My first time painting the Sydney Opera House ✨💕

You’d think after all the time of living here, and many years of having a painting practice, I would have attempted it before… but I was honestly scared and thought I wouldn’t be able to pull it off. Here’s why:

1. I don’t sketch or draw. For a long time I thought I couldn’t possibly ever draw something so complicated. Plus, I don’t like drawing and usually just jump right into painting. I thought that approach wouldn’t work with this.

2. Paintings like this need planning. I don’t have the patience to do that.

3. It won’t fit my style jn watercolour, I’ll have to paint it in oils and I don’t currently have the setup for that.

You know what? It turns out I was wrong about all three! I chose to start small so it was less overwhelming. On a small paper I had less room to get confused about proportions. I started painting without a sketch or planning it out, like I always do. I put down a solid background in the colours I love. I stopped worrying and just painted. What do you think about how it turned out?

Now I’m officially obsessed to finally work on a new range… Stay tuned! ✨💕🌊

Perfect images? Probably not.
Perfect caption? Don’t think so.
Perfect posting schedule? Unlikely.

Perfectionism doesn’t help progress, it hinders it. So from now on I only strive to show up, no perfect content, schedule, or strict rules. Let’s see how I go!

If you’re an artist struggling with perfectionism, you’re in good company. Let’s cheer each other on while we work to stop sabotaging ourselves!

Four mini paintings turn into postcards! Someone a little different from the studio today 💕

I recently held a workshop for my colleagues - yes,
I have another job - and no, we didn’t finish the panels in the one hour I had planned 😅 Regardless, I think it was a success, and we’ll have part two in a couple of weeks!

Would you want to do this with me online? Hands up! Let me know in the comments below 👇🏼

🎄🤶🏼✨ I‘ve been messing around with my oils these past few weeks and it’s been so much fun! With all my travels over the last couple of years I hadn’t been able to use them for too long, so it’s been extra special. I hope you guys will love these ornaments, they’re going to be available later this week!

My first big art market stall, exactly one year ago today 🤯 What a whirlwind life has been since then! If you’ve been following my stories over the last 12 months, you know I spent the year slow travelling to a few of my favourite places, hanging out with (almost) all of my favourite people! From giving up my apartment in Germany, to travelling to Koh Samui to see my brother again after 4 years (!), to my beloved Sydney, a summer in Germany, and now fulfilling a lifelong dream of being in New York, it’s been an absolutely incredible year!

Thank you to all of you who’ve stuck around, and all who have supported me while the business was taking a backseat. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you 🥹 I’ve been working on setting up the shop again for many months and now we are back open for business! I’m more than ready to pursue this and many more of my art business dreams in the coming year and beyond, I truly can’t wait! And hopefully there will be many more opportunities like this to meet you in person!

Day 5 of the #14daysoffruit with @ohn_mar_win was #avocado🥑 I love this quote about leading a creative life by Elizabeth Gilbert ✨💖

“Creative living is any life that you live where your decisions are based more strongly on your curiosity than your fear. And if you consistently, habitually, routinely, at every sort of intersection and decision in your life, make decisions that are based on curiosity rather than fear, then you will be engaging with creativity. Your life itself will sort of become a work of art, if you can consistently live that way.”

💇🏽‍♀️ I did a thing! It must have been 15 years since my hair was this “short”. I know it’s still long, but for a very long time my only hair goal was to have the longest possible, beautiful hair 😅

But over the last year it had grown to a length that started to really annoy me and I knew it also didn’t look as good anymore 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’ve thought about cutting it often over the years, even to a short bob, but I never did. So for me, this was a huge step! We cut off about a third+ of the length and added lots of layers. I’m really, really happy with it! 💖

Returning to the grid after a long absence with this Flamingo 🦩🌴 from my sketchbook 📖

The last 3 months were really hard. My love Lily suddenly passed away on May 4th 💔🌈🐈

I went into survival mode for a few weeks and just couldn’t stay home alone without Lily. She had been quite literally by my side for almost 4 years 😿 So I left to cat sit for other people for a while 😻❤️‍🩹

Then, after I got back home, I got sick following a couple of va****inactions. I had severe pain and cramping in both arms, which also meant I was unable to create for almost a month 🚫

