Hello 2026 (a quick note from Italy)

Hey, hello there, friend!

Happy New Year!

This is a little note I wrote before heading to Italy, because for the first time ever, I’m traveling without my computer. Still, it felt important to show up here on the very first day of 2026 and say hello.

This past season of creating asked a lot from me. Sixty days of painting, showing up daily, trusting the process, and letting the work unfold in real time. And what made it truly special was you, this community that supported, encouraged, collected, shared, and followed along.

In full transparency (and embracing my very real air mind moment 😅), I didn’t announce the giveaway winners before leaving like I had planned. Instead of rushing it, I decided to extend it so it feels clear and fair for everyone.

Here’s how it works:

Every art purchase from the art challenge collection made now through January 10 will be entered to win. FIND YOURS HERE.

• Buy 1 mini → signed art print

• Buy 2 minis → 2026 wall calendar

• Buy 3+ minis → original mini painting (artist’s choice!) + 2026 calendar

When I’m back, I’ll personally announce the winners and ship all prizes with love.

Mostly, this is just a thank-you. For being here. For caring about art. For making this creative journey feel shared.

Wishing you a colorful start to the new year, wherever you are in the world.

PS. If you haven't got your wall calendar 2026, FIND IT HERE!

Color Your Life!
