Each print is based off of some of your favorite original paintings from the collection. While I was painting these
Read MoreFor me there is something so soothing and refreshing about the water, the ocean in particular. I was so lucky to grow up near the water, but my experience was typically on the shore or out on a boat exploring the San Juan Islands that are near my home. I remember being so young and being captivated by the different shades of blue

Read MoreI recently became introduced to “birth month flowers,” I had no idea this was a thing and when I found out I was shocked because they are such a beautiful and personalized way to celebrate the month you were born.

Read MoreThere is something so special about being able to give a thoughtful gift for Mother’s Day or really any other day you want to say “I love you.” I’ve rounded up some unique gift ideas from Cards to Birth Month Prints or even an Original Painting!

Read MoreI’ve been slow to share the new paintings I have been working on, they have felt so personal and the process wasn’t something I was quite ready to share until now. It’s been a slow, thoughtful process of painting, reflecting, feeling all the things and during each studio time a simple thought kept coming to mind.

Read MoreFields have always held a bit of magic for me, the way the grass dances in the wind, the little creatures that call it home & how it automatically shifts with the seasons. I’ve been thinking about all of these things while working on this small collection of paintings. These Field paintings have been such a sweet process as I've slowed down,

Read MoreThese paintings were inspired by a quick trip down to sit by the bay. The ocean has always been a place of peace for me, so as I sat journaling my thoughts my pen lead me to sketch out the shore, the boats, the freedom that that place brings. I quietly worked on these paintings just for myself as a place to reset...
Read MoreWhen I lived away from the ocean, I would dream of it, cry when I say it on a tv show and would immediately be home sick. Now 5 years later and 10 minutes away from the ocean I sometimes forget to see it for months. It’s been so easy to get caught up in the day to day, running a business from home and then you add a global pandemic on top of it and I needed a “reset.”

Read MoreI sit here typing these words over a month after the launch of my most recent original artwork launch. Between Covid-19 and quarantine and a million thoughts in between these past few months have been an emotional rollercoaster and in all honestly, just a bit of a blur, but the thing helping me keep track of time is the artwork that keep being made in the studio
Read MoreThis month's freebie is from one of my Tiny Landscape paintings that I've been sharing over on Instagram every Friday! I’ve loved exploring working on these small landscapes, they have been so much fun to just let loose and explore new compositions and honestly just letting myself let go and dream of the places I wish I was as right now. Because I don’t know about you but all this “stay at home” stuff has been challenging even for the homebody like me.
Read MoreYou’re probably like me, weeks into this global COVID19 pandemic and you’re stuck at home, maybe with kiddos and the ideas of how to keep us entertained has diminished. Really though, how are you filing your days? Well early on I knew I needed a few things to keep me sane during our Washington “stay at home” mandate and I’m sharing a few of these things with you… like the printable coloring pages I made!
Read MoreIf you follow me on instagram then you know how I’ve been switching things up and painting a lot of tiny landscapes. I love painting these little original landscapes for a number or reasons, but the biggest one is the fact that tiny art can truly make a big impact in your home. Plus it’s a fun way for me to get some ideas out of my head a little faster then when I paint large and because they are an affordable way to collect artwork for you home no matter your budget.
Read MoreYou know you have a bit of an obsession when your “gallery wall” Pinterest board has over 300 + photos pinned! I figured it was time to share some of the photos that are currently inspiring me. From simple gallery wall with only 3-5 photos/ artwork to massive gallery walls that literally take up the entire wall. I think honestly one day I will have one like this,
Read MoreI am so excited to say that I added 4 new floral prints to the shop! When I first added fine art prints last year I was beyond excited to announce it because it had seriously been a dream of mine for so long. I had been dreaming of curating a collection of fine art prints with your home in mind because of some of the many requests I had been getting over the past few years.
Read MoreDid you know that I started blogging way back in 2012, I was only a few years into marriage. We had moved to Montana and I was going to school to be an interior designer.
