Well, getting up at 4:45am only to have your fligh

Well, getting up at 4:45am only to have your flight cancelled is not exactly the adventure you planned… but sometimes the universe has other ideas.

There’s something poetic about being an artist who runs a business from anywhere in the world — and moments like this are a reminder of just that. Thanks to @jetblue for making it right with a same-time flight tomorrow AND a stunning room at @hiltonschiphol — meals included! Here I am, iPad open to @powertexproductsusa, catching up on work with the most incredible geometric windows framing the Amsterdam skyline beside me. Only an artist would notice the architecture first. One of the many advantages of being your own boss.

This life — built around creativity, community, and Powertex — has given me friends on every continent. I’m feeling deeply grateful knowing that no matter where in the world I find myself, I have the most incredible community surrounding me. @powertex_international @biancakielstra @monikabroek — I always knew I had backup, and that means everything.

That is a true gift. See you tomorrow, home.

Neunen, Netherlands I walked the same cobblestone

Neunen, Netherlands

I walked the same cobblestone streets, wandered the same soft green fields, and breathed the same air that Vincent Van Gogh once did… and friends, my soul is absolutely full.

I visited the Van Gogh Village Museum, stood where the Potato Eaters cottage once was, and saw the windmills he captured on canvas. But the moment that stopped me in my tracks? His father’s church — the one he painted as a gift for his mother when she broke her leg and couldn’t attend services. He literally brought the church to her through art.

If that doesn’t remind you why we do what we do, I don’t know what will.

The rolling fields, the wildflowers, the impossibly soft light… it was like walking inside one of his paintings. I have been so caught up in the joy of this trip that I am only now sitting in the airport, finally pausing long enough to share this with you before I fly home. My creative muse came home with a suitcase full of peace, joy, and inspiration that I cannot wait to pour into the studio and into everything I create with Powertex.

Vincent persevered through doubt, through struggle, through being misunderstood — and he never stopped creating. Neither will we.

More to come, friends. So much more.

Watch the video and come walk with me…

Oh how I needed this creative time. I’ve so much t

I can't believe in a day I will be walking where V

I can't believe in a day I will be walking where Van Gogh put paint to canvas and created some of the most memorable art in art history.⁠
⁠
Part of my travel plans as I head to the Netherlands to meet with @powertex_international is to give myself a few "me" days, which, as most adults know, are few and far between.⁠
⁠
Close to where I am staying is the village of Nuenen, where Van Gogh produced about 25% of his work between December 1883 and November 1885 - 194 paintings, 313 drawings, 25 watercolors and 19 letter sketches.⁠
⁠
The village is full of inspiration and history of Van Gogh's life and art and I can't wait to soak it all in.⁠

I don't know if you saw the announcement over on t

I don't know if you saw the announcement over on the @powertexusa Instagram, but I am packing my bags and heading over the pond to the Netherlands for a week of refreshment, learning, and creativity with the new owners of @powertex_international , as well as fellow Powertex Distributors from all over the world.⁠
⁠
I have no doubt that it is going to be an amazing experience and while I have been thinking about my travels and my destinations, it has made me a bit nostalgic about, not just my journey with Powertex, but also my journey as an artist. ⁠
⁠
Would you humor me for a bit and take a walk down memory lane with me? You will? Thank you!⁠
⁠
This piece was my first ever textured canvas using Powertex. I created it in 2014 and while...yes...I have learned so many new techniques and tricks in the 12 years since I first put Bister and Texture to Canvas, I still have this piece up in the Powertex USA warehouse.⁠
⁠
Not only do I find it peaceful, but it is a beacon of transformation. My life was very different back in 2014 when I created it and just like my art has transformed and evolved, so has my life. BUT...I still take all the lessons I learned way back in 2014 with me everywhere I go today and everyday going forward.⁠

Today I want to take a moment to celebrate someone

Today I want to take a moment to celebrate someone truly special — my favorite man, Martin. 💙
You might know him as your mailman — the guy who shows up rain, snow, or shine with a smile and never misses a beat. But I get to know the man behind the uniform: hardworking, honest, caring, thoughtful, and yes — absolutely handsome. 😍
He delivers more than mail — he delivers kindness, dependability, and a warmth that lights up every room he walks into. I am one lucky woman.
If you see Martin on his route today, give him a wave and wish him a Happy Birthday — he deserves all the love this town can give! 🎂✨
Happy Birthday, Martin. You are so deeply loved. 💙
