One of my fave things of 2016--being a part of this awesome event:

Equipped with Adobe mobile apps, these 16 illustrators, photographers and designers from around the world created unbelievable works of art.

Read about my experience self-publishing coloring books with Amazon/Createspace in this article from Tech Insider.

Our current happy #windowdisplay at the @cooperyounggallery! I had so much fun putting this together! #elvis #visualmerchandising #retaildesign #rhodamorgenstern #cooperyoung #cooperyounggallery

Finished another #painting!! I wonder which way I should hang it?? #acrylicpainting #art #acryliconcanvas

Another #timelapsedrawing working on my #ipadpro in #AdobeDraw! 😄😄😄 #adobedrawing #ipadart #applepencil

I’m starting to settle into a routine at the @cooperyounggallery and I’m finding time to make art again! Here’s a #timelapse #drawing I did yesterday. I’m working on my #ipadpro in #AdobeDraw. #applepencil #adobedrawing #ipadart #illustration

Finished these two over the weekend! You can find them hanging in the #cooperyounggallery! #painting #acrylicpainting

Why yes, as a matter of fact I am very inspired by my surroundings! #painting #acrylicpainting #wip #cooperyounggallery

Big thanks to @poriiana and @adobe for this awesome feature on the #Adobe blog!! ❤️❤️❤️😁😁😁 link in bio!

Work in progress. I made today a #painting day here in the studio/shop! @cooperyounggallery #cooperyoung #cooperyounggallery

One of my fave spots in the @cooperyounggallery! One of my paintings paired with notebooks, storage boxes and tin canisters from #orlakiely!

I’m organizing my fabrics for the shop and realizing how much I miss designing fabric on a regular basis!! These are fabrics I designed for Free Spirit Fabrics back in 2012, maybe? I can’t remember. Seems like so long ago! I really loved putting patterns together and designing coordinating collections. The @cooperyounggallery is taking up most of my time these days, and I couldn’t be happier, but maybe I’ll design some more fabrics soon! Btw, if you’re local, all of these and many, many more are available in the shop! #fabricdesign #patterndesign #textiledesign #cooperyounggallery

Some of the bright and happy #cooperyoung products I’ve designed for our shop! These have been so popular that I’m working on more styles now! @cooperyounggallery #cooperyounggallery #choose901 #memphis #shopmemphis #ilovememphisblog #ilovememphis

Artwork created for pouches (see second and third photos) for #Adobe to give away at their Creative Jams! I drew the artwork on my #ipadpro with the #applepencil. Apps: #AdobeDraw and #AdobeCapture. Really fun project and I’m so happy with the way the bags turned out! #adobecreativejam #creativejam #ipadart

We are sooooo excited to be hosting @jesstinsleyfineart here in the @cooperyounggallery this weekend!! I love her art so much! She’s the first artist we wanted to have a show in our space. We are crazy about her work! She’s super fun (and funny!!) and a total joy to be around and work with. If you aren’t following her, you should be! She does gorgeous work and is very open about her process and her artistic journey! And if you’re in #memphis please stop by Friday from 6-8 to meet Jess, see her work and watch a live demo! I’m also excited for you to see all of the work we’ve done on this new space!! #cooperyoung #cooperyounggallery #choose901 #ilovememphis

Don’t forget to follow the link in my profile to download all of these fun brushes to your Creative Cloud library! You can use these on your iPad in #AdobeSketch. Also included are some shapes for use in #AdobeDraw. The library is a shared library so you’ll find brushes from a few other artists as well. Tag me if you use them. Enjoy! #ipadpro #ipadart

One of my favorite parts of having a shop is designing all of the signage and collateral. I love these gift cards so much, and I’m happy to be able to offer them to customers— it has been one of our top requests! #cooperyoung #cooperyounggallery #shopmemphis

Adobe is hosting a creative challenge and you absolutely MUST enter! Follow the link in my profile. And while you’re on the blog post, follow the links to the April Showers shared library. I’ve contributed a ton of brushes and shapes that I created in #adobecapture. They are free for you to use! And if you enter the contest you’ll have a chance to win an #ipadpro or a one-year subscription to #creativecloud!! #capturespring

Day 4 of #myshoplife2018 is Bags— I’m jumping ahead a bit to try and get caught up! These are standard white shopping bags with our gift shop logo on top via a sticker. I chose blue polka dotted tissue paper, and I’ve added a random blue sticker dot around the bags! #cooperyoung #cooperyounggallery #shoplife #shoplocal

I’ve been on a social media break for a little while, but last night I saw a post by the awesome @meandmrsj that inspired me to get back in the swing of things. She and many other shop owners are participating in the #myshoplife2018 challenge set up by @pencilmeinshop. And since my recent focus has pretty much solely been on my new studio/shop, I thought I’d give it a whirl. I’ve never participated in a challenge like this, and often my posting varies depending on my moods and my work load, but I’m going to give it a shot and we’ll see how it goes! Day 1 (which was actually April 1st) is “Bricks & Mortar”, so here are a few pictures of my shop! The exterior photo was taken last fall, before we got our signage, but I love this photo so much! The interior is always evolving and is a work in progress, but it is a really lovely place to come to every day! The color and light make me so happy! The shop is located in the “historically hip” neighborhood of Cooper-Young in Memphis, Tennessee and we named it “Cooper-Young Gallery + Gift Shop.” Maybe not the most original name in the world, but we show up really well in searches! My husband @joeltrose and I are still running our freelance businesses out of the shop, and we are running this new shop together, so the Cooper-Young name is sort of an umbrella for all that we are doing right now. We have big plans for the space including a rotating lineup of art from some amazing local artists, workshops, signings, talks and screenings… more details to come, of course! #shoplife #cooperyoung #shopsmall #choose901 #indieretail #cooperyounggallery @cooperyounggallery

Finished this #painting yesterday and immediately hung it in the shop! Having a shop is like having a giant trade show booth— I can decorate, redecorate, arrange, rearrange, work on displays, display windows, merchandising... all of that fun stuff! I’ve been working this week on bringing in work from some of my favorite artists— some of it has arrived and there is more on the way. I’ll share that with you soon! #cooperyounggallery #cooperyoung #acrylicpainting
