Venture Here and There 
Iβm baaaaaack! ππ» Iβve been taking a break from social media for some self care and recovery from Christmas commission season. π You guys, it was so so successful and I am beyond thankful to my clients who trusted me with such important gifts. π©π»βπ¨ In celebration, You are treated to this image as evidence that I can still handle a high kick. (In a seated position but still…) Also, my MIL got me these #cheetaprint Cole Haan booties so my Mother in law is cooler than yours. π . . . . #coloradoartist #artofinstagram #arty #creativelife #miraclemorning #profitfirst #smallbusiness #artistofinstagram #5280 #brihillcreative #howdarling #beautifulthings #artwithmeaning #fromscratch #altsummit #bossbabe #lovewhatyoudo #youdoyou #currentdesignsituation #abeautifulmess #womensupportingwomen #liveboldly #livewide #surroundyourselfwithbeauty #currateyourlife #lovethislife #supportwomenbusinessowners

Did you know that this is my 12th year of teaching? I was an elementary Ed major, then my first job was teaching sped k-12 π³ which was trial by fire, let me tell you. But I did that for 7 years, which is still very dear to my heart. But the last 5 years I have taught art, which I love love love. I love my students and the purpose it brings to my life. No matter where this arting thing takes me, I want to always be teaching. It is my way of using my life to love hard. Whatβs your way?

Something I learned when traveling and living abroad is to have 1,000 zipper pouches for all the things. -1 pouch for chargers -1 pouch for things I will need in the plane βοΈ -1 pouch for journal pens π -1 pouch for the GOOD pens And donβt even get me started on the pouches I need if my kids are with me…π³ the only rule I have about the pouch is… itπmustπbeπcuteπ. No ziplocks for me and my earplugs… snag one or a dozen on my site πππ

My favorite part of commission season is sending my work to clients to approve. ππππ€π€π€ Pet portraits are the most fun. Make sure you sign up for my newsletter on my website (link in bio) to be the first to know about the next openings. π₯³

One year ago we welcomed a potato shaped dog into our family. You guys, Gladys sheds, she needs to be fed, her poop has to be cleaned up and my dear Lord, her farts could kill, BUT I take it all because she is the very best decision our family of four has made. She loves (maybe tolerates) my family, but she has bonded deeply to me. At times it is a little overwhelming to have yet another thing witnessing my daily bathroom visits but her unbridled joy upon seeing me is everything. . . . #adoptdontshop @bigbonescaninerescue #bulldogsofinatagram #englishbulldogsofinatagram #mypetsfavorite #sheisthebestbehaved #petportraits

Can we please talk about goals for Christmas?! I am going into this holiday season being intentional about all of it. One of my goals is to A. Have all of my shopping done by December 1st and B. Buy as many gifts from real life makers/small business owners/creatives, as possible. This might mean my people might get less #stuff but they will get more meaning. For my own business I am TREMENDOUSLY grateful for those who buy from me when we all know @hobbylobby basically gives crap for free. What are you doing with your money this holiday season? . . . β β β β β β β β β #christmasgoals #giftlist #coloradoartist #buylocal #giftguide #tistheseason #artistoninstagram #buyart #handmade #handmadegift #thoughtfulgift #intentionalgifting #nomorestuff #hope #momswhomake #mob #altsummit

When @bitesizedfitness and @bitesizedsis approached me last year about doing a glitter piece I said YES then I remembered that I had no idea how to add glitter… but guys, I figured it out. And glitter adds something special π You are either a glitter person or not, there is no in between. Am I right? #petportrait #glitter #animalsofinstagram #petsifinatagram #catsofinstagram #meow #kittens
