The Secrets Behind My Muses Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog, and if you’re new here, a warm welcome to you!

Behind the Scenes of My New Series: “Parisian Muses”

By |2024-04-29T08:42:20+02:00April 28th, 2024|Art, Artist Life|

There’s something so mysterious and effortless about Parisian women. Maybe it’s how they dress, opting for neutral color palettes, tailored silhouettes, and timeless pieces like blazers, trench coats, and little black dresses.

Never underestimate the power you have to take your life in a new direction.  -Germany Kent It’s 9:00 AM. Like most mornings, it’s serene and quiet as I sip my morning coffee, answer a few work emails, and set my goals and intentions for the day. I have a new painting to work on and my daughter, Avelie, to take care of, but aside from that, my to-do list is pretty short for today. Now, don’t get me wrong, running a business all by yourself can be stressful, especially with the immense amount of time and effort [...]
