  • Spent this past weekend planting seven varieties of squash + two varieties of potatoes with my grandfather. 🌱 Oh! And wildflowers for the bees. 🐝 #organicgardening #slowliving #savethebees
  • Thank you, @ofnotestationers and @evamoonpress for the lovely giveaway prize! 💌 It’s been too long since I’ve written a letter, and I look forward to using this set to get things going again. ••• #textlesswritemore #handwrittenletters #snailmailrevolution #femalebusinessowner #supportsmallbusiness 📷: @ofnotestationers
  • It’s been a long while since I’ve published any of my creations, and today seems like a good day to begin again. ••• As I write this, my first ever submission to The Sketchbook Project (@thesketchbookproject) is in the mail! It was such a wonderful experience and was just what my creative self needed to get things flowing again. ••• I chose to work with the theme “things I’ve left behind,” and here’s the introduction from my sketchbook: This book is filled with "things I (could) have left behind"—ephemera collected from packaging, periodicals, advertisements, and stationery that would have otherwise been tossed and forgotten. Or, in some cases, things that were indeed left behind by others, waiting to be discovered and repurposed. Amidst the tragedies of materialism and our throw-away culture, this book is an exploration of how a circular and conscious economy might extend to fine art. In the pages that follow, you will find my effort to give the almost-forgotten a new life and meaning, wielding a precision that celebrates these bits of paper and foil as anything but trash. ••• #thesketchbookproject #collageart #brooklyncollagecollective #collagedesign #minimalism #zerowaste #lowwaste #minimalismart #artdeco #modernism #abstractart #upcycledart #consciouscreator #femaleartist #communityart
  • Spending my Saturday proofing a book that is now four years in the making! I am so grateful that Leigh Sanders (@intuitiveleigh.raw) invited me to collaborate with her on the namesake book of The Art of Compassion Project (@artofcompassionproject). ••• This is the first book of its kind—a collection of heartwarming and awakening vegan art from eighty artists around the globe. Through the power of visual and literary art, this book aims to expose the plight of animals, to empower animal rights activists, and to inspire the compassionate lifestyle of veganism. Complete with an eclectic body of 180 artworks—as well as twenty in-depth artist interviews and seven touching poems—The Art of Compassion is the perfect coffee table book for every conscious home. ••• Also! All proceeds from this book support Veganuary (@weareveganuary), an organization dedicated to changing public attitudes and making the transition to veganism as easy and enjoyable as possible. ••• Stay turned for the book’s release this fall! #veganart #animaladvocacy #animalactivism #creativeactivism #artivism #artforchange #veganartist #govegan #veganuary #bookrelease
  • “Creative work is like the breath—it comes and goes, comes and goes.” ••• To read more inspiring words from artist Kelly Laughlin (@kellylaughlin_) of Odette Press (@odettepress), head over to my blog (link in profile) and read about her creative journey, her love of creating on the road, and all about her portable art studio. #travelingartist #femaleartist #ontheroad #papermarbling #creativeinspiration #creativeprocess #artistinterview
  • ✨New on the Blog ✨ CREATING ON THE ROAD WITH KELLY LAUGHLIN. An interview with artist Kelly Laughlin (@kellylaughlin_) of Odette Press (@odettepress) + all about her portable art studio. ••• A few weeks ago, artist Kelly Laughlin of Odette Press in Maryland began a road trip across the Southwest, and her posts reminded me of my love for this place and of the creativity and connection to be found amidst a landscape that can often be perceived as barren. To me, this place is anything but, and the whimsical marbled paper and dusty-colored minimalist paintings Kelly has created along the way are evidence of that. ••• A nomad at heart, I was also intrigued by her ambition to organize a portable studio and create on the road. This being something I hope to encourage through Goodall Creative, I reached out to Kelly to see if she might share her creative adventure with us. ••• Read full post on the blog. { Link in Profile } #travelingartist #femaleartist #ontheroad #papermarbling #creativeinspiration #creativeprocess #artistinterview
  • Something I enjoy most about collage is the creative process of giving things a new life. Like these gold foil wrappers from @chocolove’s vegan peppermint chocolate bar. ••• We shall see how these sheets of glam find their way into my work. ••• #zerowastelifestyle #upcycledart #creativelife #creativeprocess #femaleartist #collageart #cutandpaste #collagecollective #anewlife
  • Are you in NYC? On August 16th, the Brooklyn Art Library (@thesketchbookproject) is hosting a Women in Illustration panel. ••• You can learn more + get tickets 🎟 in their profile. ••• #femaleartist #femaleillustrator #femalecreatives #womeninthearts #creativewomen #brooklynartlibrary #artevent #newyorkcity #nycartscene
  • “Double Cenote” by David Geiser (@dgeiser777) at @cupandbar, courtesy of @buttersgallery. ••• I see rings from a radiating sun above a snowy mountainside.

  • ✨ANNOUNCEMENT ✨ Yesterday, I finally launched my refined vision for Goodall Creative—to explore contemporary art for the good of all and to empower others on their conscious and creative path (you included!). ••• To support this endeavor, I also launched an array of freelance offerings to support everyday creatives, professional artists, and arts organizations. ••• Learn more via the link in my profile! #femaleartist #consciousartist #artistsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writerforhire #freelancewriter #artswriter #contemporaryart #creativelife
  • Blossoming magnolia tree in my neighborhood. ••• #magnoliatree #flowerpower #onmywalk #wayfarer #whitespacesummer
  • Stopped by @wolffgallerypdx this afternoon to check out @alysonprovax’s exhibit. I discovered her work through Instagram and was immediately captivated by her word art—the way it mesmerizes and inspires reflection through pithy truths. Standing before her work in person was as meditative as I’d imagined. ••• #artandabout #artandaboutpdx #femaleartist #letterpresslove #wordart
