My Painting Collection | 20 Paintings | 1 Year of Painting Each Week

---

This week marks the official launch of Backwards Beauty Collection One — a series of 20 original oil paintings that I’ve poured my whole heart into over the past year.

When I began this project, I honestly didn’t know where it would lead. After illness had pulled me away from my art, I turned to AI as a playful experiment, just to spark some ideas. I never imagined it would reconnect me so deeply to painting. But out of those experiments came the vision for this collection: women seen from behind, inviting you to step into their world, to imagine yourself in their place, and to find beauty in mystery.

Each Beauty carries her own story — some walk through gardens with birds and blooms, some linger by the sea, some carry magic, memory, or quiet strength. Together, they form a collection that is both nostalgic and fresh, rooted in history yet alive with modern emotion.

And now, after a year of painting every single week, the Beauties are ready to step out into the world. The collection is live you can view them in my shop

One Year of Painting Every Week — What I Learned

This week marks a milestone I never imagined I’d reach: one full year of painting every single week. ✨

When I first started the Backwards Beauty collection, I wasn’t sure where it would take me. I had just come through illness, and honestly, I felt disconnected from my art. Out of curiosity, I began experimenting with AI images — something completely outside my comfort zone — and to my surprise, it brought me back to painting in a deeper way. That spark of playfulness became the seed of Backwards Beauty.

Over the past year, I’ve painted twenty Beauties. Each carries her own story and presence, and together they’ve re-connected me with why I paint in the first place.

In this week’s video, I’m sharing a compilation of the final ten Beauties in the collection, plus some behind-the-scenes moments as I get them ready for launch on September 8, 2025.

I also share a few honest reflections about what it’s been like to show up every week:

• The challenges of consistency when progress feels slow

• The surprising ways curiosity can heal and inspire

• Why sharing my art online still feels vulnerable — and why I keep doing it anyway

If you missed Part One, you can scroll down to last week’s post where I shared the first 10 Beauties. Together, these two videos capture the full journey of creating Backwards Beauty.

Thank you for being here with me. Whether you’ve been following for a year or just found me today, your presence makes this journey meaningful. My hope is always the same: that something in my work invites you to pause, breathe, and see beauty in a new way.

Behind the Collection | 10 Paintings in 1 Video (Full Compilation)

---

This week I’m sharing something very special — a 2 hour 40 minute compilation of painting sessions from my Backwards Beauty Collection. 🌸

These 10 paintings are part of my very first Backwards Beauty Collection, which officially launches on September 8, 2025. In this video, you’ll see every brushstroke, every layer, and the full journey of these artworks coming to life.

This project began one year ago, and it feels perfectly full circle to be sharing them with you now. Creating this series has been a mix of nerves, joy, and discovery. I hope watching these time-capsules of painting sessions brings you peace, inspiration, and maybe even a spark to pick up your own brush.

A Week in My Life as an Artist: Failures, Wins & a Special Offer

This week’s video is a little miracle. I started with so many ideas for new paintings… then my brain decided to serve up every reason not to start. You know that kind of paralysis? By the time I shook it off, I had run out of time.

So instead, I’m sharing little moments from my week:
✨ The peaceful spot I planned to paint (but didn’t), captured in beautiful b-roll.
🎨 A special offer on original oil paintings (limited time).
📅 A very exciting announcement — the launch date of my new art collection, plus the story behind it.
🖌️ A simple DIY: brush holders made from air-dry clay, filmed long ago but never shared.

Thank you for being here — sharing my work with friends truly helps more than you know. 💛
