The Burst Collection by Stephanie Rita Creative

Hi Friends! On May 1st, I launched a fine art collection called the Burst Collection! The pieces are full of color and movement and hope!

When I started painting my collection in early February, I didn’t plan that it’s release date would be in the middle of a pandemic. With all the drastic changes happening in the world, I was ambivalent to stay on schedule and worried it wasn’t the right time to be making and marketing art. But with beautiful encouragement from my friends and art community, I decided to push forward, even if only for the benefit of my mindset. These 20 paintings came from hope, worry, changing seasons, new traditions and pursuing creativity even in the unknown. I hope they will be an open, energizing, hope-filled and encouraging experience for you, your family, and your safe spaces.

Supporting Fellow Creatives Through the Pandemic

Hello friends! 

Day 28 of quarantine… and I know this entire thing is a lot. It’s ok to feel like it’s a lot. Because it it. I wanted to come say hi and remind you that, as the great philosopher Troy Bolton once taught us, we’re all in this together! And we are going to get through it. 

A lot of people are using their mandatory indoor time to learn new skills or make pretty things! Skillshare, Lynda, Youtube and even your favorite artists’ instagram stories are all great resources to learn a new art or craft skill during these ‘stay home’ weeks. What are you making? Is it something you love? I hope you are creating what you need to see and what makes you smile! 

On the flipside, I totally understand not having the energy to learn something new when so many other things need our focus right now. (Or you might not even have all this extra time people speak of!) The most important thing is to take care of yourself. Do all the usuals (drink water, go to bed at a reasonable hour, get some fresh air) and keep in mind, it’s good for your brain to be surrounded by things you are obsessed with. If you have the means, invest in some pretty art for your space to keep you company while you hang out there for a while! 

I am always available to chat via instagram or email! If you have any questions about learning painting, lettering or embroidery, hit me up! I want to support you in your creative endeavors and I’ll do my best to help when I can!
