About Me

My purpose is to create artwork that makes people smile, frown, cry, laugh, or relax. Putting water and paint on paper is as simple or as complex as I make it. Watercolor painting will never get old.

Over here painting and creating new products to sell at @grassyhollowcollective ... boxed notecard sets, dot grid journals, large watercolor greeting cards and @stanley_brand tumblers.

Grand Opening this weekend ... stop in for diy projects and demonstrations by local artisans.

Got the bug to make a Magnolia Pearl-inspired something from my scrap materials bin. Settled on this crafting tool belt to hold all my stuff whether I'm sewing, painting, framing or whatever!

What things would you put in yours?

Found the perfect solid wood dresser in the basement of an estate sale and stripped it down. Stained it to match the crib and hand painted the wooden knobs. A labor of love ...he'll be here soon!

Kicking off the week with a happy Monday wish! I'm excited to share a snapshot of my peaceful morning yesterday, spent working in the studio and photographing this lovely fresh bouquet.

As a kid, my room would be cluttered with paintings and papers and projects. My parents would bag up the "trash" when I went to stay with our grandparents for a week in the summer.

I was excited as a kid when I saw my clean room, but I didn't consider the meaning behind it. I don't remember anything being saved... so there was no value in what was there?

Did you have this experience as a child, or do you clean your kid's room while they are away?

I don't beat myself up over my cluttered office. As I learn more about how to manage my ADHD, I'll be able to have my stuff in a system that makes sense to me. And which things I want to upcycle or recycle on my own terms.

Zentangle from today's meditation focused on I can't fix you ... this is what I'm feeling in this moment. Do you write or sketch to express how you're feeling?

What happens when you start to rinse your watercolor palette, see the water making cool rivelets, grab a small watercolor paper scrap, and transfer. Add an ear with a pen. "Man With a Blue Eye"

Need a special, one of a kind gift? I paint dot grid, planner/notebook/journals with customer floral designs. From sketching to transfer to painting, it's a meditative process I love. #samandgeorgeart

Inspiring private viewing of Max Beckmann prints at @stlartmuseum sponsored by @stlartistsguild. What an amazing resource we have in STL.

This work was created in the post-WWI Germany, Expressionist movement intending to depict cynicism, alienation, and disillusionment.

I learned about drypoint printing and how Beckmann used the process to refine his images. I can relate to the urge to tweek and change things in an image. And feeling like, is it ever really done?

If you see me in a mini ponytail...it's not that I think it's cute. It's because I am 1 hot flash away from a pixie cut. 🤣 So be kind and don't judge. 😁 #samandgeorgeart

Sometimes, I need a shield, a harder shell. Mine would be a turtle shell with flowers. Protecting the softer parts. Be gone annoyances and distraction!

Do you need a shell? What would yours look like? Argyle? Chevron? Paint splatters?

Serenity Prayer framed mini watercolor paintings now available on Etsy. Great reminder in these chaotic times that no matter how hard we try, we can't control everything.

The Serenity Prayer stands the test of time. I painted a border of happy little flowers. They're framed 6x6, the perfect size for a bedside table, dresser, or desk. I love how they turned out!

Do you doodle? For me, it's a mindful relaxation technique. I have a basic sketch of something and just start filling it in with little lines and scratches. Am I seeing the inside of a petal or the outside of another? Yes. What do you doodle while you're sitting on a Zoom call?

You can never tell if it's really Spring in the Midwest, but I'm hoping! Painted this dot grid journal today with this dainty flower pattern. Know someone who needs the perfect Spring pick-me-up gift? (It could be you ...)

Did you know you can take your Stanley full of ice through airport security? Then, fill with water once inside for icy beverage all the way to your destination? Wouldn't travel without mine.

Gifting season is coming ... check out our Stanley collection. Don't see the perfect design? We take custom orders, too.