Ok happy to say that after all this I’m now back in the gym trying to build my strength back up, and I also started painting again this week 👩🏽‍🎨 I can’t wait to share more with you now that I’m finally able to do@all the things I love again 💕

Looking back on the 2 years since I first opened my shop in November 2020 has brought up all the feels 💕

2021 was my first proper year in business and it was absolutely amazing ✨ It was a huge year for me in really cultivating my art practice and so many other ways! I set and achieved many goals and was really dedicated to my vision 👁

2022 then hit really differently with many big life changes. I achieved my lifelong dreams of becoming Australian and working 100% remotely. And then I moved back to Germany to center myself, work through old wounds and call big changes into my life. As a result, I didn’t focus on my business as much as I would have liked 🤔

For 2023 I’m setting new goals and want to really align my life and business with my values! May it bring balance, abundance and happiness to all of us✨

And then I moved back to Germany to center myself, work through old wounds and call big changes into my life. As a result, I didn’t focus on my business as much as I would have liked 🤔

For 2023 I’m setting new goals and want to really align my life and business with my values! May it bring balance, abundance and happiness to all of us✨

Dreaming of summer today ☀️🌸🌼🍐🍓

I accidentally took a pretty long break from Instagram. I didn’t plan to, but between moving into my own place and travelling to see family, it just happened. This whole year has been a huge transition for me and I think I’m still catching up. But now that I’ve settled in a little bit I feel ready to get back into painting, sharing, and soon opening my shop up again!

This is a reminder that it’s ok to do what feels right, to trust your intuition. Because guess what, nothing bad happened while I was offline. Sure, I didn’t make strides in my business, but I needed the downtime to focus on other things. I unpacked my entire life from boxes, some of which had been in storage for 10 years. I saw some amazing artists perform, I reconnected with an old friend, I played with my niece and nephew, had wine with my sister, hung out with my friends. I did what I could manage during the time, and that was enough. Thanks to my dear friend Liz who reminded me of this today.

My efforts are enough, I am enough, and so are you 💕

Painting loose florals bursting with colour in my sketchbook, I love how this page turned out 💕 Should I turn this into a fun floral print for the new shop?

Starfish ⭐️🐠 I painted these a year ago in Sydney and never shared! I particularly loved adding all the tiny details to them ✍️

Besides the emotional rollercoaster during the transition of moving I’ve been enjoying the summer here so much! I think the starfish capture that feeling pretty well 💕

🌟 Big news 🌟 Lily and I found an apartment! It’s in the area I originally wanted to move to, it’s a comfortable size, and it’s pretty much furnished too! This is pretty uncommon here so I’m grateful as it saves me a lot of hassle and money! I’m so excited to move in and show you! I’ll finally have my own place and all my stuff in one place. Of course I’m most excited about setting up my studio space in there 👩🏽‍🎨🎨

Lily and I moved 🐈 🌏 After 10 years in Australia I needed a change and was drawn back to Europe!

I have big plans for this next chapter and I hope you’ll enjoy following along as we continue our journey in Germany and beyond! I see a lot of travel, new friendships, and new art in the near future ✨

Once we are settled in our own space, the shop will reopen with a bigger range of designs, plus I’m rebranding! Can’t wait to get back to working on my biz again properly and to share it all with you!

Hello from Germany 💚 Both Lily and I made it over safely 🙏🏼 Thank you to everyone who has been in touch asking if we’re both ok. Everything went smoothly with the move except my suitcase didn’t arrive 🤷🏽‍♀️ Luckily I had already left some stuff here in January 🍀 We’re both enjoying the sunshine in my dad’s garden today ☀️ I hope you have a great weekend wherever you are!

