This is not the first holiday we've been apart for and it won't be the last I'm sure. Moments like these make me so much more thankful for all the time that we do get to spend together. While you're enjoying the time with you're loved ones over these next few days, remember all those that are serving overseas, who may be working, and also those who may not have family or friends to celebrate with. 🎄 Gratitude is powerful and love is contagious. Happy Holidays, my friends. The best gift you can give or receive is kindness. https://www.instagram.com/p/B6d07FepYMI/?igshid=fxhyk4ezg913

Finished 🙃 this comission was quite different in comparison to my normal style but it was a great piece to kick myself back into working on my art. Hoping the recipient enjoys 🎁 I cant believe Christmas is only a few days away! #artcomission #acryliconwood #woodpaintings #natureinspired #customgifts https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ZJk42JBSO/?igshid=4r3w6ag4hnwj

It's been awhile since I've worked on my art or started a new piece. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder 🖤 #artcommission #artstudio #paintingonwood (at Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6V6O0wJLTx/?igshid=edd2i8bo2ij1

It's been an honor to be featured by @artworkseagan for their "Journeys from Military Service" exhibit. The opener was a lot more relaxed compared to the last exhibit I participated in with them. All of the artists in the show were veterans and it was so humbling to be among the few that were selected. I am so thankful for the opportunity. Awakening, Impact, Metamorphosis, Maskulinity, and Reluctant Trust are all on display through January 17th. (at Art Works) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4dggeYpyPR/?igshid=18hi59t0y9xuf

I've got an exhibition coming up! 🤩 5 of my paintings will be at the @artworkseagan gallery from November 3rd - January 17th! Wanna know which paintings were selected? Come see me at the opener this Sunday from 5:00-6:30 PM to find out! There will be live music and swing dancing afterwards!

October Update: Current Projects and Showings

A Quick Update

Good morning, friends! It’s a chilly morning here in Minnesota and I am so thrilled to be wrapped up in a cozy blanket writing a blog post for you all this morning. I’m in the studio today with my peppermint mocha with a dash of almond milk (thank heavens for Young Living’s Vitality oils), have pumpkin spice in my diffuser, and am surrounded by all the cozy fall feels!

🌟New available work:🌟 "The Masks We Wear" 9x12 acrylic on panel. . . "Evergreen trees And valleys below; A woman runs quickly Through a meadow. Her feet are bruised; Hands drenched in blood. Tears from her eyes Pour like a flood. "Get back" she screams. Her feet won't stop moving. Keep running, keep going! Danger's pursuing! Thing are different. Yes, times have changed. Once a free bird But now only feels caged. Spreads her wings out But is too scared to fly Instead just seems easier To daydream to die. How long does she run for? How long does she fight? Just keeps on drinking Each Saturday night. Longing for something, Anything that can heal. The whiskey wont help you; It just numbs how you feel. You reap what you sow In this life that we live. Be kind and be brave. Show love and forgive. The pain may be real But that's just how it goes. Get up! Keep on fighting! Like a warrior she rose. Each day a new battle, How long till you lose The will to keep going? It's your life-you choose." . . You never know what battles people may be fighting or what face truly lies beneath the statement "I'm fine." Message me for inquiries. 🎭 (at Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2_tL0ap0Wb/?igshid=8oaq3fwc11wx

Even my acrylic paintings are starting to take longer to complete. Things change when you just stop and start enjoying the process. #WIP https://www.instagram.com/p/B22LhwXJQqo/?igshid=1l277yp8zoorp

Getting huskies to pose for photos isn't an easy task...getting them to do ANYTHING you want isn't easy! 😅 If there's one thing I DO know however, it's that they are picky about art and if you even so much as give them an opportunity to critique your world, they will absolutely tear it apart. You've been warned. . . . . . . #huskiesofig #artcritique #commissionedwork #commissionedpainting #artistonig #artstruggle #artlife #naughtyhuskies #baddog #ruinedart #artadvice https://www.instagram.com/p/B2jwaGbpETP/?igshid=1jr8er3c4yb1f

Happy Friday the 13th! Today Im bringing you my first fall-themed piece of the season! Ive started so many oil paintings lately so it's been nice to sit back and feel the freedom again with a new acrylic work. I'm a lover of all things fall aside from the long winter ahead of us. 🍁🍂 This fair-skinned fiery goddess is going to be searching for a home soon as she still needs to be varnished. Message me with inquiries, lovelies! Thanks for looking! . Video to be uploaded on YouTube soon. . . "Ginger Spice" 9x12 acrylic on panel. . . . . . #fallart #autumn #gingerspice #gingergirls #acrylicpainting #acryliconpanel #rarebeauty #fallgoddess #harvestspirit #harvestgoddess #fallart #pumpkinspice #fallyall #spicegirls #fallart #falldecor #fridaythe13th https://www.instagram.com/p/B2XUG_MpYgn/?igshid=a0gwgmbrf165

; . . . If you havent seen it, look st my previous post. Taking this art therapy course has had me so full of emotion and deep in thought lately...it's had me thinking about those who've walked through traumatic experiences in life and have came out stronger because of it. The problem is that not all authors choose to use a semicolon while writing their story and many end it far too soon... . . . I've made good use of this free 4x6 sample of Baltic birch from @trekell_art_supplies. I love their materials and decided this would be the perfect candidate for my #semicolonproject artwork; I'm going to place it on my desk at my unit as a reminder to myself and all those who may see it. . . It's quite possible that when I receive my art therapy certification, I'll continue onward with art therapy. Mental health is so important and if I can make a difference in even one life I'll know it was worth it. . . . . . #semicolon #dontendit #artoftheday #passionproject #abstractpainting #abstractart #fallart #artdaily #acrylicpaint #semicolonart #suicideprevention #suicidepreventionart #artworks #studiowork #trekell_art_supplies #trekell #artsample #freeart #depressionawareness #bekind #arttherapy #artheals #arttherapist #acrylicart #newpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Uy8K4piGm/?igshid=1gklri9uurtr0

Currently spending another day out of the studio so I thought I’d share a piece with you! “Wicked” is an acrylic painting on canvas that I had completed nearly a year ago now! Times sure flies, friends. She is currently available on my website. I can’t wait to compete more fall-inspired work soon. . . . . . #completedwork #art #painting #fallart #surrealism #abstractart #minnesotaartist #mnartist #mnart #painting #localart #supportartists #supportlivingartists #artonthego #quinducreations #acrylic #acryliconcanvas #fulltimeart #businesswomen #entrapanuer #artcollector #artwork #orangeart #orangepainting #fallart #fallpainting #pumpkinart #pumpkinpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PSRU2JxW1/?igshid=3wqo72v9fcts
