2024- Year In A Review
Happy New Year! I truly appreciate all your support throughout 2024. This year has been incredible, filled with career milestones and exciting new projects.
I kicked off 2024 with a pinch me moment—a commissioned pair of magnolias was featured in Architectural Digest, alongside a custom-painted lamp. It was such a joy to collaborate with these wonderful clients and to have this fantastic opportunity.

As someone who used to summer on 68th street, the park has always been a special place for me to unwind and find inspiration. I hope my pieces will serve as a reminder of the park’s natural beauty for everyone who visits.
In October, I traveled to NYC to experience the artwork firsthand and enjoy a lovely lunch with friends in celebration. We arrived early in the morning to soak in the atmosphere while the staff prepared for the day, creating a peaceful moment to appreciate the newly updated iconic boathouse.
In the spring I started on my nest collection,'Colors of Sunday', inspired by my daughter and the color she's brought into the world.
This was also the first series I did post maternity leave, Painting nest after having my second baby only felt natural. Blending motherhood and my art practice. I can’t have one without the other.
Spent some time down in Florida at our new cottage, 'The Daffodil', she can be rented, and makes for a perfect spot on the cost.
Was able to be a part of some new projects that my wonderful and creative friends started in 2024. Hart of Hart Jewelry included me in her 'Babe In Hart' blog, talked about all the good stuff.
and then a fun shoot with Rebecca Atwood where my home will be featured in her book coming this year!
Made a bunch of new giclee and screen prints this year too, it's such a fun process to take originals and share the pieces in a different light, check out all the new prints here.
In June I opened the studio to friends and clients, It was fun to get the studio cleaned up and looking her best! I will definitely do this again 2025, so please let us know if you would like to be added to the list!
Later that month I released my 'A Wildflower Lily' Series.
Then released by 'Mid-Summer Flower' Series, I had not painted brown-eyed susans in awhile so to bring that series back and have a positive reaction to them meant a lot!
Spent a wonderful month in Maine again, has quickly become a very special spot for my family!
Then back to Charleston to release my Fruit Series that has become a recurring series for me that I paint while in Maine, the fruit is fresh and perfect summer series. There are a few pieces remaining, shop them here!
Another fun feature that I was honored to be apart of was the Southern Living House out on Kiawah River, interiors were done by Allison Elebash, some fruit still life works on paper, and love bird prints were placed in the house. Such a fun project to be apart of!
I launched a Substack that’s still a work in progress, but I’ve really loved connecting with others through it and diving into the fantastic posts from people I admire!
Then finished out the year with my Tulip Series, ' Tulips In Sumac', was inspired by the color sumac, along with a house in Maine I stumbled upon a dark purple house that sparked something inside me. Over time, I started weaving that inspiration into my art and my clothing.
