Why I take breaks from Social Media (And What I've Been Creating Behind the Scenes

In a world that’s constantly buzzing, posting, and scrolling… sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is unplug.

Lately, I’ve been quiet online—intentionally. I needed space to breathe, to slow down, and to remember what it feels like to create without pressure or performance. Life offline has been full of tiny moments that fuel my art: forest walks, ocean air, the stillness that lets inspiration return on its own time.
While I haven’t been sharing much on social media, I have been creating—quietly and intentionally...behind the scenes. In my little basement, I’ve been working on a new collection of abstract landscapes and seascape paintings rooted in texture, emotion, and the landscapes that inspire me most. This body of work feels raw, honest, and deeply connected to where I’m at in this season of life.
And now, I’m finally ready to share it...with those who’ve chosen to stay connected more personally.
If you’d like to be the first to see my new work (and get an exclusive 25% off your first painting), you can join my newsletter here: 👉 Subscribe to my email list
I’ll be sending sneak peeks, early access to new paintings, and personal stories that I don’t share anywhere else.
Sometimes stepping back is the best way to move forward. I’m grateful for this time away from the screen—and excited to reconnect with you in a more meaningful way.
See you in your inbox 💛—Ginger
