to this feed of mine and continues to support this timeline of creative observations and experiences. My life as an artist and as a mom is always evolving. This past year and half has given me the gift of perspective and with that came that my art is life and my life is art. That the moments of my daily mundane can be extraordinarily beautiful if I just surrender to anything keeping me from seeing them. While I evolve as an artist and human I hope to use this ever changing platform to find inspiration and connect with a creative community outside of my little life. While I prepare to launch a holiday collection with past designs I also made new work and drew inspiration from the beautiful observations of my daily life at home. And just like me the collection is evolving and I’ll keep sharing as they emerge. Thank you again for following along and encouraging this artist. I am super grateful.

My styled home for the holidays images were shot by my friend @daniellecoonsphoto. I wanted this years holiday images to be less about “perfect styling” and more about me being the artist in my home, sharing my serious about details side but also my super silly self in the “act of styling” and finding those beautiful moments and documenting them.

Winter vs Christmas vibes. My holiday decor is a combination of minimalism and maximalism. I always like to make the house feel cozy with certain colors and textures first that celebrate the winter season then get full on hohoho for the few weeks leading up to Christmas. And then usually put away all the holiday and keep up my seasonal decor for a few months.

How I transformed our foyer way corner nook to hel

How I transformed our foyer way corner nook to help get into holiday winter spirit without going full on Christmas.

I will go all out decorating for Christmas right after Thanksgiving when we go out either to chop down a tree or buy one from a local tree farm. It’s tradition in my family to use a real tree and I have continued that ritual with our kids. I am big on passing family traditions but also making new ones of our own too.

With keeping to another tradition of bringing the outside in and using special lighting I used yard clippings, wired them to wooden chain link pieces I found on clearance at a craft store, attached the pieces onto the neon rope and suspended the whole installation to the second floor ceiling.

The entire nook was inspired by the neon rope and it creates two separate but interesting experiences on both floors of the house.

To pull it all together I brought in the vintage table+chair set I painted and reupholstered in the spring, our Nordic puzzle tree and my new favorite pedestal bowl filled with graphic ornaments. 🖤🌲

Sliding into holiday vibes with minimal shoving. T

Sliding into holiday vibes with minimal shoving. This year I am inspired by the idea we can actually gather with loved ones to celebrate this season together. I also love this time of year when we bring more elements from outside to create cozy and beautiful experiences inside. This time of year was absolute magic for me when I was growing up bc of family traditions and transforming our home using fresh branches, trees, wreaths using special lighting with pops of red and cream. I still use this formula from my childhood but have put my own spin on family traditions in our own home. I will be sharing more from the home as far as holiday prepping goes plus will finally be restocking my online shop after a long pause. In addition I will be offering local deliveries for the first time this season in the weeks to come! 🌲

Over the weekend I finally painted the wall grid t

Over the weekend I finally painted the wall grid that has been swirling around in my head for over a year. I originally wanted to do a very thin line grid with perfect, straight edges but after I drew the grid on the wall last week I changed my mind. Instead decided on painting a more organic line approx .25” thick to compliment the history of the house and all its perfect imperfections that century+ of shifting and settling have made. For anyone that lives in an old home you know exactly what I’m talking about, am I right?

For anyone thinking of doing this on their own I found that using a level to draw the grid was key. And painting the lines in 10 inch sections gave me more control and finding that perfect pressure + brush position as I worked and keeping consistent was also key in achieving the look I wanted.
I used @behr Dynasty one coat black paint for the first time and it really performed in the way that I had hoped it would. Perfect coverage in one coat. Not a sponsored post at all just wanted to share what I had found to be successful for me.

Thank you for all your enthusiasm and kind messages while I worked this out! I cannot wait to paint the next pattern or shape…either here at my house or at yours. ;)

Happy Halloween! Sharing the most epic collaboration from Friday between @valeriekiserdesign and @chippywhitetable for our friends @epicureandelightcatering! And of course our friends @matternsfloral brought their magician skills to help us tie everything together and add that magical layer that set the whole tone. We were asked to create an elevated and swanky spooky theme and this is where we landed! Thank you @epicureandelightcatering for bringing us together, it was a major vibe and the best event to date! 🖤💀🥀

I’ve been secretly loving this portion of photos

I’ve been secretly loving this portion of photos from our anniversary dinner that our friend @chalajan @chala.imagery took of us. The lighting, colors and textures are beyond stunning. They are the epitome of how I feel about the fall actually. It’s my favorite time of year. The colors and stark contrast in our landscapes. She is truly incredible and I’m grateful for her talents. Fun fact in case you didn’t know, she shot our wedding 10 years ago and it was her first time ever shooting a wedding.

My dress was a deconstructed, second hand wedding dress that I hand painted, cut apart making it into a skirt and paired it with my go to black halter top. My friend @mybeautybreakdown did the most beautiful and playful makeup look for me. And David let me style him for the evening bc he is a good sport and is super hot so it doesn’t take much to make him look good.

Your space is uniquely yours. Give yourself permission to play and move things around without expectations or approval from others.

This styled seating area was envisioned to be a social discourse between my studio and living room areas.

I relocated all furniture, rug and decor from other rooms in the house for this circle nook, then created and installed the wall art. The only thing new to me for this set up is the vintage black floor lamp by Robert Sonneman purchased from @mainstreetmodern

For now, this is the vibe over here. 🖤

Since my friend @greystoneonwaverly said it was hydrangea season and I needed to style this corner in our foyer I thought I’d bring my white hydrangeas planted this spring into the set up! It’s the first time I’ve ever planted these white dwarf hydrangeas and I’m in love!

The wall install consists of a large panel woven painting, and two smaller mixed media paintings with artist tape. I think the synergy of all the line work and each panel including the electrical plates is a really beautiful balance. Slide to see the install and more detail pics.

Yesterday was my 44th bday and I spent it walking around a small art town, scheming all ways and spaces to place sofas like these, sipping turmeric+ginger lattes, shopping eclectic shops curated as perfect as the artists that run them, and drinking all the tequila drinks while solving and resolving life w/my friend @daniellecoonsphoto Love you friend! Thanks for spending the day with me. 🖤

And thank you @zenboz for taking the kids and giving me my time! Plus thanks for all the love w/super sweet messages and gifts throughout the day. You guys are the absolute best!
