Inside the Studio is where the practice lives when no one is watching.
Except — you are.
This is me sharing the work as it unfolds — the paintings, the process, the mornings that don’t go as planned, the life that holds it all together.
Sometimes it’s a video where I’m talking directly to you. Sometimes it’s what my daughter said at dinner, or what surfaced in a conversation I wasn’t expecting.
Everything here is shaped by the RIPPLE Practice™ — you won’t always see those words, but you’ll start to recognize the movements in the way I work, in the way I let things be finished before I feel ready.
There’s no feed to keep up with, no threads to respond to, no progress to perform.
You come when you want to. You take what resonates. You might read every post the day it goes up, or check in once a month, or just like knowing the door is open. Nothing is mandated or expected.
This isn’t a transaction — it’s a connection. $10/month or $108/year. Cancel anytime.
Welcome Inside the Studio
Welcome to the Studio! I’m so glad you’re here. This post is our community table — an open forum just for us.
Parts of Each Other
Even thought I make almost everyday, making in community feels different. The reminders I give others are usually things I need to say to myself, too.
The World Didn’t Stop
This time my body didn’t ask. It just stopped. While I was lying in that ER bed, staring at a ceiling I’d never chosen to be under, the world outside kept going.
Painting over Memories
You can honor your past without displaying it. You’re always painting over something, always building on what came before, whether you name it or not.
Between Breakfast and Lunch
When intuitive, process-based art-making and creative experimentation takes you nowhere and you sit with it.
Writing for Comfort, Writing for Truth
For me, the question is shifting from: “what if no one reads this?” to “what would I continue to write if no one reads this?”
Carbon Paper
If you have a piece sitting in a closed drawer right now that you “hate”—go look at it tomorrow morning. Give it the grace of a little distance.
Late to the Party
Sometimes we discover the message only after we stop trying to decide what it should be.
When the Painting Knows Before You Do
In the midst of chaos, find your calm. There is no one way, there is no right way to do your art.
