2018 :::::: I hope you all have a wonderful Friday! This is a throwback Furniture Makeover from 2018! My customer chose the colors and this piece now lives in California.

Matt snapped this photo of me today. I was just singing and in my zone and I heard the little sound of the camera beside me. He made me blush☺️, not because I’m bashful in front of the camera but because he saw me in a sweet moment of my creativity, lost in my imagination. I think he likes me.🥰😃

I can’t want to post more photos and videos tomorrow! Are you enjoying this little creative vacay as much as I am?!?

The light was my friend today! I adore how it hits this painting, ‘Mimi’s Apricot Roses’. Now available!

Does calling yourself an artist make you cringe in

Does calling yourself an artist make you cringe inside?
Do you downplay your accomplishments?
Are you struggling to charge for your pieces?

Several years ago I would have said yes to every single question. I knew that I wanted to spend my days painting furniture but I was struggling to get other people to see my vision.

Then I did something crazy simple: I went live.

I started going live all the time, painting my furniture and talking about life as I knew it. That one little act changed my life.

The good news is that it could change yours, too.

The BEST news is that I tell you exactly how and then pass the mic to a few of my friends so they can give you their tips, too!

The sun it out and my heart is full. I have always

The sun it out and my heart is full. I have always loved the little white churches we would pass on the way to see grandma Iris. I imagined them more as doll houses and because I’d never been in an old country church, my imagination took me along a fairytale direction full of wonder and enchantment.

I think, today, as I paint and play inside this little gorgeous chapel, I may just pretend I’m the writer of my own fairytale.

It’s going to be a fun week! I hope you’ll enjoy the upcoming photos, reels and stories!!

‘Midnight Passion’ is now available! This hand painted dresser was our February paint tutorial in our Creative Connection membership group. My inspiration came from a gorgeous book, Foraged Flora. The pages are delicious!

It’s #WorldComplimentDay and I am a firm believe

It’s #WorldComplimentDay and I am a firm believer in the idea that we should be throwing compliments around like confetti! There is nothing to lose from sharing a few kind words with your fellow creatives and soooo much to gain. In fact, a few well-timed confidence can make all the difference in the world.

Close your eyes right now and think of a compliment someone has given you; a really powerful one that sticks in your mind.

That compliment, the one you think of with that warm fuzzy feeling in your heart, probably took a few short moments to say but it’s effects are still echoing throughout your heart.

How lucky are we that 5 minutes and a few words are all it takes to bring joy to someone’s life that might possibly last a lifetime?

A few moments every day build a legacy of kindness and THAT, my friends, is something to be proud of.

My March challenge to you is a daily compliment. Find someone to compliment every single day and I promise you’ll be the one who ends up happier.

Start today! Tag someone in the comments and tell them one thing you admire about them.

I like to bring the outside inside. The two should always mingle! This makeover is from 2018 when I started experimenting with really turning furniture into artwork. Thanks for your continued encouragement!❤️❤️

“Vibrant” is the first word that comes to mind

“Vibrant” is the first word that comes to mind when I think of my friend, artist Kristal Molina, because both her personality and her work as an artist (follow her @essential_expressions_ ) are full of joy and color!

Kristal is a talented artist, making everything from stunning portraits (of people and pets) to furniture covered in luxurious blossoms to unique jewelry and magnificent landscapes. This girl can do it all in rainbow color with a bright smile on her face and for that alone you will love her on the latest episode of @painttalkspodcast

The latest episode, featuring Kristal, is out now wherever you listen to your podcasts, or visit theturquoiseiris.com/podcast to learn more.

My newest series, Meet me in the Meadow. Here’s what I know.

At any given moment, one person can indirectly change the course of your design, your art or your plans. One person being honest and speaking from their heart can move you to tears with their passion. It’s contagious and inspiring and I’m forever grateful.

You know who you are, beautiful friend.

HOPE is such a powerful word. Continue to hope and never give up.

Remember this adorable little chapel?

I booked it for a few days next month because I just had to have the opportunity to paint in there. It looks like the kind of quiet, transformative space where real creative magic can happen.

In fact, I love it so much that I went and booked it again....

Join me Saturday, April 17th from 4pm to 7pm at the Old Trinity Chapel at Paseo for an evening of painting and blending basics!!!

There are 15 seats available for this hands-on workshop and, as always, all attendees will be entered into a drawing to win the piece I work on in class. Individual treats and drinks will be served and all county health and safety guidelines will be observed.

I can promise you a night filled with dancing, painting, and a whole lot of laughter.

I hope to see you there for a night to remember!

This was a piece where I taught a tutorial in my paint group in 2019. It was fun to use the @ironorchid_design transfer and combine it with my hand painted flowers! I think the blue over this violet is my favorite part of the makeover.💕💕

Where are my shadow peeps? You know, the ones that prefer to hang out in the shadows, away from the light and attention? Where are the ones that run for cover when asked to stand up in public, walk in front of a crowd or maybe even just raise your hand? Where are you?

You may know someone like this or YOU may be that person that cringes when asked to be the center of attention.

I see you.
I recognize that look.
I’m familiar with the head drop, eyes to the floor kind of body language.
I feel what you feel.

Let me just say something to you, please.

YOU are so worthy of stepping out of the shadows.

You are gifted. You are loved. You are beautiful. You deserve to do more than just breathe...be ALIVE. You don’t have to hide and wonder any longer.

You can just be you, imperfect you.😘

My instincts always want to take me to the beach, but I’m starting to realize a majestic quality in the way they reach up to the clouds and the way the light changes on them throughout the day.

I don’t know about you but this big freeze has me dreaming of spring and fields of green, growing things!

Between longing for sunshine and preparing for the next issue of #IrisJournal, the quiet comfort of emerald was on my mind while I painted my latest collection, Meet Me In The Meadow. These are the kinds of paintings that I just want to climb into and spend a few hours exploring!

I like to imagine these pieces living in a family room or study with a lot of windows and light where someone can find peace and joy.

Can you guess which one is my favorite??

These pieces are available now on my website!
