I’m starting to understand why I have back problems after watching this video 🤣😭. My loves, I have just 3 more pieces to go before wrapping this big project I’ve been working on all month 🤩🥳💖!! I cannot wait to share more with you shortly!! In the meantime, here’s a lil #tbt of my largest canvas commission to date for @hyatthousechelsea to welcome in the Spring weather 💐🌷. This piece was inspired by the intersection of NYC’s flower & fashion districts in Chelsea, Manhattan. She’s still hanging in the lobby of the hotel. If you happen to pass by, give her a wave 😉. Hope you enjoy xx MM (Song: Fall Together by Pomo & Harrison Brome)

Since the start of Feb I’ve been working on a very special 35 piece commission for one of my dream brands 🥰 (more on that to come!!). As such, I haven’t had time to create new personal work or design a new class for you all just yet. I so appreciate your patience with me as I navigate all these wonderful different verticals of my business simultaneously 🙏🏼. With that said, I wanted to share a dreamy travel #tbt from Singapore as a fun armchair travel moment. Here’s to balmy tropical temps, in inspiring faraway places 🙌🏼🥳. I can’t wait to get up in the air again sometime this year with you all🤞🏼. Question: where is your mind wandering to these days?! xx MM

My loves, it’s PUZZLE TIME 🥳🧩!! I’m over

My loves, it’s PUZZLE TIME 🥳🧩!! I’m over the moon to be releasing a small run of made to order, premium printed TWD Puzzles to you, featuring some of your favorite artworks at the Link in My Bio 🥰!! I asked you back on #NationalPuzzleDay whether you preferred 500 piece or 1,000 piece puzzles. The majority of you picked 1,000 so that’s what they are 🤗!! At 20” x 28” you’ll want to MOUNT & FRAME these beauties once they are completed. I for one can’t WAIT to see what you pick!! Let me know if you have any questions below. All my love xx MM

My loves, SURPRISE!! In honor of Lunar New Year 🧧 I’m thrilled to share the new destination addition to the @TravelWriteDraw x @CASETiFY Co-Lab: HONG KONG!! 3 new Phone and 5 new AirPod case designs are available at the link in my bio 🥰🏮(Edit: admittedly the cookies and lantern colours are more of a North American tradition than they are HK, but they aligned the most with this destination so I launched them together). Thank you so much for all the feedback you gave me along the way while I designed these cases!! They are so special to me and I hope you love them as much as I loved making them for you. But the real question is, WHICH IS YOUR FAVORITE?! Fortune Cookies, Victoria Harbour, or the Lanterns?! Let me know below!! xx MM

Gahh 😍!! I just received these images from my gorgeous friend @IAmSandraOa working on her beautiful clothing line @TheMabelBrempong using her @TravelWriteDraw x @Casetify ‘Colors of Cartagena’ MacBook case!! My heart is bursting with joy 🥰🥳💓!! Sandra and I met in Seoul, Korea just two years ago now and I was instantly drawn to her warmth, radiance, humour and no nonsense straight talking, haha!! When she wrote me about purchasing the case she said the image reminds her of the woman she wants to be when she grows up, and how she saw herself represented. I can’t tell you what that means to me and just how much it has reiterated the importance of reflecting my friends from every corner in my artwork. I’m so proud of this boss babe who has just relocated to the US from Ghana and I can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes her!! Here’s to loving and lifting up your amazing friends xx MM

A New York coffee 🗽☕️💓!! No amount of snow (ahem make that blizzard) can stop my love for this city and sheer happiness to be back in her arms 🥰!! Which version do you prefer, my loves? 1 or 2? Pink or white? xx MM

“This is like a flashback. This is like a dream.

“This is like a flashback. This is like a dream. This is like all the things you can fit inside a memory” 🥰✨!! Never thought I’d quote Calvin Harris lyrics but here we are 🤣. That song kept looping over and over in my head as I painted and floated into the memory of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour. Swipe to the end to see the original inspiration photo for this piece 🇭🇰. I think she sits quite nicely with the new fortune cookie print I created 👏🏼. What do you think, guys? Do you agree? xx MM

Listen to your fortune cookies 😝🥠🔮🙌🏼!! If we manifest from our own self-worth, perhaps the best, most radical thing we can do is love ourselves. Turned this into a new repeat print that I’m going to release soon. I want to see “love yourself ❤️” every time I look down at my phone as a reminder 🥰 xx MM

60’s inspired sunshine girl, riding into the light 🌈✨. Call me foolish but I can’t help but feel overwhelmingly hopeful about the week ahead. We are due for some sunny news, am I right?! Until then, sweet dreams my loves xx MM

My loves, WE MADE IT 🥳🥂🤩✨!!!! I hope wherever you are in the world right now, you are preparing a toast to yourself for showing up everyday to the challenge that was #2020 🤣. In all seriousness, my gorgeous TWD Community, I’m so very proud of us. We did not let this year stop us from MAKING ART and celebrating our gorgeous earth. I love you all SO MUCH and can’t wait to see what the new year has in store for us!! I think we can all agree, it can only go up from here!! All my love, xx MM

Normally this time of year I’d be reflecting on

Normally this time of year I’d be reflecting on the past 12 months of travels. A bit of a miracle really that I managed even one trip before (most of) the world stopped traveling from March 15th on. I will never forget that week in Chile’s Atacama Desert. Feeling as though I was quite literally caught between two worlds; one that felt like I was walking on Mars 🟠, and the other which flooded my phone with worried DMs and panicked msgs 🌎.

I was speaking the other day with a dear friend of mine, who also works in travel, and we both simultaneously agreed that 2020 had served us a great big dose of HUMBLE 🥧. This year forced the question: who are we when the very things we thought defined us are no longer in our grasp? To borrow my own words from a caption back in September “perhaps the greatest, most challenging journey of 2020 (was) inward”. Did you answer the call?

It reminds me a bit of a dinner party I attended in New York two years ago. A dynamic group of strangers were invited to meet at a loft downtown but the catch was you could neither introduce yourself by last name OR discuss what you did for a living. Now if you know anything about NYC, you can likely guess that the struggle was, as they say, real. Many of us are so deeply defined by what we do that we start to forget who we are without it. Myself included!

Susan L. Taylor once wrote that “crises are nature’s way of forcing change”. And the changes this year were wildly and undeniably aggressive. I, like so many of you, lost a lot in 2020. But if I’m honest, all I can think about is the incredible GOOD that remains and all that I have GAINED 🥰. So, though I may not have a glowing roundup of travels from 2020, what I do have is something I can’t quite show in an Instagram carousel: my journey in ✨.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who continue to support me along the way!! All my love, xx MM

After 6 months away, and 14 days in proper quarantine, my Christmas gift this year was finally being able to hug my family IRL 🤗❤️!!!! I’ve never been more aware of what matters most in my life than I am today. “Yesterday’s the past, tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the present” - Bill Keane 🎁🎄.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for making this journey so very special!! I can’t wait to see what the new year has in store for us 🥰!! To many more adventures 🥂.
