From Fan to Collaborator: How My Love for MEEDEN Art Supplies Turned Into Something Special

Some stories start with a grand plan. This one started with an easel.

If you've followed my work for any length of time. Whether you collect my pieces or you're here for the behind-the-scenes of how I navigate this art life, this one's for you. Today I'm sharing something I've been genuinely excited about: my new collaboration with MEEDEN Art Supplies.

For My Collectors

You know the work. You've seen the textures, the bold strokes, the compositions that feel like they're both structured and alive. What you might not know is how much of that comes down to the tools I trust.

MEEDEN has been part of my studio for years. Not as a sponsor, not as a brand deal, just as a brand I genuinely reached for. So when this collaboration came together, I wanted you to know it came from a real place. This isn't me putting my name on something I don't believe in. This is me finally making it official with a brand that's already been in the room.

For My Fellow Artists

Here's how it actually happened, because I know you appreciate the real story.

I've been using MEEDEN supplies for years, but there's one piece of equipment that really changed how I work: their Multi-Function Art Studio Easel. It's the one that lays completely flat, letting you paint as if your canvas is on a table. I love to paint upright. When I'm in production mode, painting flat is the most comfortable and efficient way to paint. It also helps me shift my perspective and literally opened up new ways for me to approach my work.

I bought a new one, and I was so impressed that I decided to create a post about it. Before I posted, I did something a lot of artists overlook: I reached out to the brand first. I emailed MEEDEN to let them know I was planning to share about their product. They loved it. That email opened a conversation, and from that conversation came an invitation to join their ambassador program.

Here's what made it even more meaningful: this year, MEEDEN is celebrating 11 years as a company. That's one year longer than I've been painting. To be invited into their world during this milestone year felt like something worth honoring.

The Collaboration

I want to be clear about something: I am not a traditional ambassador. This collaboration is built on authenticity, not obligation. I'm sharing what I actually use, what actually works, and what has genuinely shaped my practice.

A Final Thought

The art world can feel like a closed room sometimes. But a lot of the doors I've walked through opened because I was honest, I was consistent, and I reached out. This collaboration is proof of that.

Whether you're here for the art or here for the journey — thank you for being part of it.
