    March Mood Board: Live a Little

    /

    Is it Spring yet? I’m so ready for the second half of March. The winter space between December and early spring is so full of waiting. For longer days, warmer air, less… sticks everywhere. We don’t get winter in Houston so much as everything turns to sticks. But that’s changing. It’s not dark when I leave the office anymore, which is so energizing.

Hello!

Artist and writer in Houston, painting my way through a slower kind of life.

Trained as a fine artist; the rest just follows the same eye.
