Welcome and thank you for visiting. May something here warm your heart and brighten your holiday shopping a bit. I’ve created some fun collections for various personalities and preferences. Let’s celebrate the little quirks, stories, and memories that make friends and family interesting. If you’d like to make something similar yourself, you may enjoy the guided creative journeys and art adventures.
I’ve considered the inspiration and the recipients who would enjoy that energy to hand pick these gift ideas. The art can be printed on all sorts of cool stuff from Aprons to Zipper pouches.
My favorite items so far have been aprons, blankets, and tote bags. If you choose to order something from one of the printers that features my art, I will receive some compensation as the artist. However, I won’t receive information about who placed the order. I would love to hear about it or see a picture.
Thank You so much for giving in this way while also helping to support an artist’s family of four. {Colors may vary slightly depending on device and item. If you click on an item on the printer site, you can then choose to see several other items with the same art.}
For Mermaids or Beach Bums: So much of the art that I’ve made has been inspired by the years I lived in the islands of the Florida Keys and time spent on tropical reefs. Here are a few that feel especially fun for anyone who loves the water or walks on the beach.

Featuring: “Visibility” inspired by scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef, Hawaii, and the Florida Keys. Also features the “Expanding with Flow” painting that was created for the Flow Time painting playdate. It has nautilus energy within it.
For Tree Huggers or Hikers: For all those who love Time on the Trail, Walks in the Woods, or feel like Woodland Creatures themselves.

Featuring: “Trail Map” inspired by the beauty in many different types of leaves, especially imperfect ones that have been partially eaten or turning to lace on the forest floor. That painting is also in the Born to Bloom Bright book. I have ordered blankets with the following paintings that came out so vibrant and soft: Trail Map & Leaving the Nest
.
For Gardeners or Flower Girls: Inspired by many hours spent tending to plants, sketching outside, and exploring botanical gardens all over the world.

Featuring: “Panther Priestess” that was created in the Wild Nature online course tutorials and inspired by the Florida panthers. Also features “Communion” inspired by a sweet moment watching a deer and a cardinal noticing each other. Both of those are also featured in the Heart & Soul Double Decker.
For the Sun Goddess: Inspired by the warmth of the sun, the light that it provides, the rising for a new dawn, and the symbolism of those who bring a kind of sunshine, warmth, and light into our lives. Encourage friends to let their light shine!

This collections also features “Pocket Full of Sunshine” which is on the cover of the Born to Bloom Bright book and “Dappled Sunlight” which is printed on my favorite tote bag.

Also features “Chorus of the Moon” inspired by the songs of nature on summer nights in the mountains and a few other paintings with lovely luna moths.

Featuring: “Dancing Rose” inspired by the symbolic blooming of a body moving freely and fully in tune with natural rhythms. Also features “Layers of a Love Song” created during the 2022 Loving, Healing, Creating Summit about Serenading our Souls while painting.
For the Queens of the Kitchen The woman that came into my Dad’s life after my Mom died is all about buttering up those she loves with yummy treats. Do you have anyone who loves to cook on your gift list? The apron I gave her came out great! There are several aprons with my designs to choose from.
For the Woo Woo Friends or Phenomenal Women: Inspired by explorations into the mystic, many spiritual traditions, wisdom, wonder, and the breath of life that flows through all.
Featuring: The “Full Circle” painting that was originally created on a damaged canvas with the hope to heal wounds. It has both masculine and feminine aspects, a symbolic tree of life, flowing water, and sweet honey. It is also on a card in the Heart & Soul Double Decker. Also features “Rainstick and a Didgeridoo” which was a prayer painted for wildfire relief and much more Energy Art.
Do you notice the energy, intention, and attention that goes into the art? I often paint prayers and greet a canvas as both a playground and a temple.
For the Magic Makers: Do you often find yourself saying, “She’s so creative!” Give the gift of encouragement and adventure! Select a creative course or gift certificate that can be redeemed for the art playdate of the recipient’s choice. There are lots of fun projects in the Inktastic Energy Art Adventures. I can provide a supply list with a few items that would go great with the course to create a special gift basket. Please contact me if you’d like to put together something like that. I’m glad to help.
You can also help spread the word by sharing this post with any one who might like choose the gift of art while supporting an artist’s family. Thanks so much!
Warm & Wonderful Well Wishes to You for a Healthy and Happy Holiday Season.
Love,
