CUSTOM: SAGE GOUACHE
this blue, yellow and pink custom gouache painting was part of a larger gallery wall in the beautiful home remodel. Working closely with the interior designer and my good friend, the homeowner, my piece became a feature in their PNW home
CUSTOM: GOULD PAINTING
This custom painting evolved over 4 years of discussions and consultations, color and size considerations and ever single conversation was pure JOY. I love visiting this 30″x40″ painting made for my dearest friend

CUSTOM ART: BLUE ACRYLIC ABSTRACT
“Hey Angie, you’re an artist. Can you paint us a big blue painting to hang in our living room?” “Oh heck yes I can! But ummmmm, how big are we talking?” This is when my good friend, who is much much taller than my husband who stands at a respectable 6’3 3/4″, stretched his arms …
CUSTOM ART: FAMILY EUROPE TRIP
I moved to Seattle 6 years ago and the very first friend I made is a woman named Amy. Oh wait, I’m supposed to change the names to protect identities! Ok, I’ll refer to her as ‘Shmamy’. No that’s weird I’m not doing that. Gah! This is supposed to be a post about art and …
CUSTOM ART: GOLD FOR THE POWDER ROOM
This was the first custom piece I painted where I was given two pieces of paper to use in the collage. Two. 1, 2, the end. My friend Silpa gave me one worksheet from each of her children. I figured that might be tricky but when I saw the worksheets I knew I was in …
CUSTOM ART: 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
Is there a holiday season that brings more clutter than Christmas? I used to be Grinchy about it but now I Sheryl Sandberg the heck out of it. Multiple advent calendars with all their flaps open clutter the counter, multiple Christmas trees clutter my hallways and heck, even red and gold and green Christmas shirts …

CUSTOM ART: UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BOOK COVER ART (!!!)
Talk about a stretch goal! I had set some goals for my art this year including having a piece commissioned for a public space. I think that painting the cover of the UW Department of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine 2018 Discoveries book means I can put a big fat check mark in that box! You’d …

CUSTOM ART: IT STARTED WITH A SEAHAWKS HAT
I was sitting across from my friend Becky (yes she has good hair but no, she’s not Becky with the Good Hair) during my art consultation. This is when I bring some art samples and we talk about what kinds of colors or patterns you like most. I even make very official looking notes on …
CUSTOM ART: THE LORD BOYS
It started with a simple thought that we’ve all had: I have this thing. I can’t bear to throw it out but if I keep it, what do I do with it? For me, it’s usually sneakers (which I’ve recently started giving to my fellow size 8 footed pals. Send requests here.) As it turns …
YOU CAN BE MORE THAN ONE THING: AN UPDATE ON MY LIFE OUTSIDE OF FITNESS
I haven’t written anything on here in 6 weeks. That’s a pretty long sarcasm-free stretch. How are you guys coping? Why the drought? Thanks for asking! It’s not that I haven’t been inspired or motivated. I have. But I’ve felt I sort of trapped myself in a corner and thought if it wasn’t writing about …

WHAT’S HANGING IN YOUR BATHROOM?
It’s a print you bought at IKEA isn’t it? Your guest bathroom has a boring IKEA print in a boring IKEA frame and you know what? You’re better than that! Your guests deserve a more exhilarating bathroom experience. My friend and mentor, who has acquired some killer art over the years gave me this advice: …
