#LACreatives: the local artists who inspire us

Through a mix of mediums, formats and perspectives local artists illuminate the unknown, color the previously black-and-white and add depth to our understanding of our surroundings, our lives, circumstances and more. Through our research process for the Thought provokers series we’ve come across so many works of art that have inspired us and we’d like to share some of our favorites we you below.

I don’t quite know How to say How I feel . Those three words Are said too much They’re not enough . If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? . #namethatsong . This is the new life after the recent Malibu fires. Can you believe this “field” of yellow flowers was actually just a tiny patch in the middle of a burnt field? Endings bring new beginnings. 💕 . . . . . . #malibuengagement #malibuwedding #malibuweddingphotographer #malibufire #malibubeach #californiawedding #californiaweddingphotographer #socalwedding #socalweddingphotographer #preweddingshoot

2018 IN REVIEW:::: > Instagram will only let me include 10 photos in this post, but here’s a selection of original work I’ve sold over the past year. I am unbelievably encouraged by and grateful for my new (+repeat!) collectors and feel ready to paint my way into the new year. I’ll do a post shortly with originals still available for purchase! 💙❤️ #abstractart #abstractpainting #artforsale #artcollector
