Just popped my shop onto vacation mode, as I’m not feeling motivated to put my energy into it at the moment. My now 6 month old is keeping me super busy and I’m preparing to return to my paid job in the next few months. Thanks all for your support thus far!

I’ve been quiet posting on here lately plus taken a step back from creating for a few weeks. The events of the world, in particular the US, have really strained my heart. I feel the pain and hurt that so many are going through, especially my queer and disabled peers. My heart hurts for you all.

Today’s painting theme was “paint with anything but a paint brush”! I used my hands, ribbons, cups, an eraser, sides of a crayon, and a dried up roll of washi tape. Here’s one of the finished paintings! #abstractpainting #art #painting

Painting in progress for my Friday night, which has evolved into a love letter to my baby girl.

How I feel when guests cancel their visit to my house before I’ve started cleaning up:

I woke up this morning and had the urge to make something with clay! We’re out all day but tonight I’m thinking it’s play time 👩‍🎨👩‍🎨👩‍🎨

Artists who sell their paintings on paper, can you tell me how you store your paintings? Thank you!! #art #painting #craftiverse

This original painting featuring native Australian flowers is now up on my Etsy shop! I’ve also added a new section in my shop for larger paintings like this one, which is A3. Link here: dawnexpressionstudio.etsy.com #artyear #artshop #supportsmallbusiness #australianartist

Love 😍😍😍

Feeling connected to my art today ☺️💙 #painting #drawing #mixedmedia

I just went to a doctors appointment booked for 4:45 and the doctor called me in at 4:45…. Very confused. Aren’t I supposed to wait around anxiously for an hour before you call me in?

My stickers have arrived! They are perfect. The whale is from SwallowWindArt and the other two are from SarahMayArts on Etsy! Love!!!

Something I’m struggling with since opening my Etsy shop is creating art for myself vs creating what I “think” other people will like. It’s the main reason I hadn’t opened a shop earlier. Part of me is considering whether it’s worth the effort. Anyway, here’s a painting I’ve started for my own fun.

We took baby girl to her first concert today! It was a live acoustic music concert held in the hills, among the trees. We did lots of dancing and she was all smiles!

Therapeutic art. I feel really anxious today. Can you tell? I did half of these marks just with my hands. The brush didn’t feel expressive enough.

Also I’m officially traumatised from my bottle of black paint. Twice now the paint has dried in the nozzle and when I’m gone to use it, it has sprayed all over me and the carpet. The second time it also sprayed all over my curtains. I need black paint for this painting. Wish me luck.

Not sure what’s happening here but I’m here for it!

My A3 art blocks finally arrived (after one batch that arrived damaged, second batch were out of stock and my order was cancelled). It’s been so long since I painted anything bigger than A5!
