True crime, hot wings, my pups and a glass of wine to work on some digital renders and art commissions. Can’t think of a better Saturday night.

Happy New Year Fam! We will be back to doing live feeds as of Monday! New Year, New Mindset, New Art, New Product Tests, New Adventures, New Classes, New Opportunities! No matter what this past year gave you - honor it, appreciate it for what it gave or took from you and make growth.

Unfortunately life doesn’t always hand you an easy road but at least you are here. You always have tomorrow and life is the sum total of the choices you make. Make the choices that make you happy. Make decisions that get you closer to the life you dream about.

For me, I want to get back to feeling more like myself. To be vulnerable and honest with y’all - Having lost someone so close to me really put me in a tailspin that affected everything in my life - from my art and my productivity to my business and my overall mental wellbeing. It was so profound that I felt paralyzed or in a fog many days and I know that isn’t what Clara would have wanted for me. I will be getting back to focusing on art for the channel. I will be more prompt with my pigment shipments / inventory and do better at answering emails. I tell you all this because we are fam and I want to be honest about my mental health and be held accountable for my growth.

We love you all and hope you will be with us through 2025 and beyond with our art journey - testing products, helping everyone grow in their art journey and having a blast in the process!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays ATD FAM! I appreciate all of the messages asking how I have been doing and I am better. Thank you all so much for being our friends. We will be back on a regular schedule in the beginning of the year. We miss you guys! (Photo from my birthday - we were inside but AI helped me make it more festive lol)

Actual photo from my 40th birthday last year wherein I spent a beautiful dinner on a cruise ship - watching Alabama football lol.

Cheers to 41: The Roller Coaster Edition

As I hit the big 4-1 (yikes! 🤢), I've been doing a bit of reflecting on the wild ride that was this past year. It wasn't all smooth sailing to say the least—with the economy tapping the brakes on my business (slow economy = slow small businesses), my car drama, and the absolute heartbreak of losing Clara…. let's just say 2024 was a lot.

So much so that I ended up on Zoloft, which I'm mentioning not for sympathy, but to maybe encourage someone else who's hesitating to seek help. I pride myself on being a strong minded, independent, optimistic and a generally happy person. It took a lot to talk to my dr about struggling with motivation, concentration, the sluggishness, loss of appetite and overall feeling of gloom that washed over my life when Clara passed. Remember, it's okay to not be okay. I still feel some shame around not being able to control my mental state but I’m taking it one day at a time 💕

But hey, life wasn't just about the tough stuff. I learned how to surf! 🏄‍♂️ Yes, at 40, proving you're only as old as you feel... until you try to get out of bed the next day, that is. Felt like 25 getting on the board but felt like 75 getting out of bed two days later!

So why am I sharing this ramble? Maybe just to celebrate the small victories and remind myself (and maybe you too) of what we've all managed to overcome. If you've made it this far into my birthday reflection, thank you sincerely for sticking with me through this post and this year.

And for those asking what I want for my birthday—just help me keep the good vibes flowing! If you feel like treating me, I wouldn't say no to a birthday drink (or two 😉):

If you want to treat yourself while being sweet to me - just grab something from my shop! Artisttilldeath.com/shop

Here’s to another year of learning, living, arting and maybe a little more surfing

I love you all

Thank you guys for being patient with us while we have been away on location quoting countertops. It’s so nice to be able to take the pups with us when we go work… this time was canvas’s first time in the ocean. It was also a great time for me to step back from the studio and the shop and take in the beautiful scenery. The ocean always calms me - especially with Clara being on my heart lately. Back live tomorrow at 6pm central

Hey y’all! We are on location in Corpus Christi giving a quote for some countertops. Did I ever mention that I give discounts if I can bring my puppies?

Anytime I see a big body of water with rain I think of my late father. I miss and love him so much. Sometimes we would all be swimming when a light rain cloud would roll in - I would get upset if a bit of rain would fall and my face would get wet. He would laugh and tell me that if I went underwater then the rain couldn’t get me wet 💕 memories found in the insignificant moments are so precious to me.

This weekend I am making memories with my love and my pups. Thank you Jenny Quinn for letting us stay at your place while we evaluate your countertops for our newest innovative resin project in Corpus Christi, TX.
