Lens, new painting and a leaf

2022-10-23T14:51:43-04:00

I have received a lot of feedback on my photography, which is wonderful! I just ordered a new camera lens that I will be trying out on our next trip to NYC next weekend. Casey will bring all his gear as well, so there should be a lot of photos from us both soon (check out his latest photoshoot at www.collingsphoto.com/blog). It should be a great trip with great friends, food and drinks! I finished another painting last weekend. I wanted [...]

  A few love notes from the ones who attended the event on Feb. 9th:  "I had a wonderful time! I'm happy with the way my painting turned out and I've gotten lots of compliments on it. I enjoyed the creative outlet, doing something I don't normally do, seeing all your artwork and relaxing with a lovely, fruity cocktail. I had so much fun!" - S.S.  "I had a BALL! I strongly recommend taking advantage of one of [...]

Art Show Wrap-Up: Shadyside

2024-08-26T16:15:45-04:00

Wow, what a weekend! My house is still a mess and the car is only half way unpacked, but we're slowly getting back to our daily routine. The drive from DC to Pittsburgh is really beautiful! You’re driving through mountains covered with luscious green trees. The sun was setting over Pittsburgh when we arrived – a picture perfect postcard to welcome us! I had no idea Pittsburgh was so hilly? How do people drive up and down those [...]

Take a Hike

2024-08-26T18:36:53-04:00

So how did we celebrate our 4 years as a married couple? We decided to put our 3 months of personal training to the test and do a 5 mile hike in the Shenandoah National Park and the Whiteoak Canyon Upper Falls hike (I've blogged about our visits to Skyline Drive before here and here). A 5 mile hike is nothing you say. Well, no. It's not. But this was a 2.3 mile descending hike down to a beautiful [...]

Putting a little ease and grace into the world

2022-02-18T14:10:13-05:00

For me, art is a soft place to land. It’s the place inside of me that I’ve returned to nearly every day for over 30 years. For me, my art is being aligned to my true self. I feel compassion and harmony when I paint. I feel at home. I’ve retreated into my art during life changes that made me feel fragile or scared. Not to hide, but to find myself or the harmony. I remember becoming a [...]

Mentions in the Press

2022-10-23T14:58:50-04:00

Benjamine Moore's Nuance magazine profiled Jill Sorensen and LiveLikeYou recently and one of the renderings I do for the company was included. Yay! I can't draw to save my life so Jill is the artist when it comes to the sketching and then I come in with watercolors and do the actual painting. We've been a good team so far. It's always nice to see your own work in magazines and Jill is a rockstar in the media [...]

Preview: Large Lion Sun

2024-08-27T10:26:42-04:00

Happy June 1st! Summer is officially here and I am so excited to share this preview of the painting I've been working on lately. I really wanted to finalize it this weekend but I've been working on a couple of commissions as well so time ran out. Oh well. It's not completely finished, I still have details to add to enhance it and seal it with glossy varnish which will make the colors pop even more...but I'm too [...]
