It’s official - I’ll be the ART TEACHER for PreK to 8th grade next school year! ✨🎉✨ I’m grateful to have been blessed to spend most of my time in the studio for last two years. I needed that time to be a little selfish and completely focus on my own work. But being an artist to me means more than the creating and selling. It’s about inspiring others (Online and IRL) to confidently pick up that pen, pencil, crayon or paintbrush and share their voice. #artactivism❣️🖌🖍🖊❣️ . . . . . . . #carveouttimeforart #solangefingalart #abstracted #arteverywhere #abstracters #artinamerica #earlyyearseducation #postitfortheaesthetic #contemporaryartcurator #sharemystyle #artcollector #livecolorfully #housegoals #instaabstract #futureartist #colorventures #makersmovement #chicagoartist #abstractexpressionism #stationerylove #elledecor #creativelearning #littleartists #artclass #kidart #arteducation #artmatters #artteacherlife #artteacher (at Rolling Meadows, Illinois)

I look at this design every day on my phone case, you’d think I’d be sick of it but on this notebook I love how much it pops off the page. ✨ Check out my shop or DM me to get yours! . . . . . . #carveouttimeforart #solangefingalart #lifestyleblog #abstracted #arteverywhere #abstracters #artinamerica #ourhome #postitfortheaesthetic #contemporaryartcurator #sharemystyle #artcollector #livecolorfully #housegoals #instaabstract #artconsultant #colorventures #makersmovement #chicagoartist #abstractexpressionism #stationerylove #elledecor #planneraddict #interiordesigners #myhousebeautiful #lifestyleblogger #stationeryaddict #housetohome #notebooklover (at Palatine, Illinois)

Never would’ve thought I’d like pink and blue together. It’s been about 4 months since the last time I’ve painted✨ Still on the hunt for a #nowaste way to paint ♻️ (at Palatine, Illinois)

#nowaste

Socializing and Social Media Anxiety✖️Wish I had another me to handle this part and I could just create all day. My 🧠 is spinning with to-do lists and my paintbrush 🖌 is left untouched for months ✨ (at Palatine, Illinois)

Teaching future illustrators all day and creating new pieces for the shop all night. ✨ these designs are the bright side of sleep deprivation. ✨Link in bio for more home decor

Is this a curated capture of “the tools of an artist”? A snapshot of the beauty of studio mess? Or is this a collection of waste ✨ I thought I wanted to simply create carefree ...to blissfully paint in ignorance ...to just post my pic and go on mimicking make believe life imagined from a feed. Am I creating art, that impacts the world and leaves a legacy or plastic?✨ Is it worth the waste? 🌏 (at Chicago, Illinois)

Reusing paintings that we’re quite right and making collages... working on ways to create without harming the environment. Open to suggestions (at Chicago, Illinois)

When I have nothing to say... Turn off the tv, disconnect from social media, break the cycle of spiraling into article click bait and pick up a book 📚 Or two or three. Silence the small talk and go deep. (at Palatine, Illinois)

Watching straws wash up on the shores of Thailand has challenged me to rethink who I am as an artist snd educator. 🤔 How can I spend so much time admiring the beauty of the waves 🌊 in the ocean and yet continue to ruin it by creating more waste. ☢️ All in the name of being an “artist” wanting to recreate nature with my paint brush. 🖌 🎨 ✨ I wonder... Where does all this plastic go when I’m done with it? 🗑🏝Does it outlive me? Is that what I want for my legacy? How much waste am I creating to create? 🌍 (at Palatine, Illinois)

Some decisions define you and some remind you of who you’re becoming. ✨ My tattoos are milestone markers and reminders of lessons Iearned. So when I get asked “What is it?” or “What does it mean?” My answer is usually long story. But those that know the full answer never had to ask the question. 💫 (at Patong, Phuket Thailand)

Staying grounded ✨might look like chaos but it's exactly how it needs to be (at Palatine, Illinois)

Usually my obsession with waves and sky is therapeutic and a serene escape, not this week. ✨It only made it harder not to worry about my family in Dominica dealing with the hurricane. These extreme weather catastrophes make me feel small and powerless. Searching for a way to do something more than praying and donating. (at Palatine, Illinois)

No better way to spend my birthday... ✨Even though I'm 29 today I'll forever be four painting on the floor 💕 (at Chicago, Illinois)
