Welcome to the Storytelling Corner of Stella & Dorrie

This blog is where I share what’s on the table—literally and figuratively. It’s where the paint smudges meet the thoughts I’m still working through. You’ll find reflections on art, life, and what it means to keep creating in the middle of everything else.   

What You’ll Find  

• Honest behind-the-scenes thoughts from a working artist
• Studio notes, process glimpses, and in-progress pieces
• Reflections on chronic illness, growth, and making space for joy
• Occasional musings on color, tools, teachers, and tiny moments of inspiration.

Why “What’s on the Table?”

Because that’s where this all began: at the dining room table, between kid snacks and paint palettes.

It’s still where most things start—ideas, experiments, drafts, even this blog.
You’re welcome to pull up a chair.

Thanks for reading,
Miranda
