Christmas Artisan Market

On Saturday, Trinity hosted their very first Christmas Artisan Market! With 20 vendors, a bustling crowd, live holiday music, and delicious crepes, the atmosphere was filled with holiday cheer!

Thanks to everyone who came, the other artists who participated, and the volunteers who made it such a joyous event. They are already planning to do it again next year!

New Stationary !

Fernleaf Friends Stationary

A friend of mine commissioned an illustration of a Fern to give as gifts to her neighbors who live in the Fernleaf Neighborhood here in Atlanta. We recently turned that painting into some cute stationary for her as well!

Volunteering is More Fun as an Artist

Volunteering is more fun when they know you are an artist - You get asked to do all the cool projects!

Silhouettes and more!

1 horse = 10 horses. This is a true statement.

Just like -

one silhouette project inspires ten more silhouettes!

Silhouettes can convey a sense of mystery and elegance, highlighting the distinct markings that make each horse special. This project serves as a poignant tribute, not only preserving memories but also inviting others to appreciate the grace and beauty of these magnificent animals.  

Let me help you create your own pet series featuring your beloved family dogs; past and present or the horses in your barn. It makes a great gift and is way wonderful way to capture and celebrate the unique personalities of your animal friends.

Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Column - Atlanta Neighborhoods

For the past few months I have been creating illustrations for Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles Magazine to compliment their column featuring an Atlanta’s favorite neighborhoods and popular weekend getaway destinations.

We chose to focus on the perspective from the entrance to the property. Illustrating the front doors of various Atlanta neighborhoods offers a unique way to capture the diverse architectural styles and cultural essence of the neighborhood.

Each neighborhood in Atlanta has its distinct personality, from the historic charm of Ansley Park, the austere grandeur of Tuxedo Park or the more modern facades in Chastain. For the weekend getaways, the entrance may even be through the dock or a garden.

By focusing on these unique entrances, we created a captivating visual narrative that resonates with both locals and those discovering Atlanta for the first time.

More feathers

Earlier this year, a client requested a set of feathers to fill eight frames in her entry hall.

Her project sparked several more feather requests and soon the studio was full of feathers..quite literally. After completing the commissions, I decided to create a series of unique feathers. They are now available in my shop.

Each painting is an original watercolor of a single feather; 12 different species of birds are represented in this group.

The paintings are meant to fit within an 11” x 14” matte but are created on a 14” x 17” so this allows for some flexibility in the matting formats; standard 11” x 14”, square 12” x 12”, etc.
