We're saying good-bye to our tiny bungalow in southern California this weekend to begin an exciting adventure, as we'll be headed to a new home up north in the "little San Francisco of the Pacific Northwest".
I'm looking forward to designing a fresh new garden space, and having a large indoor room for a studio... how decadent!
I'll be back online soon, with all new tales to tell. That's a promise!

Untitled, by Christina Hankins 2006
My sister Christina just finished this painting from a new series she's working on based self portraits (inspired by photos taken by her four children).
I couldn't gush enough over this newest piece... I'm completely in awe. I look at it, and I see every bit of my sister's personality. Playful with color, thoughtful, fashionable, immersed in a world full of everyday chaos but always managing to find that indulgently quiet moment. Beautiful. |

Inspiration 12
I came upon Julie Blackmon's color series "Domestic Vacations", this morning and instantly became smitten by the way she creates such alluring visual stories, with the most captivating interior spaces as backdrops. The quirky children, amazing lighting, and tounge-in-cheekiness of it all really grabbed my attention.
My favorite excerpt from her artist statement:
As an artist and as a mother, I believe life’s most poignant moments come from the ability to fuse fantasy and reality: to see the mythic amidst the chaos.
