Some days are hard. As an 11-year survivor of stage IV oral cancer, my immune system is fragile, and the long-term effects of treatment still surprise me 💔

There are days when I can’t talk clearly, when the energy just isn’t there, and the frustration of feeling misunderstood creeps in.

But then I step into the studio. I breathe. I paint. 🎨✨

My art helps me find the light again—over and over. It lets me speak without words. Painting keeps me grounded and connected to the world when everything else feels overwhelming. 🌍

It allows me to find the beauty that is still around us, wanting to be seen and felt. 💫🖌️

Thank you for being here and for letting my paintings do the talking when I sometimes can’t 🤗❤️

“Flower Shop” is filled with memories from summers in my aunt’s flower shop in Savannah 💐
Buckets overflowing, colors clashing in the best way…and the smell of all those gorgeous flowers! 🌸
My Aunt Katherine owned the shop and didn’t mind a little kid being underfoot during all the chaos. I was completely fascinated—it was probably my first real taste of creativity in the grown-up world ✨

“Island Beauty II” is a smaller piece, which is rare for me ☀️
It was inspired by my years living on Amelia Island—a truly special place 🌴
Florida will always have my heart ❤️

“Opal Garden” is like a soft whisper of spring that lingers in the air 🌸
It’s where pastels bloom and everything feels just a little more enchanted ✨
I wanted this one to feel like wandering into a dream you didn’t want to wake up from…

Hi there! If you’re new here—welcome! I’m Wyanne, a full-time artist, stage IV oral cancer survivor, and unapologetic believer in beauty, magic, and resilience ✨

I’ve been an artist all my life, but after cancer, I found the courage to chase a dream I’d held onto for years—to paint large-scale abstract work that truly speaks for me when words can’t.

This photo was taken at the beautiful @solanafineart on Zizi’s very first road trip to Florida! 🐾 She’s one of our three rescue pups, with big ears and an even bigger heart. She may have separation anxiety… but let’s be honest, I probably do too!

Behind me is just a peek of one of my newer paintings, “Runaway to Paradise.” And on the table? The sweetest cookies with my artwork printed on them! 🍪 I couldn’t eat them myself (thanks to my feeding tube), and I usually try to avoid sugar… except for the occasional Starbucks matcha—my absolute favorite! 🍵

The silk shirt I’m wearing? I made it! ✂️ Using @libertyfabrics and a @closetcorepatterns design. When I’m not painting or snuggling pups, I sew—just for me (and my kids every once in a while). It’s become a real passion, even though I once botched a sequin skirt in college and thought I wasn’t cut out for it. Funny how life brings us back to what we love.

So grateful you’re here! 💕🐶🎨🤗

“Holding Happiness” is one of those pieces that practically painted itself ✨
The bold yellow bloom just insisted on being the center of attention.
Some days joy feels quiet… other times it takes up space. This was one of the loud, beautiful ones 💛

Tonight is the opening of the Bloom show at @dkcontemporarygallery —one of my very favorite exhibitions every year 🌸. Each artist’s work is beautifully paired with a floral arrangement created by members of local garden clubs 🌷🌿, with proceeds benefiting the Marietta Educational Garden Center 🌼.

I was really looking forward to being there in person 💕, especially since the gallery owner created one of the stunning arrangements herself to go with my painting “The Space Between Dreams” ✨. I’m not sure who created the others, but they truly have me swooning! 🌺

Unfortunately, I’m feeling a bit under the weather 🤒 and won’t be able to attend. With my immune system already compromised and still recovering from a serious infection back in January (which required a round of major antibiotic infusions 💉), I’ve learned to listen to my body and not push too hard. I’m disappointed, of course, but I’m trying to nip it in the bud before it becomes anything more serious again 🌙.

To anyone who was hoping to see me tonight—I’m so sorry I can’t be there 💔. But the lovely team at the gallery kindly sent me photos so I could still share a peek with you all 📸. If you do make it to the show, I’d be so grateful if you’d snap a few extra photos for me too ✨.

The show will be up through May 31st—and if you’re anywhere near Marietta, it’s absolutely worth a visit 🖼️💐.

Working in the studio can be quiet and lonely sometimes… but I’m never truly alone. My sweet pups come with me every day 🐾. They make me show up, keep me out of my head, and help me stay grounded—especially on the hard days. They don’t care if I can’t talk normally… they just love me. And over time, they’ve become a true part of my process ✨.

