My art woke up in Paris today in a beautiful apartment being decorated by Huff Harrington Home. I can’t wait to see when they finish their magic.

Work hard and trust yourself. Some days when I leave my studio I get an overwhelming feeling that I didn’t accomplished much. I have to remind myself it is a process. Layer after layer, mixing and mixing mediums is just part of the learning process of being an artist. Even after sixteen years I am still learning with each stroke. Recently, after leaving the studio feeling like I had not accomplished a thing, I went back in the next day and fell in love with a cute 16x16 series I created, I thought to myself, they are just darling. Meet 16x16 “Darling I & II”. A client just texted me to tell me how obsessed she is with her new art and attached this picture. I’ll have to remember her texts next time I think I am going in the wrong direction so I can enjoy and trust the journey.

Thank you Pablo Picasso. TRUTH! Everything in life

Thank you Pablo Picasso. TRUTH! Everything in life takes work, go out there and work for what you believe in and for everything you want out of this life. Being an established artist doesn’t mean I can slack off. I treat my art like I do life, just because it starts to feel comfortable I don’t just settle in, I find more desire and inspiration to take it all to a new level. I can’t wait to share all that I have learned this year and all of the inspiration that is bubbling up inside of me. From paintings to new adventures, thank you for letting me share my passion with you.

Fifteen years ago when I retired from my full time

Fifteen years ago when I retired from my full time retail interior design job to become an artist I had no idea what was in store for me. I took the jump with no net but amazing opportunities are still coming my way. The harder you work, the luckier you get is so true! One of the most amazing opportunities was when Ann Huff called me after seeing my work at The Spotlight on Art here in Atlanta. After meeting with Ann and Meg from Huff Harrington Fine Art I became one of their gallery artists. Working with these ladies and their amazing staff has been such a highlight of my career. I am so excited for them that they have grown into a beautiful new space that houses their retail store, gallery and interior design company under one roof at the Galleries of Peachtree Hills. Their grand opening last night was amazing. Make sure you stop by and see all the gorgeous decor and art!!

You can shake the sand from your feet but it never

You can shake the sand from your feet but it never leaves your soul. Nantucket is always a great idea. If you have been following along on my Instagram stories you probably noticed my pictures from my recent trip to Nantucket. This was my third year with a couple of my favorite girls to this magical little island. Nantucket is my getaway full of inspiration. For such a tiny little island, it leaves quite the impression. From the texture of the cobblestones on Main Street, the colorful blooms that drip from every window box, it throws an artists mind into high gear. Then there is the fog that rolls in(why they call the island “Grey Lady”) and the weathered grey houses, both bring a mysterious feel to the island. I can’t wait to jump into my studio to start layering my memories onto my canvases. Stay tuned.
