Been practicing. Surrendering that is. To time mostly. To the changes in my life since becoming a mother. With each day and night, no matter if it goes as planned or not.  To my art, in appreciation for completion, even if it took a week or more. I’m learning it’s much easier to swim along [...]

Last year I worked with two fun, new clients — Strada Advertising, and their client, Mesa del Sol, New Mexico. Mds is an exciting new land development in Albuquerque focusing on sustainability, both with the environment and daily life. This is one of several illustrations I did for their new upcoming website and ad campaign. [...]

Photographer (and Mama to Baby Arun) Rachel Movitz recently commissioned me to create a blog banner for her. She, her husband and baby Arun are headed back to India tomorrow for 3 months! Despite my book and other work deadlines, I snuck it into my late night schedule because I have had several dreams lately [...]

I can see it, Tulsi can, too. The light at the end of this long tunnel of a journey to finish the book I keep telling her I’m making for her. My mom is here this week and is helping me SO so much so I can paint, paint, paint. This is such a gift! [...]

I’ve been a mom for two months now and feeling in such a nice groove with little Miss Tulsi. I’ve slowly dipped my toes back into freelance and am being very gentle about expectations for myself and time. Some days I have more time, others none, so I’m just going with the flow. Literally! It’s [...]

Hey there! Hope you are having a beautiful weekend. We were surprised with several inches of fresh snow — a fun change from the 60 degree weather! Bring it on I say!
With Baby coming soon (and my attention elsewhere), I thought I’d do another give-away. I recently received samples from my cardstore.com collection and want [...]

Time has been passing by so quickly lately. Thus, the lack of blogging. Feels like I’m on a boat ride in a swift current on the Ganges, feasting on every color and shape and sound, but I can’t freeze a single moment. Everything just mooshes together into a certain vibrancy; a feeling.
I worked around the [...]

I’m feeling super grateful for these last warmish days before winter—word is out that snow and cold are coming soon! The baby (in my belly) gives the sweetest kicks the moment I squeak first thing in the morning. (Yep, I’m a squeaker.) When it does flips, however, I sorta feel tipsy. (What a strange feeling!) [...]

Fun news! My cardstore is open! Over 50 designs for special occasions, or no occasion at all — AND, more to come. I’ve received samples of my Cardstore designs and am so impressed with the quality and color. They are really beautiful. When you place your order, you have the option to personalize the cards [...]

Well, I slept off my mountain exhaustion and am feeling all oxygenated. I have some fun new projects and am now diving into my book head first. Weee. Also, I just posted about our visit with Mata Prasad on chai pilgrimage. It was fun revisiting our time with him! Such a sweet man.
Here is a [...]
