Welcome To my studio
creating beautiful things that bring us back to the garden
an ode to the upstate
Though a northern Ohio girl for most of my life, much of my current work is inspired by my home in the upstate of SC. Nestled right at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the small town charm, southern hospitality, immense hiking trails, lakes, and waterfalls all play a very key role in the subjects and inspiration behind my paintings.
hand-painted Necklaces
Show your love of the mountains with this beautiful landscape painting that you can wear!
Each piece is hand-painted on wood and sealed with three layers of brush-on gloss varnish to prevent scratches and chipping and then permanently sealed into the bezel pendant to create an authentic float-frame style piece of art.
hand-painted journals
The ultimate collaboration! I paint the cover and the inside is left blank for you to write all your dreams and feelings.
design + illustration
As much as I love painting, I find a lot of joy in digital illustration and design. I am always open to hearing your ideas. If you think I would be a good fit for your next project - please reach out!
