Fine artist Ishani shares a month of meditation, art, and inspiration in Spain and London, plus new Green Era prints for Austin Studio Tour 2026.

My first summer in SunshineLand is coming to an end. It may not be my favorite season, but between the garden, Clamatos, summer light, books, and all the tiny backyard creatures, I found a few beautiful reasons to appreciate it.

A reflective story about self-discovery, love, and returning to yourself after years of searching for meaning, acceptance, and freedom outside of you.

A small decision changed the way I meet my days: I stopped hitting Snooze. This is a reflection on choosing the present moment instead of postponing life for an uncertain future.

In the middle of so much change, I’m learning that nothing feels more alive than this moment: coffee in the sunroom, flowers for the butterflies, hummingbirds at the window, and a garden full of unexpected little friends.
