Studio Notes

  1. Updates: What’s going on with my different ventures…

    1. From The Art Coaching Club:

      1. New Email Workshop - only $35 to attend. Learn more!

      2. Tune into Tuesday’s interview with Kim Hassold!

    2. From The Scouted Studio: The Emerging Artist Show launches today!

    3. From Founders Society: We have a great interview with a newly full-time floral preservationist.

  1. What I’m Reading: Since a few of you asked, here are the magazines I️ currently subscribe to (or regularly find myself grabbing from grocery store shelves). This one for style and inspiration, this one for southern flair, this one for stunning decor, this one for dream homes, and this one for artistic stories. If you like my regular mood boards, all those images (or 90%) come from these magazines. Enjoy!

  2. What I’m Loving: All things floral!

  1. This week’s edit is full of florals and whimsy—from painted plates to one-of-a-kind dresses, petal-shaped earrings to perfect PJs. Everything is inspired by the fresh feeling of spring right around the corner. Shop them all here.

Hello Creatives,

Let’s start with the obvious: I didn’t invent the 30-day challenge. In fact, I️ kind of thought the idea was dumb, just a quick way to get Instagram likes or to force yourself to create to the point of not enjoying it. But after this past month? I️ realized I️ was wrong.

A few weeks ago, I decided to commit to doing something creative every single day for 30 days. You can read about it here. No rules, no themes, no pressure to go big—just daily creativity for the sake of creating. Not for content. Not for sales. Not for the algorithm. Just… I️ don’t know…because?

Spoiler alert: it was one of the best things I’ve done for my creative brain (and mental health) in a long time.

Here’s what went down, what I learned, and how you can start your own version.