Seeing "Hope Garden" hanging in the gallery was a quiet “you did it” moment for me. And I wasn’t alone for that either. Zizi made her first art show debut—and while she couldn’t translate words, just like my hope for my art, she brought love and connection that words could never fully express ❤️.

This is my favorite painting I’ve created recently… and you might notice—it’s not my usual explosion of bright colors. ✨ That was intentional. I wanted to challenge myself… to begin somewhere unfamiliar.

Whispers Not Forgotten started with the deep, dark area at the bottom. I’ve been told more than once that collectors often shy away from large dark spaces in paintings. And I get that… I really do. But I’ve also learned—especially through my warrior journey with cancer—that the light cannot exist without the dark.

Life is a mix of both. Happiness and sadness. Hope and fear. Joy and grief. They all swirl together… and how we accept that truth is what shapes us. As much as I try to avoid the dark sometimes, it always lingers—but I only give it permission to be a whisper in my mind and soul.

The delicate, wispy flowers needed the dark to shine and glow meaningfully. 🌸 That’s what this painting is all about—letting the darkness occupy only the quietest corners and showering it with abundant love and light.

This morning, I read something on the Good News Network that brought me to happy tears. A group of teens developed an app to help diagnose mouth cancer early—with 82% accuracy—using just a phone and a tool that costs 50 cents. They even won $50k for their school. Can you believe that? Teenagers saw a need… and created something that could save lives. My own cancer wasn’t caught until stage 4 because I couldn’t get a clear diagnosis. So seeing this kind of hope and progress—it fills me with so much gratitude and faith in the future. What an incredible way to start a Monday. ✨

Back in my happy place…brush in hand 🎨, music up loud 🎶, and sunshine pouring in ☀️.
I don’t always realize how much I need a little reset—so happy to be home 🏡 and back in the studio.
Florida 🌴 always seems to refill my cup in the best way.
Yesterday was pure bliss…bright skies, @macklemore blaring 🎧, pup zoomies in and out of the studio 🐾, and fresh inspiration all around ✨.

Feeling grateful, grounded, and creatively recharged 💖

Got a sneak peek of the In Full Bloom Spring Show at @solanafineart this morning when I dropped off a few pieces… and wow, it’s STUNNING! 🌸✨

@loganipsum, Zizi 🐶and I rolled in super late last night after a 10-hour drive from Georgia. The first two hours were intense — we witnessed a head-on collision right in front of us on a rural two-lane highway. By some miracle, I saw it coming and had just enough time to slow down and signal the folks behind us. We pulled over, Logan called 911, and help arrived quickly. Most importantly, no one was hurt. I was saying lots of prayers and so grateful we were in a tall rental van that helped me stay calm and react. 🙏 Needless to say, we drove the rest of the way to Florida a little slower, saying lots of thank you’s along the way.

So this morning, walking into the light-filled gallery felt like a huge breath of fresh air ️— pure magic! ✨ Seeing my work hanging at Solana Fine Art always brings happy tears to my eyes. Bob the owner, has truly outdone himself. This show is going to be extra special!

AND… wait for it… there are WYANNE ART COOKIES! 🍪 Yes, cookies with my paintings on them! That’s a first, and I might’ve teared up again. Leave it to @solanafineart to make that kind of fabulousness happen!

Also can’t wait to see the gorgeous jewelry from Winter Park’s premier jeweler @beonpark tonight! 💎 It’s going to be such a beautiful evening!

If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you there!

Sometimes the world moves so fast… but water always makes it pause for me. ✨ Since I was little, I’ve been mesmerized by koi ponds—maybe it’s the Pisces in me ♓️. There’s a serenity in the water that always takes my breath away, no matter how many times I see it. It’s a moment of peace… a reminder to breathe.

