These pieces are just the beginning of a collection that has been swimming around my brain for months. And honestly I haven’t started painting them before now because I was scared. . Scared that they are too far removed from what I normally make and share here. I was so worried that no one would find them interesting, that they would be seen as too simple and plain. . I had been teasing them in my stories and my DM’s blew up. I have NEVER had so many people letting me know they loved the pieces. I set my phone down and cried. Honestly I did. I’m so glad I spent all that time building them and planning them in my head. I also can’t wait to show you what’s next in this collection. . If you sent me positive messages about these I send you the sincerest thank you, they fueled my journey ⭐️ • • • • • #contemporarylandscape #minnesotaartist #mymidcenturymix #studioscenes #abstractlandscape #doingneutralsright #saynotoemptywalls #standoutstyling #makerstoknow #instaartist #showyourwork #brightandbold #decorcrush #mnartist #colorcompanion #calledtobecreative

Well, big news is here. . A few months ago (a month? I don’t keep track of time well) I flew to San Diego california with @thecraftersbox. If your not familiar with The Crafter’s Box they are a company that brings a different craft a month to your door step. They focus on slow crafting and paying homage to the artists who create as well as the tools they use. When the ladies at The Crafter’s Box reached out I didn’t hesitate for a moment. . I know that I make paint by numbers- but this box is something special. There are no pre mixed colors and no pre drawn canvas. This time it’s all up to you. When you purchase my Crafter’s box you will get an hour long class in color mixing, brush techniques, and an inside view into how I create every paintings taught by yours truly. . Head over to The Crafter’s Box Instagram for links to their website, an exclusive podcast recorded with me and lots more goodies. . Im aware that opportunities like this are a blessing, and I am humbled and so grateful that this is the life I’m living. • • • • • #livecolorfully #contemporarylandscape #minnesotaartist #studioscenes #makerstoknow #showyourwork #brightandbold #mnartist #colorcompanion #calledtobecreative #paintwithcolleen

I think it’s no secret that I love a good plant moment. My studio is full of leafy greens that I work hard to keep alive. The inspiration I have surrounded myself has slowly crept into my work, and now alongside minimal landscapes I have a variety of botanical and citrus related work. . I’m still plugging away on more minimal pieces. I’m working in pairs. One landscape one botanical. But I could use you’re help. Comment below with your favorite plant related IG’s or people you follow that have the best plant photography!! . In the meantime I have some lovely prints in the shop ready for purchase! • • • • • #contemporarylandscape #minnesotaartist #mymidcenturymix #studioscenes #abstractlandscape #doingneutralsright #saynotoemptywalls #standoutstyling #makerstoknow #instaartist #showyourwork #brightandbold #decorcrush #mnartist #colorcompanion #calledtobecreative

I’ve had this painting for over a year, it’s been tucked away in my studio. I had it hanging at a gallery, and then it came back to the studio and I tucked it away. . Sometimes a painting is more than what it is. This is the first time a painted a big landscape, it’s the first time I tried clouds, and it was the first thing I hung up when we moved into this house. . Do you guys have art that’s hard for you to sell? I usually have such an easy time parting with things... there is just something about this one. • • • • • #contemporarylandscape #minnesotaartist #mymidcenturymix #studioscenes #abstractlandscape #doingneutralsright #saynotoemptywalls #standoutstyling #makerstoknow #instaartist #showyourwork #brightandbold #decorcrush #mnartist #colorcompanion #calledtobecreative

Feeling blessed and grateful for the magical night of our studio opening with my new studio-mates @debbiewolkdesignsceramics @wendyshragg_designs The longhorns are my new project and the response that I got was incredible.

I’ve been thinking about my trip to the Badlands of South Dakota last fall. I was so inspired by the landscape and wildlife, but life has gotten in the way of that inspiration until now! I’m planning out my next woodcut of the bighorn sheep perched casually on crumbling precipices, completely unconcerned with my presence. I’m not a morning person, but around dawn, when all the tourists were still sleeping, I had the road, the view and the sheep to myself! . . . #bighornsheep #badlandsnationalpark #badlands #nationalparks #southdakota #mnartist #wildsheep #printmaker #printmaking #printmakingprocess #woodcut #reductionprint #northeastminneapolisartsdistrict

There is nothing better than a freshly made bed and the cutest puppy in the whole world. . This lovely painting is now hanging in @deneen_pottery’s home in the Twin Cities. It’s the best feeling when other creatives purchase work, the highest compliment. • • • • • #contemporarylandscape #minnesotaartist #mymidcenturymix #studioscenes #abstractlandscape #doingneutralsright #saynotoemptywalls #standoutstyling #makerstoknow #instaartist #showyourwork #brightandbold #decorcrush #mnartist #colorcompanion #calledtobecreative

In the spirit of pushing myself out of my comfort zone- here is another photo of me. I love sharing every bit of my creative journey here. The last few days pushing outside of where I’m normally comfortable has been insane. . Just constantly reminding myself that the creativity is there, even when I don’t feel it. I’m a wellspring . What do you guys do when you’re stuck creatively? Life stuck?
