Early Access to the Exhale Collection

This cheerful portrait painting was created as an inspiration to lean into the times of inner growth that we face in our lives.

Creams, golds, and greens mix with subtle pink and blue florals. 

The beautiful model for this piece is an Inspirational Speaker, Best Selling Author, and Founder of Anita by Design, Anita Morris.  You can find her videos, book, and community in the links below.

This piece is not for sale, but rather being donated to "Dress For Success Orillia and Barrie".  The good news is that you can still order a print of the floral patterns of this painting with all profits from the sale of the print being donated to Dress For Success Orillia and Barrie, a charity that supports women and non-binary individuals at critical life transitions of employment or re-employment!  See the print here

It is the little things that seem to make up the best parts of our days.  Moments with family, warm sunny spots, cozy times with a pet, tiny flowers.  I am trying to remind myself to cherish those seemingly little things that add up to be the real and truly important things in my day-to-day life.

I created this piece with these thoughts in mind and I hope that they bring to mind your "little things" that are actually the important things.

The trees in the small Ontario town that I live in must learn to thrive throughout all four of our Canadian seasons from subzero to heatwaves, and everything in between.  I'm in awe of their resilience, and how they can grow to tower above my head on my morning walks.

There is something about their gentle presence that reminds me to stay resilient and not give up, and it is my wish that these colourful Muskoka tree paintings do the same for you.

This group of trees "speaks" to me as I drive through my little town in Muskoka, Ontario every morning.  Each tree is growing slightly differently, but still supporting each other, and reminds me of a sisterhood or tribe.

Let this painting remind you of your time in nature and your "tribe".

I know that many times, we as women struggle to embrace ourselves and every part of our journey.  This painting is a reminder that it is okay to embrace ourselves fully in every part of our lives.

Each piece in the Exhale Collection was created with the intention to speak of the places where we heal.  Inside of ourselves, in nature, and in the simple beauty of the everyday.

"just as you are" was created to remind us to embrace ourselves exactly how we beautifully are.
