I've been trying to figure out how to tell you folks here that I had a baby girl without too much drama or fanfare, and the only thing I can think of is that Geico Collect Call commercial from 2001: Bob Wehadabbayitsaboy. I was eleven...how do I remember that?! Anyway, Ihadababyitsagirl. 👶🏻 . #babyannouncement #momlife #motherhood
A portrait of a mother | Happy belated Mother’s Day to mothers past, present, and future. Mothers Day can be bittersweet for some and as always I want to acknowledge those who are missing their mothers and those who are longing to be mothers. My heart goes out to you. . . . #mothersday #happymothersday #mothers #portrait #portraitpainting #watercolorillustration #watercolorpainting
Harry Styles looking Gucci at the Met Gala. . I use to tease my baby sis for her obsession with this dude. Who would’ve thought I’d have my turn of obsessing over Mr. Styles. . . . #metgala #metgalacamp #harrystyles #fashionillustration #fashionillustrator #womenartist #womenillustrators #womenwhoillustrate #calledtobecreative #creativewomen #watercolorillustration #fashionillustrator #lifeofacreative #creativepreneur #creativelife #creativeprocess #creativepreneur #ladyboss #bossbabe #womeninbiz #womenentrepreneurs #artblog #artbloggers #drawadot #gucci
May is Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I created a review of mine and Anthem’s favorite children’s books that help us learn about our Asian-American heritage #ontheblog. Head to my bio for the link. . . . #childrensbooks #asianamerican #asianamericanheritagemonth #culture #books #heritage
This time last year my desk was covered with Met Gala sketches. So ready for tomorrow night! Unless baby girl decides to make her debut. In which case, the husband says he'll set up a way for me to follow the red carpet footage while I'm in labor instead of playing my meditation music. Deal! . . . #fashionillustration #fashionsketch #metgala #metgalaheavelybodies #onthedesk #creativelife #calledtobecreative
Next Sunday is Mother’s Day and if you're in search for something DIY and something botanical, look no further!

I've been tracking my pregnancy on an app. Just realized that it had calculated my due date incorrectly and that I'm actually a week further along than I thought. Folks, I’m 39 weeks?! No wonder my conversations with my CNM have had a more urgent tone. Mom brain at its best, my friends! 😅🙈 . #pregnant #pregnancy #pregancyproblems #pregnancyphotoshoot #pregnancyfashion
The patterns from Dior’s Resort 2020 collection has me reminiscing of the patterns from Valentino Red Resort 2017 collection, back when Maria Grazia Chiuri was creative partners with Paolo Piccioli. It's fascinating to see how Maria’s creative style has moved over into her work from Valentino to Dior. . I did this illustration in 2016 when we were living in South Africa. Lots of reminiscing happening over here. 😅 I believe that’s when I fell in love with illustrating patterns! So ready to paint Maria’s Marrakech inspired patterns. Swipe to see the process of this lovely. . #fashionillustration #fashionillustrator #womenartist #womenillustrators #womenwhoillustrate #womenwhodraw #representationmatters #calledtobecreative #creativewomen #watercolorillustration #fashionillustrator #lifeofacreative #wip #creativepreneur #creativelife #creativeprocess #creativepreneur #ladyboss #bossbabe #womeninbiz #womenentrepreneurs #artblog #artbloggers #valentino #valentinored #valentinoresort #patterns #illustratedpattern

Thank you to the hipster barista dude who complimented my outfit and then asked me what I do...proudly said that I’m an illustrator. You made me feel like a normal human again. . I've been feeling like all people see when they look at me is my belly. All the conversations and the constant touching is because of my protruding torso. I'm excited (and very very grateful) about this babe too, but I'm also excited that I finished three commissions and I'm currently working on one during this pregnancy. And on top of that, my son has started calling me his best friend. I'm rocking growing a human, caring for my fam, and being a boss babe. Just putting it out there that, though I'm pregnant, I'm still me. . Photo by my boy who is thrilled to be learning his way around a camera. . #artist #illustrator #womenartist #womenillustrators #womenwhoillustrate #womenwhodraw #calledtobecreative #creativewomen #fashionillustrator #lifeofacreative #creativepreneur #creativelife #creativeprocess #creativepreneur #ladyboss #bossbabe #womeninbiz #womenentrepreneurs #artblog #artbloggers #pregnantproblems #pregnant

Happy Earth Day my friends! 🌎🌍🌏 How are you honoring this day? Jordan and I started watching Our Planet on @netflix. It’s so great, but prepare yourself for that episode about the walruses! 😱😭 Probably not ideal for little boy to watch right now, so we’re reading our favorite children’s books about our lovely planet and painting our Earth Day printable. It’s all #ontheblog! Link in bio. . #happyearthday #earthday #childrensbooks #childrensbook
Happy Easter! 🌷 It’s our last holiday as a family of three. Somehow our boy has gotten cuter, sweeter and oh so funny! We are loving our time with him before baby girl arrives. He’s anxious for her to be here already (he asks me every day if she’s coming yet 🙄). Sorry, not sorry kid we’re gonna take advantage of this time we have left with just you! #happyeaster
Learning about our lovely home, planet Earth and how to take care of it so all can live here safely and happily. 🌎🌍🌏 Earth Day is coming up and I have a new printable #ontheblog.
