I’m excited to share some wonderful upcoming opportunities to see my work in person and celebrate together! Artists Reception at the Harris Arts Center Sunday, June 28th • 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM Harris Arts Center, Calhoun, GA You’re warmly invited to the Artists Reception for the current Regional Art Show! This is a lovely opportunity to meet the artists, enjoy light refreshments, and view the exhibition in a relaxed atmosphere. Three of my paintings are currently on display: Fra

Hi friends, If you’ve been following my weekly livestreams, you know how much this midlife art journey means to me — flipping the script on ‘it’s too late’ and pouring heart into every brushstroke. To celebrate the beautiful collector community that’s growing with me (and to help stock up before my upcoming tent events!), I’m excited to announce the MidLife Glow-Up Sale: 20% off everything in the shop for the next 10 days! Whether you’re drawn to the dramatic messages in my B

With only a few hours left until the start of my first ever art-centric, multi-day festival, I find myself up at an ungodly hour with an inability to sleep! Trust me, I've tried to get back to sleep but it's not working. My mind is already going. So as you read these words, understand that I think I'm up earlier than most farmers! Yikes! We arrived yesterday in Dahlonega for vendor check in and also to set up my tent structure and have it enclosed for the overnight hours. Thi

What an incredible couple of weeks it has been! Last weekend I had the joy of participating in Cohutta Celebrates the 250th — my first event of the 2026 season. I painted “Americana” on short notice specifically for the Blue Ribbon contest, and I’m still smiling because it received a Blue Ribbon! Cohutta Celebrates America's The painting captures that classic heartland feel — a big red barn, waving American flag, families picnicking, and the simple joys of everyday American l

Happy Tuesday, everyone! I’m so excited to share that two brand-new originals are now live in the shop — and their hand-signed prints are ready too! These pieces have been a joy to finish, and I wanted to give you the full story behind each one. Ghost of the Interior – Amazon Warrior This 30" × 30" oil painting brings to life one of the powerful AmaZons from Ron Stephenson’s TTRPG Makundo IV . She is fierce, honorable, and beautifully feminine — the kind of woman who is reser

After months of preparation, reflection, and setting up my studio for success, I am excited to announce that I am opening a very limited number of art commissions for 2026. This opportunity allows you to collaborate with me to create original oil, watercolor, or mixed-media artworks that capture your story, honor someone special, or bring your unique vision to life in a way only hand-painted art can. Why Choose a Custom Commission? Custom art offers something no print or digi

Happy weekend, everyone! This has been one of those magical painting stretches where everything just flows. In the last two weeks, I managed to push forward on four different artworks at once — and I’m honestly buzzing with how much got done. I thought I’d share a quick roundup so you can see where each piece stands. Nancy Wake – “The White Mouse” She’s officially complete (minus final signature and varnish)! I finished the fourth canvas edge yesterday and it’s now complete.

As the clock struck midnight, I was looking back at 2025 as bridge from fledgling creative to emerging artist. Not two years ago I was painting in my recliner, too nervous to call myself an artist. Tonight, I’m ending 2025 with a studio full of canvases, a shop full of prints, and a community that shows up every Wednesday night to paint and chat with me live! Here’s what happened in between: Launched a collaboration with my husband to provide limited edition watercolor painti

I was seven when I first stepped into a leotard. It started innocently enough: a baton-twirling class in my elementary school gym offered by The Academy of Artistic Performance. One twirl of that silver stick to “He’s So Shy” by the Pointer Sisters and I was hooked. Next came tap shoes that clicked like rain on a tin roof, then jazz, ballet, and finally pointe — because if you’re going to dream, dream on your toes! I still laugh remembering my very first recital costume: a sa

Three years ago I was 50, sitting in a recliner with a $24 Cotman watercolor travel set, no art studio, outdated training and zero confidence. Now I am live-streaming about my heroes series weekly. This is the story of the years in between. THE RECLINER DAYS It was a Friday in August 2022 and I was invited to participate in an online group exercise called "10 minute art". I rushed out earlier that day to get a small watercolor set because I didn't have viable art supplies