This painting, The Gift of the Stillness, is my attempt to capture that feeling—the quiet magic that lives in between all the noise. 🪷

In the upper corner, you’ll see a soft, glowing flower… it was created using part of a radiation mask—a technique I first used in a large piece I made for the “Masks for Aid” Gala, benefiting head & neck cancer warriors. As a survivor myself, I find meaning in bringing a piece of my journey into my work. It’s my way of turning something painful into something beautiful. 🌸✨

I’ll be showing this piece at the opening of In Full Bloom – The Spring Show at @solanafineart this Friday in Winter Park, FL. If you’re nearby, I’d love to see you! 💗

Hello All!
Yes, I know I’ve been a little M.I.A. lately…
I really hope you haven’t noticed because you’ve been out soaking up springtime instead of scrolling! 😆

Truth is…after so many months of nonstop creating in the studio, I just needed a little break.
And honestly, like so many of you, Instagram and social media can feel a bit overwhelming sometimes. So I’ve learned to give myself permission to step back, catch my breath, and recharge 🍃❤️

I’ll admit, I’ve felt a little guilty because it’s showtime for me, and I should have been sharing more with you about all that 😔
But I hope you understand.

The good news? I promise to share all the new paintings with you this week as I head to sunny Florida! ☀️🌴 And they’re already up on my website if you’re curious.

This Friday, I have TWO shows opening — yep, both on the same day! 🤯
The first one, “Breaking the Rules – An Abstraction Show” opens at @dkcontemporarygallery !Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend in person, but if you’re in the area, I really hope you can stop by!

I really love this new painting in the show called “The Space Between Dreams.”
You might’ve seen me working on it in my reels! 🎨✨
This one has my heart — it was so hard to let go of. I love that it works beautifully both vertically and horizontally. To me, it’s just magic.

If you swing by @dkcontemporarygallery on Friday… send me a photo! 📸🫶
I wish I could be in two places at once — still working on that superpower!

Thanks for being here and letting me recharge. I’m excited to share more soon! 🤗

“Don’t mean to ignore you, but I’m coming down the home stretch on finishing up a new body of work for my upcoming shows! It’s been a whirlwind of creativity and chaos over here, with at least another week of keeping my head down and painting, painting, painting. 🎨✨ Thank goodness for Erika @erikadanielleart , who swoops in to the rescue each week—varnishing, stretching canvases, and making the studio magical again. I truly don’t think I could do this without her! She’s the best assistant anyone could ask for. 💛 I can’t wait to share all the new work with you soon! Meanwhile… I’m back to painting! 🎨🔥”

Yesterday, I was asked why I paint florals so often in my work. I had to think about it—because honestly, I don’t give it much thought. They just seem to appear. So why is that? 🌿🎨

First of all, flowers are a universal love language, symbolizing resilience and renewal. 🌸✨ But for me, I’m just super fascinated by their colors and shapes. As a kid, I spent every summer hanging out in my aunt’s flower shop in Savannah. 💐 I loved all the buckets of flowers almost more than the actual arrangements. It definitely left an imprint on my artistic brain. 🎨 Many moons ago, I worked for a florist in Atlanta for a few years, where I was put in charge of the orchids. 🏵️ That’s when my love of orchids began. The florist would toss any orchid that had stopped blooming, and I would take them home and patiently wait months for it to bloom again. 🌱💜

A lot of people think I have a green thumb. I don’t. 🌵❌ Succulents especially don’t like me at all. Orchids and I just seem to get along—or at least they tolerate me. Now, I probably have two dozen throughout my home and studio. 🏡🎨 It’s so lovely because there are usually blooms all year round. 🌿🌸

So I guess it’s natural that flowers, especially orchids, find their way into my work. I’m a big believer that you should paint what you love. 💕🎨

As a kid, I spent every summer hanging out in my aunt’s flower shop in Savannah. 💐 I loved all the buckets of flowers almost more than the actual arrangements. It definitely left an imprint on my artistic brain. 🎨 Many moons ago, I worked for a florist in Atlanta for a few years, where I was put in charge of the orchids. 🏵️ That’s when my love of orchids began. The florist would toss any orchid that had stopped blooming, and I would take them home and patiently wait months for it to bloom again. 🌱💜

A lot of people think I have a green thumb. I don’t. 🌵❌ Succulents especially don’t like me at all. Orchids and I just seem to get along—or at least they tolerate me. Now, I probably have two dozen throughout my home and studio. 🏡🎨 It’s so lovely because there are usually blooms all year round. 🌿🌸

So I guess it’s natural that flowers, especially orchids, find their way into my work. I’m a big believer that you should paint what you love. 💕🎨

I’d love to say every painting comes fully formed from my head, but the truth is—most of the time, it’s a wild dance of play and experimentation. I fold, roll, and manipulate the canvas, watching how it takes the paint like a puzzle waiting to be solved. 🖌️✨ A few random marks can spark my imagination, and off I go! Other times, I just keep playing because it’s fun, and I love the direction it’s heading.

