January 2024 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
I hope you had a wonderful Holiday Week, full of reflection, cookies, Netflix and slow moments to relax. My husband and I took the week fully off from work to rest and recuperate from a busy and challenging 2023.
I wanted to create an illustration that had a bit of magic in it - that’s what we’re hoping for in the New Year. Please enjoy 2024’s first Desktop Wallpaper.

January 2023 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
Happy January, and Happy New Year! I hope this year gives you the space to find - or continue to work on - what makes you happy and brings you joy! The last few years have been difficult for so many people, let's commit to treating one another with a little more kindness and gentleness in the coming months. The world is what we make of it ;) Let's make it a better place for everyone.
For this month's illustration, I wanted to create something a little different than my regular florals; something that had a sparkle of optimism. I hope you enjoy it! :)

January 2022 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper
May you have a wonderful start to your New Year! This month's illustration may not seem the most seasonally-appropriate, but as I sat down to design this month's wallpaper, I felt the need to draw something optimistic and lush as a way of putting those intentions out for all of us in 2022. Rather than asking the Year to be good to us, let's ask ourselves on the daily how to care for ourselves and each other. We all have the ability to make our dreams/goals/visions come true - it's not the Year that does it, it's us ;)

January 2021 Illustrated Desktop Wallpaper + Happy New Year!
Happy 2021, everyone! We made it!
A very big pat on the back to you for making it to the other side of 2020! While we're not walking through a portal today into a world free of problems, it does feel good to step into a New Year with a fresh attitude and hopeful mindset. We may still need to work to clear some hurtles, but with continued work and focus, I am hoping that this year we'll see a little more peace, magic, prosperity and love.
If you're a member of the community who has suffered a loss in 2020 - we see you. A New Year and all of its promise is exciting to celebrate, but it doesn't take away real hurts from the past year. Whether it's a loved one, your job or financial security, or your mental health, last year took a real and tangible toll and I just wanted to take a moment here to acknowledge that as well, and let you know we're thinking about you, and sending you thoughts for peace, renewal and joy in 2021.
