TODAY IS THE DAY.
My brand new website is born — woohoo!
I have been pouring my heart into this site, and I couldn’t be more happy to share it with you today. Seriously — what a satisfying feeling, omg.
There is so much love and beauty nestled within these pages, and I hope you’ll take some time to discover it all for yourself.
I want to send out huge thanks to 7/Apps here in Portland for creating this beautiful and innovative site and to Zipporah Lomax and Tara Morris for all the gorgeous photos that truly make it come to life.What an honor to collaborate with such wonderful human beings.
This website launch also marks another exciting beginning, the unveiling of my brand new online program called, Studio Diaries — monthly inspiration to nourish your creative soul. Again, soooo satisfying.
I made a little video to tell you more about it, and I also created an entire FREE Diary to share with you today. I told you today was exciting!
How lack of inspiration led to a new idea
In all honesty, the inspiration to create Studio Diaries actually came from my complete lack of inspiration to create a Bloom True “Level Two” E-Course. So many of you have asked for a Level Two course, but in my heart of hearts, creating another highly produced, multi-week, static E-Course just wasn’t feeling exciting to me.
And you know, I gotta listen to my heart.
You see, I created the Bloom True E-Course three years ago, and I’ve revised it over and over to the point of absolute loveliness (Check out the gorgeous newly designed self-paced version right here. I really am so proud of it!)
But after some serious soul searching around this question: “What IS the next thing I want to create and share?” I realized what I want to create is something totally new and different — something raw, current and ever-evolving that offers a heartfelt capture of everyday life in the studio and beyond.
This is where Studio Diaries comes in.
Studio Diaries invites you into my studio (in the most awesome virtual sense), where I share my latest painting sessions, ideas, inspirations and … friends.
Each monthly Diary explores a different theme through a series videos and written prompts. To give you a better understanding of what a Studio Diary actually looks like, I’m offering you the first month for free — check it all out right here!
In full transparency, this first free month was filmed and edited by yours truly, so I could really get an understanding of the entire process (hello learning curve!). The entire creation of this Diary was a big experiment, and I really did learn a lot, most especially that all future Studio Diaries will be filmed with my fancy HD camera making them nice and crisp for your viewing pleasure!
If you feel inspired by what you see in this first Studio Diary, please consider joining me for future Diaries. From now until November 1st, I’m offering a super sweet Celebration Special — $180 for one full year of Diaries (that’s only $15 per delicious Diary).
I’m passionate about making this new content both really inspiring and super affordable, so more people can have access to it.
That said, if you’re feeling the Studio Diary love, this is the time to jump on in!
I also have some brand new Bloom True Workshops and Open Studios available for you today. I look forward to painting with some of you here in Portland in the new year!
Grateful always,