Lately, I’ve been using syringes to distribute paint. It might seem odd, but for me, it feels completely natural. After 11 years of using a feeding tube, a syringe has become second nature—muscle memory at its finest. But now, instead of just nourishment, it’s delivering bursts of color onto the canvas. 💉🌈🖼️ I love how it lets me control the flow of paint, settling into the folds and creases, leaving behind beautiful, unpredictable marks. It’s pure bliss. 🤩✨

Where will it go? That’s the best part—I never know for sure! 🎨🌟

If you need me… you’ll find me holed up in the studio for the next month (at least)! 🎨✨ I might take my birthday off… lol! 🎉 Honestly, I’m still in shock 🤯 — I’m beyond grateful (and a little mind-blown) to share that I have FOUR back-to-back shows beginning in April! 🌟🖼️

I promise to share more details soon, but for now, just know I’m over here working… I mean, playing in the studio! 🥰💛

Stay tuned, and thank you for all the love and support! 💕

Life looks a lot different these days. It’s smaller, simpler—and, honestly, so much sweeter. After cancer, my world narrowed. But in beautiful ways. Sure, radiation and chemo left their marks, giving me fresh challenges on the regular. But they also saved my life—and that’s a HUGE win. 🌟

I could focus on the things I lost, but wow, there’s so much more to love. When I paint my Win series, I sink into this slow, zen process that lets me remember every blessing. Each color is a little “Win.” Even the whites—those are my favorites. They’re like the extra-special, sent-from-the-Universe wins that you never saw coming. 💫

Years ago, I walked into @macfineart and was completely in awe. I remember thinking, One day, I want to see my work here. I hung their business card and catalog on my vision board, sent a little prayer into the universe, and got to work. ✨

But really, this dream started long before that. As a little girl, I was captivated by the colors, sophistication, and elegance of an art gallery. I knew I wanted my world to be part of that—to create something that would move people, even without words. And now, “Prayers For the World” hangs in this stunning gallery, a full-circle moment that takes my breath away and makes me a little teary.

Dreams, hard work, and a whole lot of love brought me here. And so many thank you’s to Mary Ann and @adamcolliernoel for making it happen, Joel for all his specialness, and the rest of the gang. 💙🌍

Working away in the studio today, powered up in my superpowered octopus shirt 🐙⚡️—a thoughtful gift from a Facebook friend! Thanks, Charles! 💙

I get a lot of questions about what paints and brushes I use… and honestly? I use EVERYTHING! 🎨🖌️ I’m like a mad scientist in here, mixing and experimenting to see what magic happens.

This all started back in elementary school when my best friend and I would sneak into the school kitchen (tiny school perks!) and throw every ingredient we could find into a big pot on the stove 😱🔥 just to see what it would do. Different times, huh? And somehow… we never got in trouble (probably helped that her dad ran the school! 😂).

Fast forward to today, and I’m still making concoctions and experimenting—only now, it’s with paint instead of mystery soup. And let me tell you, it NEVER gets old! ✨

And just like that… we have a new family member. ❤️🐶 Sometimes you don’t get what you want, but you get what you need.

The best guy in the world and I knew we wanted another dog after saying goodbye to Pam. We had a list of what we wanted (and didn’t want), thinking a pup between Louie’s size and Rae’s might be perfect. A chihuahua felt too small, too much of a reminder. I scoured Petfinder religiously, visited our local humane society, and fell in love with so many. But the best guy in the world kept reminding me… the right one will come at the right time.

Then one day, lightning struck. ⚡️ I knew she was the one! Funny thing is, I might have passed her up if I had known her weight—thinking she was Pam’s size. But we applied to adopt through @laskeysluckyones , not expecting much since she had so many applications and we were 1.5 hours away.

To our surprise… we were chosen. 🥹💕 They even brought her to us for a trial. She was taller than Louie but only 7 lbs! She had been found as a stray, barely 5 lbs. @laskeysluckyones did an incredible job getting her medical care and bringing her back to health. She still needs to gain more… but that’s not a problem in this house! 😂

She was so uncertain at first, clinging to Logan and acting frantic around food. That first night, I held her close, and she started to calm. Within a day, she mastered sit and found her place in the studio. Louie and Rae think she’s alright… they were used to having a third dog around. She sticks to me like glue—wherever I go, she’s right there. And to my surprise… that was exactly what I needed.

