Jumping into the craft fair game as an art vendor is a crazy and exciting experience. I made the decision to start selling my artwork and painted products at craft markets because I wanted the opportunity to interact with my customers face-to-face and make new connections. It can feel more personal when you can have those in-person interactions instead of their impersonal experience of shopping online (which I still love, but for other reasons). I know some of you are also starting your craft fair journey, so today I wanted to share with you 5 things I have learned from vending in my first fe ..read more

Trinidad, California Reference Photo Painting of Trinidad, California There are so many aspects to my work that I really enjoy, but THIS has got to be one of the biggest ones.

My passion for travel is a cornerstone of my business and the art that I create. The world around us is too beautiful to ignore. This art practice is not intrinsic on solely my own travels, but is greatly influenced by your experiences ..read more

I feel like every year Mother’s Day ends up sneaking up on me, but if I am going to be honest, I am not great at remembering holidays that happen on different dates each year.

Not only is this a friendly reminder to purchase your Mother’s Day gifts before it’s too late, but I am also presen ..read more

How I Came to Paint “Cotton Candy Sunset Over Sturgeon Bay” from a Cherished Travel Photo What memories do you take away from your favorite vacations or travel adventures? Did you ride on a sailboat for the very first time? Did you eat a new cuisine that you will never ever forget the taste of? Did you see the most beautiful mountain view you think you might ever see? Many of the memories we capture from where we travel aren’t exactly tangible. I like to turn those memories around and create a tangible and unique souvenir that will be cherished just as much as those memories. I take your photo ..read more

One thing that has been a big part of my life, since childhood, is travel. My mother, grandparents, and I would go on at least one family road trip every summer to a new destination within the United States.

We could basically drive anywhere in the country, but we had to drive through a lot of states to get there. My family is the type that likes to stop and sight-see along the way which always makes for a fun and interesting adventure. I still try to travel this way today, trying to discover the hi ..read more
