books!


Love

I heart Sarah Ahearn. We met a couple of years ago and she's one of those sweet spirits that draws you in. I adore her and her art and love that we are both traveling though the same experience of new mamahood + creativity. I received her brand spakin' new book a few weeks ago. I can't recommend it enough! Full of prompts, peeks into her process, and inspiration galore - loved it. I am amazed that she wrote this gorgeous book while being a new mama - super inspiring! Bravo, Sarah!

Love

Misty's new book also arrived. Misty is insanely talented and I drool over everything she does - art, food, photography. I took her painting ecourse last summer and loved it, but her book offers up even more insights, techniques, and ideas for creativity. High recommended! If you don't already know Misty's work, you are in for a major treat. She is a natural teacher, super encouraging, and endless in her creative insights. Love her work, love her style, love this book. Go Misty!


I'm so excited to be a part of Jenny Doh's most recent book, Art Saves. This book is an uplifting tribute to the power of art, how it transforms, how it heals, and how it saves. Prompts, techniques, stories, and inspiration fill this book to the brim. It's meaningful, practical, and life changing. Seriously.


I'm in great company with some pretty amazing contributors - all sharing their stories, techniques, and more. So happy to have been a part of such an incredible group of artists for an incredible, deeply powerful book. Thank you, Jenny, for asking me to be a part of it!