At the rescue, she was called Gigi, but that’s a little tricky for me to say (speech impediment). Plus, she didn’t really know it. So we named her Zizi after the famous French ballerina Zizi Jeanmaire—because this girl has mad dancing skills. 💃 And since the best guy in the world’s ringtone is ZZ Top… it stuck.

Meet Zizi Top Dog! 🎸🐕 We are so in love. ❤️ #rescuedog

Welcome to my happy place! ✨🎨 After a much-needed studio reset, everything finally has a home, and it just feels right. There’s something about a fresh, organized space that makes my creative energy flow even stronger. 💡 Rae and Louie 🐶🐶 are soaking it all in with me, and I can already feel the next big ideas swirling.

Rae just wants to say hi! 🐶💕 She’s absolutely loving all the space in the newly redone studio, and honestly, so am I! I feel like I can breathe again. 🌿✨ I’ve learned that while I’m a messy artist 🎨, I also love knowing exactly where everything is at all times. I work in the moment and need to grab what I need quickly— and now, I finally can. It’s a game-changer! 🙌 And I’m beyond excited about the new paintings I’m working on! 💃🎨

In other news, I’m not totally out of the woods with this infection yet. 🌿😷 The antibiotic infusion has thrown some strange side effects my way, and in another week, I’ll transition to oral antibiotics. We’re praying they do the trick so I won’t need another round of that heavy-duty infusion. 🙏🤞✨

On a happier note, the best guy in the world 💙🐾 and I are thinking about adopting another pup! 🐶🥹 If it were up to me, we’d have a whole rescue full of them! 🏡🐾🐾 I was recently asked in an interview how I get through my day-to-day, and the answer was easy—art, family, friends, and puppos! 🎨👨‍👩‍👧🐶 OMG, I love them all so much. Losing Pam left a hole in our hearts. 💔 Sometimes it feels too soon, and other times not soon enough. But the best guy in the world reminds me that the perfect pup will come our way at the perfect time. 💖🐶 I know it will.

Until then, I’m soaking up all the love from the ones we have, painting my heart out, and trying to put more beauty into the world. 🌎✨ I am very blessed. 💛💫

I’ve been a little MIA this past month—January threw me a curveball with a tough staph MRSA infection. But thanks to some heavy-duty antibiotic infusions, it’s almost gone, and I’m finally feeling more like myself again. ✨ It wasn’t the way I planned to start the year, but maybe, in a way, it was exactly what I needed.

Before I got sick, I had started a major studio reorganization—one of those projects that quickly turned into absolute chaos 💥💣. But since painting wasn’t an option while I was feeling crummy, I took it slow, cleaning and organizing every square inch. 🧹My last two studio moves were so rushed with deadlines that I never fully unpacked, so for the first time, I had the chance to truly put my space together. Even though I built this studio (okay, not the actual walls and roof… 😉), it hadn’t completely felt like mine—until now. 🙏

After working in it for a couple of years, I finally knew what was working and what was holding me back. And oh my gosh… it feels so good now. 🌿 Everything has a place—every brush, every tube of paint, every little thing. ✨ And for the first time, my studio truly feels like me.

I started painting 🎨 again today, and it hit me how important this whole process has been—not just for my studio, but for my art and my soul. 💛 If I hadn’t been forced to slow down, I don’t think I would have ever taken the time to truly see this through. I probably would have gotten distracted, jumped back into painting, and just worked around the mess. But this pause gave me time to heal, time to reflect, and time to really think about all the new beauty I want to create. 🖼️

Here’s to healing, a studio space that finally feels like home, and magical new beginnings. ✨🏡💛

🌟 Hi, friends! 🌟

Sorry I’ve been missing in action lately. Saying goodbye to our sweet pup, Pam, was so hard 💔, but what really knocked me off my feet was a major infection. It’s complicated—a result of hardware issues and bone deterioration in my jaw from radiation damage during my cancer treatment. My infectious disease doctor called it a MRSA infection. Surgery isn’t really an option without a lot of risk or another life-altering procedure, and honestly… I’ve had enough of that for one lifetime! 🙃

