This month’s Studio Notes is a reflection on rest, creative blocks, and the quiet fears that come with stepping away from a small business. As I take a much-needed break, I’m learning that rest isn’t something to earn — it’s essential. I share the thoughts that surfaced while on holiday, gentle reminders about slowing down, and how time in nature can help rekindle creativity. If you’ve been feeling the pressure to always be productive, this one’s for you.

March was a month of finding balance—between a new job, creative goals, and shifting expectations. I had hoped to finish a new art collection by now, but life had other plans.

In this studio update, I reflect on letting go of timelines, making peace with where I am, and what’s new in the shop this month.

February was a whirlwind of travel, commissions, and reflection. I spent most of the month away for work, easing back into routine and reconnecting with my creative practice. In this studio update, I share how I’m staying intentional through busy seasons, what I’ve been working on, and the fresh updates in my shop. Let’s catch up 🌼
