{Welcome home! The entry in LiveLikeYou.com's newest personality, Aloha Chic.} LiveLikeYou.com recently introduced another interior design personality on its site. This one is a combination of retro island chic with Hawaiian inspired prints and old world flair. I love all the entry ways that Jill designs. I mean, how happy would you be when the first time you see every time you come home is a pink chair and a green parrot? To be honest, I kinda want [...]
We’re kicking off 2014 with a fun and inspiration sale. I love these fun interior design renderings, such happy and intriguing interior designs.

I love immersing myself into the lives of well written characters and beautifully woven storylines. I always have. I particularly devour audiobooks in the studio when I paint and in this blog series I share more audiobooks that pass my criteria for painting to. Listening to audiobooks when you paint is the perfect companion because listening to a story will activate your imagination and distract you from your ego which allows you to tap into your creative [...]

When I started painting at age seven, I thought you had to be dead before you could be a successful painter. It was the mid-1980’s and my only reference about art and a painter’s life came from stories I heard about the old masters–and alas, they were all dead. Everything I’ve picked up along the 35 years since dipping my brush at the dining table in Sweden, I taught myself, playing and with lots of trial and heartache. [...]

Ahh, what a wonderful visit to Colorado! We had the pleasure of attending our friends' wedding in Denver a couple of weekends ago. It was such a great time and the bride was stunning! After eating, drinking and sightseeing our way through Denver (Snooze anyone!?), we visited family who live a few hours south of the city. I haven't seen that many stars in a long time! Feel free to read Casey's blog entry about the trip. Here are [...]
If you find yourself reading this, I see you. I created this outline to support painters, like you, on their path of releasing the resistance that is keeping them feeling ‘stuck’ to allowing the art to flow through them again with a wholehearted supported painting approach. Over the last decade I’ve painted custom pet portraits and I know how challenging life as a painter and creative can be. When we’re faced with resistance, can’t shake what’s bothering us, [...]
