a splash of art, a lot of movement, & a spontaneous film


Insider Members,

A smile came to my face.

After many days and late night hours put into this painting…

My largest commission has been completed!

Well I’m currently waiting for the oil paint layers to dry before I can varnish it, but otherwise this large beauty is just about done and will soon be leaving my studio 🥲

A lot of love has been poured into this piece.

I low key kinda wish I could keep it for myself 🤭

But I know it will be displayed, loved, and cherished in it’s wonderful home it was created for 🤍

I’m not gonna share the finished results yet cause I want to get great photos of it when it fully dries 😉 however I’ll at least share a peek of the color palette and a small portion of the painting.

Sorry…not sorry to tease you 😜

Besides painting this past week and working on getting the August edition of my club goodies ready to be mailed (I’ll get to that in a bit), I’ve been spending quite a handful of hours dancing and creating new choreography with my dance students.

The choreography for one dance was completed today and I still have a few more to finish.

It’s been a lot of fun getting to see not only my artistry expand within choreographing over the years, but also really see my students grow in their skills and artistry development.

Getting to work with younger generations is always inspiring to me and brings me joy!

I love the rawness and fresh passion they bring to the studio ✨

I mentioned I was working on getting the August edition of my art mail club goodies ready 🤩

And I gotta say I’m really excited for this month’s art to be sent out!

This artwork has quite the story to it (which all of the club members will get to read about in the letters I’m sending them 🥰)

So far today I’ve packaged 30 members’ packages and I still have over 40 more to package up 😍💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌

Getting to send out the new club goodies is one of my favorites things to do each month ☺️

If anyone else wants to receive the August Edition of art + letter, you have until August 31 to join the club ✨


I uploaded another Costa Rica vlog if you wanna see what adventures Katie and I had on days 5 & 6 of being there 🌊 🪼 🐒 💃 🇨🇷


I had a spontaneous idea strike me to create a short film. It came to me suddenly when I was listening and dancing to the song “The Cost is a Joy” by SEU Worship when a beloved friend Harper sent it to me 🎶 so I grabbed my Bible, couple phone tripods, and went out to the woods in God’s beautiful creation to praise, worship, and dance. These last summer, sunny days are beautiful and I couldn’t resist spending this precious time with Him.

I posted it on my YT channel if you’d like to watch it. Hope it brings you a touch of joy 🌼 💛 ✨


That’s all for this weeks update!

Friendly reminder the deadline to join the art mail club to receive the August Edition is Monday, August 31. I’ll be working on packaging up the rest of the orders over the weekend and Monday 😁💌💌💌💌💌

Love y’all!

Enjoy the rest of August and go make some memorable days 💫 🤙🏽

God bless,

❤️‍🔥Bri & 🐾 Hope

Insider Members, I was stumped… At first I wanted to share updates about this past week like I’ve done this, I did this, I’m working on this, here’s a Bible I finished I didn’t get show you until now… the list went on. Something about that wasn’t sitting well with me. So I sat for a while staring at my screen with practically a blank newsletter. And sitting staring at the screen was getting me frustrated cause I felt like I was wasting time. Why couldn’t I just share about all the things I...

Insider Members, It’s been two weeks since I’ve sat down to write an email to you all. I tried to last week, but I was so overwhelmed. I felt scattered, unfocused, and I could tell I was trying to look for some sort of escape/ break from all that’s been stacked on my plate. Most of the time I turned to my phone and caught myself scrolling on Instagram, when I should have been bringing my burdens to God and being honest about what I was struggling with. I have tendencies to try and do it all...

Insider Members, There hasn’t been a break since coming home from Costa Rica. I have many commissions still stacked on my plate to complete this summer, but I have been making progress and finished one custom painted Bible 🥳 You are one of the first to see it! The lady who commissioned me to paint this Premier Collection NKJV Genuine Leather Bible will be gifting it to her grandma 🥰 She told me her grandma loves magpies (the bird that’s painted on the front cover) And she asked me to paint...
