Another in honor of Solstice (Taken with instagram)
i just posted new paintings, and three have already sold! they are infused with the holiday spirit of giving and bright colors found this time of year. you can find them all here.
many thanks for your continued support and may the christmas spirit warm your heart and bring you together through bonds of love.
Today I am giving thanks for the abundance and prosperity that I feel in my life. I am also feeling gratitude for being the featured artist and illustrator of Soul Body Connection magazine, which can be found at all the Whole Foods stores. Let abundance in the heart and the nourishment of all bodies and souls flood and spread around this earth.
oh Chrissie —- i am so feeling you on this one tonight. are you hearing me universe? i am ready. there i said it —- so take note. i feel as all the pieces in my life are coming together beautifully and magically, except for my mysterious love life. dating is just not for me but i feel open to romantic possibility more than ever since my big D. my mom played this album repeatedly growing up, as we would gather round the kitchen for dinner. and oh do i love the pretenders! ms. hynde sure knows how to rock a love song.
happy autumn!
i cannot remember a more gorgeous fall here in asheville. the leaves seem to be on fire from within, the sky bright bird blue, the air so warm and crisp — lets just say i am in heaven with this weather.
i am also happy to share a little interview i did from stephanie levy’s blog here.
may your autumn and the falling leaves bring you renewal and release, as winter edges near.
squam was pure magic. words seem too limiting to describe what took place during those four days. i was deeply touched by the women who came to my class and allowed themselves to dive deep into the mystery. what transpired was beyond what i could have ever expected. through the unique, layered, and delicate well of creation, each woman shared, released, and transformed themselves *into* their artwork. every piece that was made was like an exquisite colorful snowflake—- rich in hue and depth of feeling and intention. the intentions that these women set forth in their lives were dripping with love and purity. each one held a space in the collective; each shiny artwork a glittering hope of whats to come. thank you all, i am deeply touched by your rawness and beauty.
please come join me for my next workshop at teahouse. you can register right here as spots are filling up. we are going to love even deeper through a multitude of materials to create two mixed media paintings that will radiate to the world just what you want to behold in your life.
*the above work is a collage of examples that students did from my class. starting from the top left is tonia, elke, brittany and cheryl.*
squam workshop (now sold out) + fair.
i am so looking forward to my workshop “the joy of intention” at squam art workshops this september. in this workshop we will be exploring mixed media painting and intention for what we want to manifest and embody in our lives. the squam art fair, which i have heard lovely things about, will take place saturday september 17th from 7:30 - 10:00 pm at rockywold-deephaven camps. i will have paintings, new wraps, tees and prints for sale. come by and see me! much love and grace.
a new project.
put simply, i got a book deal. i have begun to sail into uncharted waters as i am knee deep into writing and illustrating the book of my dreams. i still cannot believe this is happening. i love everything about this project because i am writing about various passions of mine, including holistic health and how to find success as an artist. its dripping with art-friendly juiciness. i also hope (and believe) that every creatively-tuned person will benefit from this book. admittedly, its a pretty daunting task and i do find myself intimidated to open up and share so many personal things. yet at the end of the day i find that gratitude sets in and i feel immensely blessed for this opportunity. i will keep up with my progress on this blog.
