Connect with Me

 

I’d love to invite you to join me for a casual and heartfelt live video this week, where I’ll be sharing what’s unfolding in my art world this spring. Whether you’ve been following along quietly or just peeking in with curiosity, you are so welcome here.

Here’s what we’ll chat about:

🎨 Watercolor Week – A peek inside this upcoming experience, Provence Florals, and how you can join us for gentle instruction, encouragement, and beauty right at your table. You can register for 5-days of creativity by clicking HERE.

📫 Paid Newsletter (like Substack) – What it is, why I created it, and how it might bless you in your creative rhythm (especially if you’ve been longing for thoughtful encouragement and artistic prompts).

🌱 The Mending Garden™ is opening soon – If you’ve been waiting for a deeper place of creativity and connection, I’ll be sharing how to prepare for when the doors open again soon.

Encouragement - Psalm 16 and 'If' by Rudyard Kipling

I hope you’ll come—tea in hand, heart open.
With grace,
Gabi

There was always one more thing waiting, and the days slipped by in a blur of tasks and striving. It took a season of exhaustion for me to see it differently. I remember feeling worn thin, stretched to the edges of myself, real...
Searching the In-Between
There are seasons when the ground beneath us shifts, and we find ourselves caught between what has ended and what hasn't yet begun. It feels like searching in the dark for a door that won't open, waiting for a light that lingers just beyond the horizon. I find that the in-between holds both longing and ache. But usually in those in-betweens, the questions stir: Where do I go from here? How do I...