Yesterday, I had my second infusion of the granddaddy(🤷‍♀️) of all antibiotics, and I’ve got my fingers crossed 🤞 it’ll do the trick. The first one worked small wonders—I’m finally starting to feel more like myself and less like Suzy Chipmunk! 🐿️

Before this storm hit, I was in the middle of a big studio makeover—inventory, cleaning, reorganizing, the works! It’s still a bit chaotic, but I’m tackling a little every day. Thankfully, Logan @loganipsum ,Erika @erikadanielleart , and my best guy in the world have been my lifesavers through it all. ❤️

I’m praying I can get back to painting next week! 🎨 I have so many exciting shows coming up and ideas swirling in my head—it’s like they’re just waiting to come to life on the canvas.

Today also marks 11 years + 5 days since my life-altering surgery. Wow… what a gift this time has been. 🌈 This is just a little bump in the road when there’s so much to be grateful for. 🙏

The painting in the photo is Fragments—a mixed media piece on linen that’s currently available at @solanafineart . 💫

I’m sorry I haven’t been around much lately. The holidays were a whirlwind of happiness and love, but shortly after Christmas, I came down with a head cold that has now taken up residence in my jaw and chin area. It’s a complicated side effect of head & neck cancer and living without lymph nodes and other anatomy. I’m navigating it with the right meds and treatments. I’m doing okay—but my heart is breaking as we prepare to say goodbye to our beloved Pamela, aka Pam, aka Pam Pam. 💔

We’ve known this moment was coming for some time. I prayed she would make it through the holidays, and bless her heart, she did. Pam was 17 ½ years old. She came into our lives unexpectedly, as someone was going to take her to the pound because their child was allergic. From the moment we met her, she was pure love. 🐾

She was older than we first thought, and she came with a big dental bill to remove a bunch of teeth, but none of that mattered. Pam was the sweetest little soul—always in someone’s lap or snuggled up next to you. If you stopped petting her, she’d gently kiss you as a sweet reminder to keep going. Named after Pamela Adlon, she quickly became Queen of our home, bonding deeply with Louie the dachshund and tolerating the big dog, Rae. Pam was always the boss, and she let us know when meals were late with her signature sass. 👑

In her later years, she slowed down, and we adored her wobbly, crooked little walk. She still lit up our lives every day, joining me in the studio and beating everyone else to the door. Her quality of life has declined, and tomorrow, we’ll say goodbye at home, surrounded by love, and she’ll have a special spot in the backyard where we plan to plant a flower bed in her honor. 🌸

Goodbyes are always hard, but this one feels especially so. Pam was just 7 pounds, but she was pure love and joy—a little wonder who stole our hearts the moment we met her. I’ll miss her gentle kisses, her bossy barks, and the way she made our home feel complete. We were lucky to be hers for so many wonderful years. Rest well, Pam Pam. You’ll always be our Queen. ❤️🐶

Goodbyes are always hard, but this one feels especially so. Pam was just 7 pounds, but she was pure love and joy—a little wonder who stole our hearts the moment we met her. I’ll miss her gentle kisses, her bossy barks, and the way she made our home feel complete. We were lucky to be hers for so many wonderful years. Rest well, Pam Pam. You’ll always be our Queen. ❤️🐶

Back in the studio, and it feels amazing! 🖌️💖 After such an inspiring week, especially visiting the breathtaking Morikami Gardens 🌿🌸, my head is buzzing with ideas I can’t wait to get onto canvas. I missed my creative space so much, and I’ve been experimenting with some new techniques that have completely captivated my soul 🎨✨.

As much as I loved the energy and adventure of Florida 🌴☀️, there’s something so magical ✨ about my quiet studio 🖼️. It’s so healing and nurturing to be back here! 💕

What a week it has been! 😎 Leave it up to Logan @loganipsum and I to cram so much into a week and still manage to come back refreshed and rejuvenated. 🌟 Here’s a few of our highlights: from the opening of @solanafineart in Winter Park, FL, to wandering through the serene Morikami Gardens in Delray 🌺, exploring Art Miami 🎨, shopping at Mood Fabrics 🧵, catching a drag show at Lips 💃, and visiting three of @macfineart locations in Ft. Lauderdale and two in Delray Beach.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg! 🧊 We managed to sneak in lots of Christmas shopping 🎁, a late-night showing of Wicked 🌟, and dined at incredible restaurants that made sure my feeding tube needs were covered! 🍽️ It was fast, furious, and so much fun. 🙌

