ARTIST JOURNAL | Notes from the studio
Inspiration, new work, and stories about life and travel.
Partner Spotlight: Seattle Art Source
One of the most important parts of being an artist is choosing the right people to partner with when it comes to representing your work. Early on, I was introduced to art consultant Sarah Hurt, the owner of Seattle Art Source located in the...
The Sea: Outer Banks, North Carolina | 2021
I’m excited to start sharing here regularly again! Rather than just show you all of my artwork, I also want you to get a better idea of what goes into it. Basically, I want to clue you in on what I’m experiencing in the world or in my head. In this...
Pinspiration: Opulence
A peek at my current favorite Pinterest board: 2022 Opulence. I’m not sure if it came from bingewatching Halston on Netflix right before the new year or not, but that’s when I first noticed it. That feeling of fun, inspiration, opulence tied to 60s...
