  1. Honored to announce that I've received the 2022 United States Artist Award in Visual Art! @unitedstatesartists "Join us in celebrating the 2022 USA Fellowship awardees — the creative disruptors, social sculptors, and material vanguards who ignite our imagination beyond limits. USA Fellowships are $50,000 unrestricted awards, with a year of financial planning, that recognize artists for their contributions to the field and allow them to decide how to best support their lives. These generative practitioners create objects, movements, narratives, spaces, and contexts that move our culture forward. Some are social sculptors and working within and for a community is essential to their process. They are driven by the belief that shaping a better world is first and foremost a group effort. Others are material vanguards, developing bodies of work that honor their personal histories through material and technical exploration. They transform the unconventional, overlooked, and mundane to build new worlds. And many are creative disruptors, those who work across mediums and genres to challenge established systems and norms, staying committed to their practices by resisting self-doubt and embracing play. All of these artists practice across these ways of working – unbound in their thinking and unbound by the status quo."

  1. Did I just nail my first pull up in 18 months? ⠀ ⠀ Hell yes I did. ⠀ ⠀ 🙌🏻🎉⠀ ⠀ The last time I pulled my chin over that bar unassisted was when I was 8 weeks ish pregnant with Liv. ⠀ ⠀ As you can see it took a little bit of a pep talk/dance but I did it and then I did 3 more. ⠀ ⠀ I have thoughts about how long this took, I have updates as to how I’m feeling about being 10 months postpartum, but right now I’m just celebrating a win.

  2. 14 years ago today my fiancé died in a plane crash. His name was Josh and I think about him all the time. He was 23 and worked in IT. While returning home from a business trip his plane crashed into a field in Indiana. 14 years is a really long time and though the years have passed the grief has not. It doesn’t come all the time anymore but when it does it takes me out. Imagine standing in the ocean and a random wave hits you. It buckles your knees and takes you under. Bam. Unexpected, inconvenient, startling. In 2006 the grief was like swimming in the ocean & getting pummeled by waves over and over. I could never catch my breath, I wanted to give up. In 2020 the waves are intermittent. Unpredictable, but they don’t ruin me as long as I surrender to them. I’ve learned that when a wave comes I must let wash over me no matter how fucking hard it hurts me. 

It reminds me of his life. 
It reminds me of our love. It reminds me that I am still alive. Josh embodied kindness and love. He was soft spoken (but loved very loud music) and had a smile that would light up a room. 14 years ago, the call that began with “I don’t know how to tell you this” will always be one of the hardest and most formative experiences of my life. Losing him shaped everything about me. I love hard now. I feel things so damn deeply. That is a blessing, a blessing I struggle with it. Someone I loved died and out of that death came an appreciation for life. Which is a good thing. But someone I love had to die for me to access it. Its an appreciation and a resistance that you can only understand if you’ve lived it. After 14 years the memories of him often feel condensed into a highlight reel that can be hard to access at times, but the emotion of it? It’s all there. It’s intense and something I struggle to put words to. My body + brain just know that he’s gone and that it was really traumatic for me. I feel on a deep level the love, the loss, and the hole that will always be there despite the scar that covers it. Joshua….I hope you’ve found the loudest speakers heaven has to offer and you’re still using them to blast Jessica Simpson music. I miss you always.

  3. Lake house Lake house before + afters➡️➡️ About a year ago Tyler and I started looking at lake houses. As we drove around that first day I said to Tyler and our realtor “I just don’t want a project” Let’s all pause to laugh endlessly about that. When we walked into the home we picked it screamed GREAT BONES, FULL GUT! And though I could see the vision I was still skeptical. I mean the walls had plaid wallpaper. This wasn’t going to be easy. And I was right about that but damn it’s been worth it. We are on our second weekend up here and filling this place with family and friends, card games, snacks, and boat rides is exactly as wonderful as I predicted. Special thanks to the people who helped make it all happen. Joelle created the look. Isn’t she amazing? @joelleelainedesign Bob the builder who doesn’t have IG is basically my surrogate dad now that we’ve done 2 projects together. Dave at @shoproyalflooring @paramount_flooring : Obsessed with their LVT which is perfect for this place. @shawfloors : carpet @fisherpaykel: appliances
