"My morning begins at 5am with a morning coffee that I share with my husband before we both head out the door for the day. I lift weights at my local gym, come back home for a quick shower and breakfast, and I'm usually in the studio by 11am. The music turns on, usually Carin Leon or a throwback to Joan Sebastian (anything Mexican and emotional really gets me going), and it's GO time!"
"Because I have herniated discs in my spine, I have to constantly switch what I'm doing to keep the pain at bay. I clock in a ridiculous amount of Spotify listening minutes every month because it helps me focus and stay on track. My studio is at an old elementary school, so you can find me having lunch on the playground or taking a long walk through the vineyard."
Morning begins at 5am with coffee shared with a husband, followed by weightlifting, shower, breakfast, and studio arrival by 11am. Music, often Carin Leon or Joan Sebastian, sets a focused mood for simultaneous drawing, painting, embroidering, and large-scale scroll work. Herniated discs require frequent task-switching to manage pain and sustain productivity. Heavy Spotify listening supports concentration. The studio occupies an old elementary school surrounded by vineyards, enabling playground lunches and long vineyard walks. Workdays extend past sunset, sometimes requiring a headlamp to return to the parking lot, with daily sustenance often limited to strawberry protein shakes and coffee.
