Why did you retire Pretty In Pigment? Do you have a new blog?
All good things must come to an end. After over 10 years of blogging and creating content, it was time for me to return to my roots– making art. I’ve been painting since I could hold a brush and my love for photography, painting, and design have all finally come together via printmaking. Follow my art path of the “Pigmented Press” on Instagram.
Tell me more about yourself.
I’m Ms. Chatty Pants and could talk all day. Instead, here are 26 things you probably didn’t know about me. If you already knew more than 10 of these things before reading this post, then we may be BFFs already!
I love the name of your blog. How did you come up with it?
I have a nostalgic relationship with colorful makeup. My first experiences with makeup (when I was 13) consisted of blue eyeshadow, green roller-ball glitter, and ruby red lipstick. I’ve always felt pretty in makeup, not because of how it makes me look, but how it allows me to express myself creatively.
Through the years I’ve realized that color lives in all facets of my life and goes beyond my makeup bag. From rich prints in fabrics to the beautiful colors of the mystic Northern Lights, I believe in living a life inspired by the colors of the world.
How do you keep your Instagram feed so colorful?
My Instagram feed is my pride and joy. It is VERY curated because I want to it be a place that inspires and brings joy when you arrive on my feed. I plan out my posts in the A Color Story app and sometimes use it to edit my photos. I also use Lightroom to edit my photos cohesively.
Where do you live?
I currently live in Seattle, Washington. I’m originally from South Florida and also spent some time living in New York City.
