Florapalooza

Every time I draw flowers, it feels like I’m cheating a little bit. Such complex and brilliant blossoms make floral illustration a cinch!

Oh Hello!

Some pictures of an illustration project I worked on while I was pregnant. It was the beginnings of my pregnancy and gender neutral nursery decor was constantly on my mind. 

The bright yellow and dark purple combo really got to me.

Flying high

This Saturday we witnessed ginormous, brightly colored hot air balloons go up in flight! Even with my two feet staying on the ground, it was an extraordinary event to witness!

No matter how many times I see a hot air balloon floating off into the horizon I am consistently in awe of the sheer size and beauty!

Can't wait to share some of my ballooning doodles soon!

Past week

Lately I have been spending a lot of time in my studio working on a ton of new things. Finding balance between work and life is a little tough, especially since I love drawing so much.

This past week, I had a hard time keeping up with all the ideas that kept flowing-  It’s like the floodgates opened and I was drowning in stuff I HAD to draw.

As the summer days pass by, I'm definitely looking forward to getting out of the house to hang out with family. It's crazy that July is almost over already, right?!

Goodbye Maternity Leave, I'm Back to Work!

It feels so good to be back! 

Also a little strange, like nothing has changed and yet everything is different.

My first week was great, it was nice sit in front of my computer again (and the oh so golden silence!), and dust the cobwebs off the work part of my brain.

Getting back into the groove was not difficult. My mind was exploding with ideas and I got drawing right away. 

A truck full of flowers - Illustration in progress. 

I also reopened and restocked my Etsy shop (YAY!). 

You can also follow our adventures on instagram now!   I cannot wait to share photos of the things I’ll work on this summer.

Happy update

There's been a bit of a pause on this blog. But this little break hasn't been fruitless.

You see, I had the most beautiful months of my life - being pregnant and giving birth to my gorgeous son Ayan! Here are a few pictures I took during the pregnancy.

And here is a picture of my (now 3 months old) baby boy. I think he is the cutest , cuddliest baby ever, as I'm sure a lot of parents feel about their kids!

My daily routine has changed considerably over the past few months. Work has consciously slowed down and I have been focusing on enjoying him while he is young.
