A nomadic Artist, living and creating in a self-converted van, I paint in a jubilant riot of color to harness the splendor of landscapes through which I travel.
Time for another wash walk! 🚶🏼♀️🐶
We camped in the same spot for a good length of time, which meant we wandered through every wash we crossed. Sometimes it felt like I was in a labyrinth, winding through twists and turns, not entirely certain where it would spit us out.
These washes proved to hold more than just rocks to marvel at. Tomorrow, I`ll share some of the "treasures" I found during our rambles.
Long walks like these are what spur my inspiration and creativity. My mind goes quiet, and I allow myself to be carried away by the landscape. There are endless natural wonders to marvel at - the way the scrubby trees twist up toward the sky, the woven roots that lace in and out of the mud walls, so many colorful rocks and fossils, footprints of tiny desert critters, and, of course, lots of trash peppered throughout, but that`s not so inspiring. 🫤
One thing is for certain: some great paintings are in the works! 👩🏼🎨🙌

Strong winds = time to paint! 👩🏼🎨
Living in a van means living in the elements, and lately, we`ve been experiencing some crazy winds.
Thankfully, all my art supplies are easily accessible, and what better way to spend an indoor day than by making art?! 🎨🖌️🙌🏼
Paco is choosing the nap option, letting the wind rock him to sleep. 🐶
One of my favorite parts of hiking, is the moment the van comes into view on our return.
No, not because the hike is over. 🙄
Because every single time, my heart bursts with gratitude and joy and contentment. Every single time, I`m reminded just how much I love this lifestyle, all the ups, the downs, the awe-inspiring landscapes, the quiet solitude in nature, all the people I`ve met, and just how much I enjoy my van - my home.
My heart is full, and I`m excited to see where our adventures lead next. ❤️👩🏼🎨🐶🚐
I didn`t realize just how much I`d use the van`s roof rack for stargazing. 🤩
There`s a perfect Lisa-sized space in front of the solar panels where I can lay and stare up into the vast night sky. On chilly nights, I drag my sleeping bag up with me and snuggle in for cozy comfort as I watch satellites and shooting stars whiz by.
These little paintings were inspired by those quiet moments. Starry skies over mountains and tall trees silhouetted against the bright night sky.
I`ve just added this collection to my shop. DM if you want to add a little starry magic to your life. 🌌

Golden hour walks are my favorite. I`ve missed these quiet moments, but they`re once again part of our daily routine and I couldn`t be happier.
I took a pause from vanlife and spent a couple months with my family. That wasn’t the plan, of course, but that’s what happened.
Most of the time was spent working on various projects around my childhood home, but I did manage to squeeze a few fun things into the mix as well. I was able to attend my niece’s wedding, and I reconnected with people I hadn’t seen in years – some I hadn’t seen in decades!
This is a random photo dump of my time there. Paco spent most of his days on the sofa, and discovered that cow feed pellets make good snacks. My days were filled with chores, cows, manual labor, and I did a little tinkering on the van.
I’m grateful for the extended stay and for all it allowed me to do for my parents while there.
What’s in store for us next? That’s a good question. I’ll let you know when I’ve got an answer.
Hard to believe this handsome good boy has been in my life for 8 years now. I`m so grateful he found me and for all the wonderful memories we`ve shared. 💗🥹
Happy Gotcha Day, Paco. 🐕🐾
