Being Present…
the color deepens,
the air is clearer and life is richer.
this new collection was born out of the desire to be present through all the craziness and chaos.
Choosing to see the beauty around us and in us.

It all started with a busy day
I remember when I was going on a run, I had my to-do list running on one side of my mind and the other side just craving to be present. They felt like they were at war but then I passed a very large aloe plant and stopped. I turned around and went back to it, admiring its beauty and just how big it was. I returned to my run and started to think. Is it possible to live in each moment and allow it to breath life into you? In the chaos can I just be present? Maybe I would see things differently if I could.
That aloe plant, just standing still while the world rushes around it, and it just stays content and steady. Being ever so present inspired this collection.
what do you do when life is running all around you?
mindfulness…
Sometimes we want to look for a space that can help us slow down and be present. I wonder if it all has to start in our minds. Being mindful of our thoughts, then I find it easer to see with clarity, to walk in the present moment.
‘Mindfulness
being present,
without judgment,
in every moment.’
-Karmomo
choosing to stand still
Life is full. Full of our to-do list, full of moments we can control to moments we can’t. Full of beauty and discomfort. So how do we live life to its fullest?
Making the choice to stand still, to see what is around us as something special to be in and learn from. Our feet just need to feel grounded sometimes. Something so simple as a cup of coffee, in the early morning to maybe another one in the afternoon with a friend. The look and smell, have the power to bring us to a place of being present.
Using coffee in these paintings help usher in the ability to choose to slow down, to notice movement and beauty right in front of you.
design your environment
Yes, that can mean creating a space with things that draw you to be present. That help carry beauty, authenticity and movement through you space.
But what if we created space where we could always live in the present. Where we could stand in a crowded city and see the beauty around us. Or maybe get lost in nature and allow its movement to relieve all our thoughts. What if, with every step we took, we allowed the feeling of being present to control our thoughts and actions. A place where joy, actions and colors thrive.
These paintings have taken me on a journey of
starting to experience being present in every step I take.
May your homes be filled with space where you can be present.
To see what is right in front of you as an opportunity to thrive.
Friends, we are made to thrive and
being present is just one step of the journey.
