My Daylight: Art Show @ Free People Seattle

Happy Tuesday! I wanted to share some shots from my show earlier this month at Free People Seattle. It was so much fun mixing art with apparel and of course everyone loved having a glass of wine to sip on as they shopped. The store has a perfect little Sale room that we converted into our own mini gallery space for the evening. It was such a great collaboration that we want to do it again with more local artists in September! So calling all Seattle artists! If you love Free People, let us know and submit a few pieces of work that you feel represent your own personal style. We'll choose a handful of artists to show for another wonderful evening of art, wine, shopping and great company!
Hope you're all having an inspiring Summer, Enjoy!!

So this is what I'm thinking...

Happy Monday my friends! I know I've been away for a bit but I promise I've been doing what makes me happy. For me that is making art, but I hope you'll insert your own version of that below, and then do it as much as humanly possible...

My Daylight: Making the Sidewalk Happy

Happy Monday!! Working on a weekend isn't my favorite thing to do, but when the job is to spend the day drawing on the sidewalk, I'll take it! I parked myself outside of our downtown Seattle Free People store all day yesterday with a handful of chalk and a cup of coffee (of course) and made the sidewalk as bright as possible...


I pulled inspiration from our website and our merchandise and just let it unfold. It was so interesting to see people's reactions as they walked through it and a couple people even told me it made their day. Others, like this adorable little girl, were inspired to pick up a piece of chalk themselves and join in on the fun. It was a wonderful reminder of how much simple happiness art can bring. All in all, not a bad Sunday...Enjoy!
