Happy National Vintage Day! 🎙️✨ (Who knew that was a thing?)
If you’ve ever wondered why my art looks the way it does, just look at my middle school wardrobe. I was the kid in the 90s wearing my parents’ 70s "hippie" gear and blasting classic rock. My "love language" is Mid-Century Modern and I’ll fight anyone who says avocado green isn’t a neutral. 🥑

The "Brooke" Starter Pack:
✨ The Vibe - 60s/70s rock on loop through my childhood.
✨ The Obsession: Massive piles of costume jewelry (thanks, Gramma!) and sequins.
✨ The Evidence - Ask about the Pasadena flea market where I was told, "We can't look at every piece of jewelry." (I bought a roadrunner brooch. Zero regrets.)
✨ How it shows up in my work - I’m a mix of dopamine-bright colors and vintage ochres, spilled behind weird birds and fun florals. If it feels like a 1960s bathrobe had a love affair with an aviary, I probably made it.

Thanks for being here and fueling my vintage-loving soul! 🌈

It’s not super spectacular, but I am working on adding some intentional whimsy to one of the paintings I have in-progress and I am loving the style and colors.

In all honesty, I am struggling with everything that’s going on and it’s been a challenge to find some dopamine. Creating still gets me the boost I need, but it’s still hard most days to sit down and focus beyond all of the worldly chaos, parenting obligations, daily tasks and all the things. I know these feelings aren’t forever, but damn they feel heavy right now.

That’s all from me! Enjoy some whimsical leaves in a lovely mint color and have a great day.🍃✨

This little guy is coming along nicely and I can’t wait to show you the other two birds on this piece.

I don’t have a title yet, but it’s turning out to be a beautiful way to start 2026.

Details are getting sketched! I am holding onto that tiny pencil for dear life and assisting my forehead lines with their journey to live rent free on my face.

Not a whole lot in my little piece of the world as of right now, but I am creating and developing work ideas for 2026! More to come, friends.🍾🎨🦄🦚

My full time job is in full swing and making time for art is important for my mental health so you will see more in the near future.♥️ Thanks for hanging in there.