Oh, and shoutout to @striplingsgeneralstore for making the trip home nice and for beating Buc-ee’s in my book any day of the week 🛍️! And of course, nothing beats those puppy kisses waiting for me when I got home. 🐾❤️

A few years ago, I walked into the most breathtaking art gallery and picked up a postcard as a little reminder. I pinned that postcard in my studio and set my intention. 🌟✨

Fast forward, and they are probably my top gallery. I’ve been with them for almost two years now—time flies, and I’m bad with math. 🤷‍♀️😂

This past week, I finally got to see my work in person hanging in their galleries for the first time! 🎨💖 During my road trip, I visited three of their locations, and seeing my paintings on their walls was an absolute dream come true. Meeting each of the gallery directors in person made the experience even more special—they were so kind and supportive, and it meant the world to me. 💕

A flat tire kept me from making it to their Jupiter location and cut my visit too short, but I’ll be back soon. I love and miss Florida so much! 🚗🌴

It’s moments like these that remind me how powerful dreams and a little manifestation can be. What an incredible journey it’s been—and it’s only just beginning! 🌈💫 I love you so much, @macfineart !!! 💖🎉

Wow, Miami! 🌴🎨 I’ve missed you so much. It’s been way too long since I’ve been to the Art Fairs—pre-Covid, to be exact! This week, Logan and I had the pleasure of experiencing Art Miami, and wow, it was absolutely incredible. The show was so massive we couldn’t even see it all, but what we did see completely blew us away. 🤯

I wish I had taken more photos to share with you all, but honestly, I get so caught up in the experience. For me, the inspiration I take from these events isn’t usually about whole paintings or specific works. Instead, it’s the little things—the technical details like how pieces are displayed, mounted, or framed—that spark my creativity. Maybe my brain is already overflowing with ideas for paintings that are begging to be created, haha. 😅

But here’s something I’ve learned along the way: an artist’s energy in their work is completely unique. It can’t be copied or duplicated—it has to come from you. For me, that energy starts by being fully present, reacting in the moment with the paint, and trusting the process. It’s not about second-guessing if a brushstroke works or if the color is “perfect.” It’s about knowing that when I give a piece my full attention and pour love into it, that energy will live in the painting.

If you’re too focused on trying to make something look like someone else’s work, you lose that magic. That’s why I didn’t take many photos. Not because I’m trying to sound pompous, but because I know my energy is enough, and I want it to be wholly mine. I always tell my students: your work doesn’t need to look like someone else’s to be good enough. In fact, if it looks like nothing you’ve ever seen before, give yourself a big pat on the back. That’s your energy shining through! 🌟

And if you ever doubt yourself, remember one of my favorite quotes by Andy Warhol:
“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they’re deciding, make even more art.” 💛

Thank you, Art Miami, for blowing my mind! 🤯 See you next year! 🙌✨

Oh, my heart is so full! ❤️ It makes me so happy when a painting finds its forever home. 🎨✨ In the studio, I pour my soul into creating something beautiful—something that brings joy and happiness into someone’s daily life. But truthfully, I rarely know where they’ll end up.

These three pieces were painted for the Spring Show with @hillarywhitakergallery , and while they weren’t intended to be a triptych, magic happened. ✨ Seeing them hanging together, side by side, just felt right. Like siblings who belong together. 🖼️💛 And now, they’ve found a home together too. It makes my heart sing! 🎶💕

Thank you for giving my work a place in your world. It means everything to me. 🥰

After reluctantly saying goodbye to the gorgeous Winter Park 🦚 and the amazing @solanafineart , I found myself in a place I’ve always dreamed of visiting— @morikamimuseum . It was truly magical and the perfect spot to recharge before @loganipsum and I head to Miami for Art Basel. 💫🌴

I just knew it would inspire a new painting series, and it didn’t disappoint! I took what feels like 3 million photos and can already feel the ideas swirling in my head. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend a visit! I'm considering going back on the way home. 🏡 Their art exhibit at the museum there was phenomenal, and it’s got me thinking 🧐… maybe one day. ...🎨🖼️ Just putting it out into the Universe. 😉✨

