Simply be yourself, as if, it was possible, at least bite into it!
A very unfiltered week 😅
Family, motherhood, exhaustion, admin overload, cooking for 14, missing Paris and my daughter, artist life, Glow!, New Mexico dreams, unexpected gifts from another artist… and somehow making the Top 15 of The People’s Artist competition 🤍
A little journal entry!
Sometimes life gives you beautiful milestones and emotional exhaustion at the exact same time.
This past season has been filled with difficult realizations, family transitions, moments of pride, moments of doubt, motherhood, fatigue, growth, letting go… and also deep gratitude.
A reflection on what happens when we keep showing up because we must, even while emotionally and physically depleted — and on learning that balance is not only needed after the storm, but before and during it too.
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers 🤍
As many of you know, making the invisible contributions of women and mothers more visible has always been at the heart of both my art and Unchained Mothering.
Today, if you’d like to support me and my artistic journey, you can also help make my mother’s contribution more visible ✨
I’m currently in 1st place in my group in The People’s Artist presented by Johnny Depp, but the race is incredibly tight and every single vote truly counts.
Voting is free and can be renewed every 24 hours 🙏
Thank you for being part of this journey and for supporting art, mothering, women, and visibility.

I used to feel like I had no control over my time or life.
Learning to say yes to others… and also to myself changed everything.
This week: life in motion, and a moment that matters—
“Wow! You Are Amazing!” was acquired at The Bass Museum of Art by a collector it truly resonated with.
Exactly where it was meant to be.

Summary
Complaining.
Comparing.
Feeling.
And ultimately — trusting.
Because in a single week, life can hold everything —
what breaks the heart, what limits us, what lifts us, what finally comes through.
Life holds a portrait —
sometimes visible to all,
sometimes only to oneself.
And somewhere between what is seen, what is felt, and what is understood,
we are simply learning… to trust that things unfold as they should —
and that it is also in our hands to choose to trust,
and to make it for the better.
so parislux !
