My favourite summer 2020 accessory?! My MASK 🤩😷👯‍♀️!! Nothing says I care about my life, my loved ones, and my fellow humans more than wearing this lil friend everyday out here in New York. And though I rarely post outfit photos on my feed, I felt it was especially important to show my support in wearing one. I hate to reiterate the point that this isn’t over but...it isn’t!! Let’s all do our part. And while I have your attention, which summer “lewk” is your favorite? 1, 2, 3, or 4?! #wearamask #weareinthistogether

My loves, did you know that today was #Internation

My loves, did you know that today was #InternationalFriendshipDay?!! Well let me start by saying just how grateful I am for all the friendships made and cherished here on #TravelWriteDraw!! You continue to inspire and enlighten me every single day and push me to be a better version of myself!! I also wanted to share with you one of my most cherished and precious friendships with this beautiful ray of sunshine @lauraktroy who has empowered me, advocated for me, and cheered me on more times than I can possibly count!! From picnics in Hyde Park with St. Regis, to speaking on the Luxury GM Summit in Shanghai, to painting live at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this past December - none of these moments would have been possible without her belief and faith in me 😭👯‍♀️❤️!! Though work may have brought us together, it is our spirit that keeps us united. Every time we are together I feel the room light up ✨ and it isn’t long before we are squealing with joy (to everyone else’s detriment 😂) and one of us is dropping Taylor Swift’s Reputation album on our iPhones for an impromptu dance party!! Rumi has a saying “Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames” and I can’t think of more truer words to describe our friendship. Who fans your flames today and everyday? Happy International Friendship Day, everyone!! Pic by our BFF 4ever @jonlip.jpg xx MM

These two cutie patootie angels on earth celebrate

These two cutie patootie angels on earth celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary today 🥳👏🏼💕 and though it hurts my heart not to be there in person to celebrate with them, I’m bursting over here in New York with gratitude to be their daughter!! I wish I could have been a fly on the wall the day they got married!! I don’t know what I did to deserve them as my parents but god do I feel lucky 😭. I’ve never known two more hardworking, endlessly loving, devoted, compassionate, loyal and forever supportive people ever ever ever!! They have raised the bar so darn high. In the storm of uncertainty this year, the things that matter most rise to the surface. Getting to spend 4 months of quality time with them in Canada grounded me in a way I didn’t even know was possible. All I can say is: THANK YOU!!! Thank you for being you, for loving each other and raising my sister and I to love ourselves!! Thank you for encouraging me to live out my wildest dreams and for never doubting me!! You deserve the world and I hope one day I’ll be able to return it all back to you!! Love you forever and ever ❤️ (P.S these pics were taken by @JonLip.jpg for the launch of my @RitzCarlton x @StevenKentMirassou Wine Labels 🍷. It meant the world having my Mom & Dad there to celebrate with me and still does) xx MM

#TeamTWD and I have been sorting through my illustration archives to prepare for a new project and stumbled on this series I created for @Dior x @Bergdorfs a couple Summers ago 💕. It made me smile thinking back on this time in New York, carefree, and seeing just how much my style has evolved over the years. I can’t help but swell up with gratitude for this city, every opportunity it has afforded me, and excited to be working on new ones too!! Hope you are having a fantastic week so far, my loves!! Can’t wait to join you all virtually so soon xx MM

For the past week or so I’ve been asking you to

For the past week or so I’ve been asking you to submit in my stories your choice for the first destination to kick-off the subscription version of the TWD Live Painting Class ✈️🎨. Boy oh boy did you deliver with suggestions!! So much so that I’m still working through a multitude of them to settle on the lesson plan. But for those who didn’t catch it in my stories, I’d love to hear from you as well!! Where would you like to (virtually) land for the first stop of the TWD Live Painting Class?!

Words simply can’t express just HOW grateful I a

Words simply can’t express just HOW grateful I am to you all for your print and original purchases from the ‘Getaway Collection’ these past two weeks 😭!! I choke up every time I think about it, truly. The world feels increasingly surreal and uncharted with every passing day of this year. Your continued love and support means more to me than you will ever know and will never, EVER be forgotten. I hope I lift you up the way you lift me up. Though I may be physically grounded at the moment, I continue to fly virtually 🦋 bc of you. I’m eternally honoured and so very humbled. I love you all immeasurably. Thank you ❤️. For those of you who enquired, the Joan x Giambattista Valli print from my last post has now been added to the SHOP (link in bio) 🥰💕!! All my love xx MM

My loves, you asked and we listened!! A limited edition run of PRINTS from the new ‘Getaway Collection’ are now available to purchase at the link in my bio 🥳👏🏼💕!! Thank you again SO much from the bottom of my heart for all your kind words, feedback, and encouragement to offer the prints. I hope you will cherish these in your home for a lifetime. Love you all and happy Saturday xx MM

End of the week cool down with a bit of abstract landscape painting (swipe 👈🏼) of the sunset over my family’s home in Canada. Though I’m officially back to city life, I’m carrying the calm of the countryside with me here in NYC 🥰🌳. Wishing you a safe and gorgeous weekend ahead xx MM

Once upon a summertime in London Town 💕 back wh

Once upon a summertime in London Town 💕 back when my biggest concerns were negotiating contracts and dating cheeky Englishmen 😂🇬🇧. A lot of you have asked me recently if I miss traveling. I think we can all pretty well guess the answer to that BUT (and this is a rather large but) I feel I’ve accomplished more for the longterm sustainability of my business these past 4 months on the ground than I have the past 5.5 years in the air ✈️. #TeamTWD has expanded bc I finally took the time to get real about what my supporting roles could and should look like. Shoutout to my amazing remote team working so hard bts 🥰!! I see my art gaining clarity with the steady flow of time in one place. I’m also working to diversify revenue streams to better insulate myself should we encounter yet another pandemic/apocalypse that directly impacts the very industries I work within (👋🏼 heyyy fashion & travel). And above all, I’ve spent this time being with my loved ones, grounding myself with their support and finding a little something called balance ⚖️. I say this all with the absolute greatest sense of awareness and sensitivity to the current climate. I know not everyone can afford to self-reflect or pivot their business at a time like today. It is surely a privilege to do so. I’ve just genuinely tried to make the most of this insanity and do believe that if you look for the positives you will always find them, somewhere, someway!! So all that said, yes, I sure do miss traveling, but I know the next time I take off to a land far away, I’ll be even more ready and grateful than ever before. All my love xx MM 📸 by @john.irisandlight