🌟✨ Wow, what a magical night at the opening of @solanafineart ! ✨🌟

Openings can sometimes be tough for me with the noise level making it hard for others to hear me clearly due to my speech challenges. But last night felt so different—everything just clicked, and I was able to truly enjoy myself! 🥰

The gallery? Absolutely STUNNING! 🤩 And the turnout was incredible—so many wonderful people came to welcome Solana to Winter Park, FL. One amazing artist even flew in all the way from Rhode Island to see me—what an unforgettable surprise! 💖 And someone local who follows me here came out to meet me, too. When she asked if I’d seen any peacocks during my visit (from a post I shared earlier), I was beyond touched. 🦚💛 Knowing my words here resonate with others feels just as special as being heard in person.

The artwork at @solanafineart is simply GORGEOUS! 😍 I was lucky to meet several talented artists, including @stacybarterart , whose painting “Off the Shoulder” about brings me to (happy) tears every time I see it. Her work is so delicate (such a contrast to mine!), and her use of color takes my breath away. 🌸🎨 I also got to connect with old friends like @lorrakurtz , @gingeroglesby , and @karlenemcconnell.art , as well as meet new friends like the incredible @heatherblantonartist ⛷️.

I know I’m forgetting to mention everyone, and I deeply apologize—it was such a spectacular night! ❤️

Oh, and three of my paintings found their forever homes last night! 🖼️🏡 That was just the icing on the cake. 🎂

Thank you, @solanafineart, for this incredible opportunity and for creating such a warm, beautiful space. I can’t wait to see what the future holds with you! And to everyone who came out or sent love—thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💕 I’ll cherish this night forever. ✨💫

Hello Orlando friends (and everyone else)! But especially Orlando, I have some extra special news to share, and I’m so excited! A fabulous new gallery, Solana Fine Art ☀️, is opening its doors in Winter Park, and I’m beyond honored to be part of it! 🎉

Mark your calendars—Tuesday, December 3rd, from 5:30–7:30 pm, is the opening reception, and I’ll be there! I’ve been working hard in the studio (yes, the paint-splattered overalls prove it! 🎨) to create some stunning new pieces, and I can’t wait to share them with you.

Here’s one of my new works: “March of the Peacocks” 🦚🦚🦚 (55 x 44, acrylic, glitter, and mica on raw unprimed canvas). Some of you might remember seeing the early stages of this one in a recent reel. At first, I had no idea it would become a celebration of peacocks, but somehow, they always seem to find their way into my work!

When I was little, a peacock mysteriously wandered into my front yard in Waco, TX (very boring place for a kid! 😴). It was so magical, I watched it for what felt like hours until someone finally believed me that there really was a peacock in the yard. That memory still fills me with joy to this day. I even have a peacock feather tattoo on my painting hand to always remember the magic I felt that day. 🦚✨

So imagine how thrilled I was to learn from Solana Fine Art 🌤️’s owner that Winter Park’s mascot is the peacock! I’m hoping to spot a few while I’m there.

I’d love to see you at the opening—it’s going to be a wonderful celebration of art, community, and magic. Solana’s 🌞 mission is to “connect people to beauty,” and this gallery is something truly special. Stop by, say hello, and let’s soak in the beauty together! 💙🎨

Every painting begins with energy and a little chaos. 🖌️These first marks can set the tone for creating all the magic in a piece 🎨(pajamas help with that too 😂). 🎨 At this point, even I don’t know where it will go! ✨ I will say this one surprised me in the end. 😉🦚

Lifetime Wins #2”
Acrylic on Canvas
48 x 36 in.

Creating this series and painting is like having a zen sand garden in my studio. While much of my work captures calm and beauty, it’s usually created through bursts of energy and even chaos. This series of paintings is slowly completed over time, as I stop from other work in the studio to add to it.

The Win Series began with a single meditative dot on the canvas—a quiet “thank you.” Dots of color, or blobs as I sometimes affectionately call them, are important to me because they were all I was able to paint in the hospital after my surgery. But they were miraculously healing. I now call them wins.

Big or small, perfect and imperfect, they’re always there. Sometimes they feel far apart, and other times they come one after another. But each one is a moment of gratitude, building something beautiful and meaningful over time—just like life.