Figs on a dreary day here in Sydney 💜🌧It’s truly miserable outside and I’ve spent the morning painting before venturing out for coffee ☕️ These are my last few days in Australia before the big move over to Europe. I still can’t believe I’m going, I’m pretty sad but also excited now 🥹🤩

As I’m moving this week, I have closed my shop for the time being, and it will stay shut until I’m settled in Germany. A lot of exciting shop updates and additions are coming though, so stay tuned for the reopening in a few weeks. I can’t wait to come back with a bang! ✨

Reminiscing about my trip to South Australia this year makes me feel the magic all over again. It was the first adventure I’ve been on in so long! If you know me IRL you know how much I love to travel ✈️ It’s a huge part of my life I haven’t been able to share (or rather live) since I started this business due to the pandemic. But that’s about to change, and I’m so excited for it! ✨

Crabs 🦀 inspired by some recent real life and painted examples from my travels ✨

I saw some cool crabs in South Australia and also Shark Island here in Sydney recently, all of which inspired these cute illustrated versions 💕 Swipe to see them all up close ➡️

A not so fun fact about me is that I have really bad arachnophobia. So crabs are actually equal amounts cute and terrifying to me because they have 8 legs and remind me of spiders… anyone else?

Colourful pears with metallic details 🍐✨ In case you didn’t know, I love pears 💕 Eating them, painting them, and hopefully one day, growing them! When I was a kid my grandma had a bunch of fruit trees in her backyard, and there was also an old bathtub there, I’m not sure why 🛁 I loved spending time there, it was such a magical place to me 💫 Nowadays it’s my dad’s backyard and still has some of the old trees - plum and apples only if I’m remembering correctly. What’s a magical childhood place of yours? 🏡

What’s your favourite colour combo? 🎨

People often comment on the choice of colours in my paintings. In case you haven’t noticed, I’m obsessed with bright and vibrant colours 😅 I absolutely love combinations of pink and turquoise like in this dreamy landscape. It’s one of my favourite pages in my current @etchr_lab sketchbook 🖼🌷

Butterflies 🦋 Lately I’ve been seeing them everywhere in Sydney, and even on our trip around South Australia we’ve spotted some pretty much every day!

A good friend told me they’re like guardian angels. I’ve come think of them as a reassuring sign that I’m on the right path 🛤✨

Do you have nice stories about butterflies or other signs from nature?

🌻🇺🇦 The tragedy of the last week has been so devastating, I don’t know how to express everything that I feel, think, or want to say. So I’ve chosen to join fellow artists in showing my solidarity with Ukraine and trying to spread a little bit of beauty and hope.

It’s easy to feel helpless but lets not forget that there are still things we can do. We can speak up and express solidarity, we can donate to organisations that help the people on the ground, we can offer help to a stranger in need, we can lend an ear to someone who needs to talk. Do the things you are able and don’t give up 🇺🇦🌻

Assorted Cocktails 🍹🍸 I so enjoyed creating these loose watercolour cocktails and fruit garnish 🍋🍊🍑 My previous cocktail designs were a hit with you guys, and exploring this subject more has been on my mind for a long time! How do these compare to my digital cocktail designs?

New gum painting from my sketchbook! ✨ The first eucalyptus I painted that isn’t purely pink 💕 I loved adding more and more layers of different colours to it. How do you like this bright, playful pattern?

Hello! It’s been a while since I showed up on my grid, and in your feed! It’s been a very busy few months of making and selling Christmas products, and I finally have a minute to give you an update 🎄
Firstly, I wanted to thank everyone that has supported me this year, from the bottom of my heart! This is me at my very first in-person event last Sunday! I absolutely loved it 💕
Secondly, I wanted to remind you that I’m closing my shop for the holidays this Friday at 12pm. I FINALLY get to travel home to see my family and friends after two long years! You will still be able to order but nothing will be shipped until I return to Sydney in late January ✨
I’m aiming to relax, and take some much needed time to focus on my emotional wellbeing while I’m away. I’m sure this will involve painting, so I’m not going to disappear here either! I wish everyone amazing holidays and please take some time to rest after a tumultuous year 🙌🏼

A year ago I opened my shop for the first time! 🥳 I launched this set of Koala Christmas cards on Etsy, and that was the only thing I offered at first. I hadn’t planned to start selling yet, but decided to make these cards in a whim and put them out there. I ended up adding a few baubles but that was it🎄

So much has happened since then! Whether you’ve been here since then, or started following along later, I’m so grateful that you’re here! 💕

PS: They’re available again this year, as a set and individually. Just click on the tags in the post if you’d like to get them!
