When I started to pursue art as a part time career in 2017, I had not picked up a paintbrush in two years. Life happens and I had to turn my attention towards my family, taking a step back from art. So when I had the crazy idea to drop out of school and create again, I had no idea what that meant for me. I wanted a name that I could work under and still have the freedom to do whatever I want (I used to work in sculpture, refurbishing furniture, printmaking, as well as painting). Flea Market Funky provided that vagueness for me, and I love what I have done with it. Up until FMF, I had never worked with watercolor as a serious medium!

Flash forward to present day, I have a better grasp on my style, my medium, and what I love to create as an artist. This whole process of finding the beautiful corners of Austin and painting them has brought me so much joy! I have an increasing appreciation and excitement for this place that I already call home and the growth that is happening here. 

So I am THRILLED to announce that I will be narrowing my focus and in turn changing my art brand from Flea Market Funky to Coloring Austin! Coloring Austin better depicts my work and me as an artist. With this name, I will continue to paint Austin in watercolor, and I am excited to continue to explore this city that I call home!
