My resolve for the rest of the year is to overcome my discomfort of making a spectacle of myself by taking more photos of myself next to my paintings. I’ve come to realize that it is through recognition and familiarity that one forges stronger connections—which is my impetus for putting my work out there in the first place. 🤍

Spent so much time near the ocean the past month I knew I had to incorporate that feeling of boundless connection and oneness with the sea into this new collection.

I’ve been getting messages asking when I’ll be releasing a new collection ever since the last one sold out so I carved out time to create an entire series that will be available exclusively to those in my collectors list for a month. The new series will be released May 18th. Be sure to be on the collectors list by then to get first dibs and special rates. Follow the link in my bio to sign up and receive an invitation for an early preview on May 18th. I hope you’re all having a good evening. x KS

Breaking blank canvas intimidation by summoning your inner child and making intuitive (albeit sometimes very messy) marks—this is a practice that has served me well in navigating life itself.

There’s nothing more therapeutic than transmuting my inner state into something tangible. I constantly have to remind myself that that’s where the value of my vocation lies—not in the subsequent reception of the work produced.
