Lovecats! It’s a crazy time… How are you holding up? I hope you and your families are healthy and safe at home and even though this quarantine is probably making us all a little (or a LOT) stir crazy, at least we are protecting ourselves and our communities by staying home and staying well. It …
Hey Lovecats! It’s so funny… or maybe not really at all, but as soon as I make some blanket statement about something, I tend to do the exact opposite and I have no idea why. I know this about myself and often will refrain from making such statements because of said fact. However, “they” say …
Friday night I plopped down on the couch after a long day and of course, grabbed the remote and headed to Netflix. The thing I miss about having regular (cable) TV is that sometimes I just don’t want to think about what to watch and then choose. With regular TV, you can just channel surf …
I am so proud and honored to have been asked to be interviewed for the local Lake Arrowhead Magazine by creator, Angela Yap and I finally got to see a copy of it last week! In the recent months the magazine has been featuring and showcasing younger business owners in the area and up-and-comers and …
Way back in 2012 I received an email asking if I’d like to partner with Sseko, a socially responsible brand that employs woman in Uganda and teaches them the skills to make beautiful leather sandals and handbags (and so much more now!) which, in turn, gives them opportunities to go to college and better their …
Lovecats! I finished my painting and I LOVE IT! I had SO MUCH FUN painting this that I miss it now! It took me about two weeks to finish and was the thing I looked forward to the MOST every day. It’s one of those things you just can’t wait to finish but it’s bittersweet …
YOU GUYS. I’m CRUSHING HARD ON THIS! I don’t think I’ve been as excited about something like I am about this in a very long time! From the beginning of the year I’ve had an urge to paint, but I always found some excuse not to do it. And then at the beginning of February …
I was just struck when I saw a painting by UK artist Chris Rivers on Laura Brown’s Instagram feed the other day and then spent the next 20 minutes or so checking out his work. It’s amazing. His latest works are what are so intriguing to me… the soft blurred paints mixed with the harder …
Dentist turned famous digital artist, Sara Shakeel IS the Original Crystal Artist and with over 465K followers, you’ve probably already seen her work. She curates photos of everyday objects and using crystals, rainbows, diamonds and all the pretty shiny sparkly things you can imagine, injects new life into the ordinary. Infusing her crystals into celebrity …
This week has been a doozy. I haven’t really regained consciousness since Wednesday afternoon, so I’m currently on the hunt for major distractions until I can re-route my brain’s neuropathways and/or figure out how to move forward or simply hit the reset button. In my quest to escape, I watched the new A Star is …
For the ultimate paper-art-loving-DIY-enthusiast! These 3d paper taxidermy heads and wall art/decor by artist Éric François for EcogamiShop are just the cutest things ever… and guess what?!??! You make them yourself! That’s right, you just buy the design you want and then download the digital pattern template with complete instructions and get to work! I’m …
I found artist Dan Lam on Instagram the other day, via God knows who and who knows how… most times I can trace it back to whoever may have shared it to spark the inspiration, but I think this one was found purely by accident, and you know I love finding artists on Instagram! After …
I was captivated by this short artistic video for Dior’s 2018 Summer RTW collection … I always prefer fashion with a little edge and life with a little edge too. And I love when art + fashion collide. I love the way model Sasha Pivovarova paints so freely on camera while showing off the clothes, …
Ros is a food/lifestyle photographer based in the Cotswolds/Oxford (which, of course reminds me of the movie The Holiday!) In a world where so many Instagram feeds are BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT, I love when I come across a really dark and moody feed with rich deep tones and a bit of grittiness as well. They …
I find that I don’t feature enough artists here… and I need to change that. The other day I realized it had been over a month or so and I immediately wrote a note to find and feature a new artist this week. And literally a day later, a new artist popped up in my …
