Things that Inspire my brain
Where I can, I’ve included links to the artists or places on the internet where I’ve found these—if you see anything you recognize that you have a credit for that I have not included please let me know so I can give the appropriate artist shoutouts!
Stephanie Fehrenbach
Dreamy Oil Paints
Omg just look at her work. Stephanie works in thick, luscious layers of oil paint and also does these soft watercolor pieces. She also works on these massive canvases that push me to go big.
Bia Blooms
Arranging Floral Magic
The blooms that her hands are able to put together are just incredible. Bia Blooms is amazing at using space and levels to make something old-school like flower arranging feel updated with Black Woman Magic.

Interior Goals
Basically I just want to live in this lady’s bougie house, it’s full of color and art and sunlight.
Whimsical Color Party
Heather Day
She’s an artist who gave my brain permission to embrace being abstract and not forcing something to be something. Being whatever comes out of your hands is a-okay and profoundly beautiful.
Art as Play
Haleigh Mun, Author of “Draw Like a Child”
I found her book in a moment of block-y block block and it was like “oh yes, you are in fact allowed to have fun and draw/paint/art what you see and feel.”
감사합니다 Haleigh for the reminder to allow myself to draw like a child!
plus:
spraypaint is glorious
(say it AND spray it)
