Still utterly speechless over the most breathtakin

Still utterly speechless over the most breathtakingly beautiful black tie dinner for 80 guests in the gardens of @LaMamouniaMarrakech this weekend 🤩👏🏼✨. @MelanieBrandman, you have truly outdone yourself!! To know you and Olly, is to love you and Olly. The most generous, humble, vivacious, powerhouse human beings around. I’m the luckiest to have you in my life 🥹😭!! And to my TWD community that joined in on all the fun via stories, thank you for making this trip even more magical 💖!! Time to start cooking up new art from all this inspiration PLUS a few more vids and snaps to come xx MM

Can I hear a lil commotion for THE pool 🌊🏊🏼‍♂️✨?! The most iconic of all hotel pools. So much so that my DMs flooded with recognition of it due to a certain Netflix series that went viral this year 😆. Any guesses which one?!

Admittedly, I spent quite a bit of time here this weekend, regrouping from the festive celebrations LOL. All in a Marrakech minute though, am I right?! No one quite does it like @LaMamouniaMarrakech and @MelanieBrandman 👏🏼.

Illustrations to come, my loves!! But for now, rest xx MM

There is nothing quite like that MAJORELLE BLUE 🥹💙💛🌵!! My heart, my heart, I can’t take it!! What an absolute joy to return to the place that has inspired countless paintings of mine (surely even more to come!!).

This was also my first time getting to visit the YSL Museum and I was blown away by the collection!! Worth every penny for combined admission. The clothes, the illustrations, the textiles, just beyond, my loves.

Head to my stories now for more!! Cannot wait to paint when I get back to my studio this week 🎨👏🏼 xx MM

Loves!! I cannot tell you how utterly surreal it i

Loves!! I cannot tell you how utterly surreal it is to stand in this very same spot 7 years later from my first visit to @LaMamouniaMarrakech back in May 2015 😭!! My life looked so very different back then. I was just at the start of my journey with Travel Write Draw full-time. I had only just quit my corporate design job a few months prior to coming here through a partnership with @MrandMrsSmith.

Hard to believe it was even before I had met my now bestest friend @MelanieBrandman!! I remember asking the team at La Mamounia back then who did their PR and they beamed with pride to say the @BrandmanAgency 🥹. And now, here we are together, celebrating our very special Olly at this most stunning property with years of travel, laughter, and love behind us!! I can’t wait to see what the next 7 years have in store for us.

TBH, I didn’t expect to feel so reflective on this trip. I’m quite taken aback by it. I guess it just goes to show you that we never really know how much GOODNESS is just around the corner for us!! Live life like the universe is rigged in your favour. Stay hopeful. Keep the faith. And always, always, trust your gut. You are exactly where you are meant to be, right here, right now.

All my love xx MM

Helloooo Darlings!! I’ve just touched down in th

Helloooo Darlings!! I’ve just touched down in the fabulous madness of MARRAKECH 📍🇲🇦🥹💕!! To clarify, I’m here for a friend’s birthday and NOT my group trip which departs in November 😆🫶🏼. I know so many of you are confused from my IG stories. I assure you I didn’t take off without my guests LOL...

I’ve only been back 24hrs and let’s just say, I’m thanking my lucky stars I get to return in the Fall!! I had forgotten just howww much I LOVE IT!! The inspiration is making my heart burst 💖💥. Not to mention I got to reunite with my original artwork I created for @ElFennMarrakech from 2015 yesterday hanging in their library!! More on that later.

I cannot wait to share more from this extremely special trip!! Lots and lots of love xx MM

#ad Friends!! I’m SO excited to share my latest illustrated series for @MarriottBonvoy featuring (this past years and nexts) Final Four® destinations!! Starting with the Foshay Building’s observation deck in Minneapolis, Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas, dancing in New Orleans’ French Quarter, and Houston’s McGovern Centennial Gardens. It was a thrill putting these works together, highlighting something unique for each that simultaneously complemented each other. I’d love to know, which piece is your favourite!! 1, 2, 3, or 4?! xx MM

25 place card menus for @LancomeOfficial’s intimate press dinner a couple weeks ago 🥺💖✨. Forever honoured to be supported by such incredible women in this industry and to be able to see my art utilized in such fun ways!!

It may or may not be snowing outside my window here in Canada 😆 but I’ve got imminent Spring travels on my mind 🌸🍒. Can you guess where I’m dreaming of heading to soon 🙃?! xx MM

#ad Girls Weekend in Minneapolis Recap (plus honor

#ad Girls Weekend in Minneapolis Recap (plus honorary boy member @jonlip.jpg 😆). This was my first time visiting the city and I was blown away by its history and character. I especially loved getting to explore 3 different properties under the @MarriottBonvoy umbrella: @MarriottCityCenterMPLS, @WMinneapolis, and @RenaissanceMPLS!!

The cosmopolitan W Minneapolis is built within the storied Foshay Tower, boasting the most incredible 360 degree views of the city from its observation deck, AND the swankiest Prohibition Bar to boot 🍸. While the ever stylish Renaissance is built into a historic train depot in downtown Minneapolis with design elements mirroring the former train tracks and first-class waiting rooms 🚂✨.

Drawing from one of these special moments currently and cannot wait to share the finished results 👏🏼. Have you been to Minneapolis?! If so, what are some of your favorite places to visit?! All my love xx MM

(PS that is faux-fur in the first pic 🙏🏼)

PEEK-A-BOO 😻🎀 and happy Sunday, darlings!! I

PEEK-A-BOO 😻🎀 and happy Sunday, darlings!! I feel like the Spring weather is playing hide ‘n seek with us here in New York, just like this sweet kitten.

It’s a weekend in the studio for me as I push through my latest illustration series and gear up for my design work for another licensing partnership.

I’ve also been thinking A LOT about how much this platform has changed and where or how I’d like to evolve with it. More reels? Or TikToks? Or both?

And how much I miss our classes and dropping new originals and print collections. After so many years in this space, I’m still unsure how to do it all.

Is anyone else out there feeling a bit of the same? Would love to hear your thoughts below. All my love, xx MM

#ad Considering a BIG career change after this pas

#ad Considering a BIG career change after this past weekend in Minneapolis with @MarriottBonvoy for the Women’s Final Four® 😆🏀🙌🏼💯!! I think being around all of these talented ladies started to rub off on me. In all seriousness though, I had the absolute time of my life getting to support and witness this tournament in real time alongside the most fabulous crew!! Thank you once again #MarriottBonvoy, for the opportunity of a lifetime. I cannot wait to translate this inspiration into the final portion of this partnership: an illustrated series!! Stay tuned for more xx MM

In honor of Sakura Season, I present to you my Cherry Blossom Beauty 🌸🍒!! Another piece created by collaging old(ish) illustrations with new(ish) icons to make a reworked master ✨. I’m feeling the simplicity of this artwork and the style of b&w paired with pops of my signature color. What do you think, loves?! Can anyone guess which illustration series of mine this figure originally belongs to?! xx MM
