Transgender and gender non-conforming people are some of the bravest people I know. This piece celebrates everyone who makes the brave steps to claim their identity. You are all joy icons to me, and this piece is in your honor.

Some people love to say you've got to hustle & grind or tough things out. But the reality is that it's ok to feel Joy. Don't let the stoic, hard work approach sap from you what lights you up and makes you feel alive.
Have you looked for Joy today? It's there. I promise.

Choosing colors is a big and very fun decision--one I make thousands of time for each work of Joy. Very grateful this is what I get to do.

I am thrilled to share that a very special Joy Advisor and Studio Dog has joined our family! Meet Tobson (fka Chocolate)!

He’s an 8 year old Golden Retriever we adopted through Golden Bond Rescue.

Tobson is sweet, empathetic, loving, and goofy—totally perfect, in other words.

Taking Joy from an idea to a painting involves a lot of paint choices, brush decisions, thinking, soul searching, writing, playing, and painting over under paintings.

Every day I am so grateful that this is what I get to do.

My 6+ years in Joy began on a sunset dog walk with Mory (RIP💙). We were under a sky lit up with vibrant colors and I felt Joy. I urgently wanted to know what colors brought my friends Joy. One FB post later, I saw I'd landed on something.

People needed Joy.

What are you dreaming about this Tuesday morning?

This idyllic scene is from a train trip last fall across Bavaria in Germany. I loved this moment of the sun rising over the lake, next to a promenade, near a pier and bench, perfectly situated for morning reverie.

Idyllic morning scene by a Bavarian Lake in Germany from the artist’s trip there last autumn. The sunlight sparkles gold on the water’s surface.

When I see a scene like this one, my mind starts wandering--thinking of the canvases I can paint, the joy I feel laying down color with those brushes, the connections that come through vibrant colors and my writing about Joy.

Were you a daydreamer, are you still?

It's my birthday! I'm not snowshoeing today--I'm just back from some sun-filled weeks near the ocean and sea where I was busy snapping up colors and finding ideas for new works of Joy! (More to come on that)

How do you celebrate your special day?

Today is my birthday. I invite you to find yourself some Joy today. I had cake with breakfast, for example. #findjoy #SpoutibleBirthday

A healthy breakfast birthday with an egg, blueberries, and a slice of delicious Duncan Hines marble cake just like my Mum made.
