'Tulips In Sumac' // Paintings and Works On Paper

December 10, 2024

The 'Tulips In Sumac' Series 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.

The color shifts between dark shades, leaning towards brown or purple, and I find it utterly captivating, the color pallet took time to create, just like a tulip in full bloom.

Tulip No. 6 is available, the purples and blues of this piece stayed true to the color pallet.

I adore this image; it captures so much of what I aim to express in my story. I've created a screen print from this artwork on paper, and you can find the new screen prints available for purchase here.

I enjoy taking a moment to appreciate images like this; each tulip is distinct, which adds to their uniqueness. I paint these tulips in real time, allowing me to capture various angles and lighting.

Shop the new tulip screen prints here, I love digitized detailing of these prints, still makes you feel like you are looking at a real tulip.

Fruit Still Life // Paintings + Works On Paper

September 19, 2024

For the past two summers I have painted my 'Fruit Still Life' Series, inspired by the season and the nostalgia a bowl of fruit can bring.

"Well Stocked", was most of my fruit bowls until is was snack time. For me, summer is all about enjoying fresh fruit throughout the day. My mother always kept a bounty of freshly cut fruit on the kitchen counter and dining table, making it easy to snack whenever we wanted.

I’ve always found joy in arranging the fruit bowl right after returning from the grocery store. This series was inspired by my trip to Maine this summer, where we spent five weeks. I aimed to create a sense of home for myself and my children, starting with a vibrant bowl of fruit. Which mostly consisted of fresh green grapes and bananas, I can almost taste the grapes in this piece.

About Time To Make Banana Bread, reminds me the vibrant colors of a fruit bowl and the happiness that can bring, especially when paired with delightful treats like the first banana bread of the season.

'Mid-Summer Flowers' // Works On Paper

July 23, 2024

My new series 'Mid-Summer Flowers' was a combination of a flower I had done painited before, and one that I had not. A couple years ago I painted several small brown-eyed susans which quickly became some of my favorite flowers to paint.

Sunflower No.1

After an afternoon at a friends farm, I became inspired by another brown eyed flower, that was in its mid-summer prime. Her sunflowers were so tall and bright knew they would be beautiful on paper.

My friends persuaded me to revisit my Brown-Eyed Susans series, and since they were blooming in my garden at the time, it was the perfect opportunity to draw inspiration from them.

There are still two remaining works on paper available from the 'Mid-Summer Flowers' Series, shop the collection here.

Thank you for all support and love for this collection, Happy Summer!

'A Wildflower' Lily // Paintings + Works On Paper

July 09, 2024

Lilies in the summer might be my new favorite season for them. Watching the bloom along the water during my evening walks was inspiration for me.

The way these Lilies would blow in the hot breeze here in Charleston gave a similar feel to the dancing of wildflowers, sometimes dancing together and sometimes alone. Which is where Dancing In The Night Sky got her name from.

I created 5 34x40 paintings for this collection, and each one captured the unique movement of a wildflower. "Summer Shower" was inspired by a summer stroll when a sudden storm appeared out of nowhere, but you could see how the lilies enjoyed the refreshing rain.

Central Park Boathouse Commissions

July 08, 2024

This past year the iconic Central Park Boathouse restaurant went under a renovation and rebrand by Friends and Family Design Firm, who graciously reached out to me and shared their vision for the space.

I was commissioned to create 10 pieces inspired from my Nest, Tulips, Lilies and Bird series. All which play a role in the beautiful eco-system of Central Park.

Birds especially are important to the Parks bird watching community, that was one of the first piece are started on, my bird series takes times due to all the layering of colors involved.

All the different odes to the parks beauty is what made this commission so special, I felt like I was able to capture what was just right outside the restaurant doors but also add my touch.

As a person who used to summer near the park, I clearly remember the tulip beds all along the walk way, the vibrance they brought to the park and the people constantly stopping to admire them.

Next time you are in The City please stop by and check out this beautiful landmark that holds some freshly painted art!

'Colors Of Sunday' Nest // Paintings + Works On Paper

April 30, 2024

'Colors Of Sunday' was an ode to my daughter Sunday Clementine, who was born last October. It marked my return to art postpartum, helping me strike a balance between motherhood and my creative passion. The two are inseparable in my life.

'Colors Of Sunday' 60x60

Each Nest series that I paint I always create one Nest painting on a 60x60 canvas, this allows me celebrate the messiness of love. With this series, I want play to be the driving force. Letting the marks layer on top of each other reacting to each new mark. Creating a story of life through my mark-making. Creating a perfect nest out of imperfect marks.

My son and I are collaborated on 'The Missing Piece' during a after school visit to the studio. Having my children as brought a fresh perspective to my recent series, allowing my art to take on new significance as my children become part of the story behind it.

It's amazing to witness the growth of Sunday from the start of my work on the series until its release day. These moments hold a special place in my heart, and I'm grateful that my art allows me to reflect upon them.

Architectural Digest Commission

February 13, 2024

Creating three commissioned pieces for Basic Projects and my close friends Brad and Felicia Taylor last year was an incredible opportunity and a honor. It's truly exciting when a series of artworks can continue to evolve through commissions, and even more so when they are featured in Architectural Digest.

Prior to starting the Magnolias, I had the opportunity to do a walk through with the Taylors and have a detailed conversation about their vision for these artworks. We delved into their desired essence and atmosphere, and how they wished the art to create a serene ambiance in the room.

This commission was inspired by my 'Late Summer Bloom' Magnolia series, the request came a few weeks after the series release, so it was very enjoyable to revisit them and create these flowers on a smaller scale.

A few years ago, I painted a lamp for my son's room and loved the way it accessorized his room. So I was very excited to begin on this third commission piece. The colors perfectly enhance the room's details and immediately draw your attention when you walk in. This room exudes a cozy and inviting atmosphere that I absolutely adore.

This will always remain one of my favorite project because it involved friends, community and AD. All of my favorite things!

2023- Year In Review

January 16, 2024

A little late to my 2023 review, it was a busy year!

Full of new art, projects and a baby! We welcomed our daughter Sunday 'Sunny' McCutchen in October. This year's series were influenced by family, play on colors, and creating pieces that reminded me of my 'roots'. Below are a few highlights that made my year!

Started off the year with a special commission, 4 large works for the Charleston Place Grill. I will always cherish these pieces and the opportunity to create pieces that this community can enjoy.

Framed some 'Love Birds', I got such wonderful response to these works on paper, I can not wait to start on this series in the new year. While this series sold out fast, there are some 'Love Bird' Screen Prints still in stock.

In March, Spring sprung in the studio with the release of my 'Spring Tulips', I always love painting my tulip series because it means Spring has arrived.

This 48 x 60 piece, 'Taking Me Back To You' is still available.

Then summer was here before you knew it and so was my Lily series, the studio was blooming once again.

and Baby Girl was on the way!

July was spent with family in Maine. It was nice to escape the heat wave that the south is in the late summer months, we will always try to keep Maine in our Summer plans.

I was also able to create a new series called 'Fruit Still Life', this was inspired by the

urge to feed and cook my family nourishing foods.

Fruit Still Life No.5

Then we were back in Charleston and back to school, and early fall always brings magnolias.

All three of these beauties are still available here.

October came and brought us Sunny!

We finished out the year with a release of 'Late Summer Bloom' Magnolia screen prints, I have to say that these might be my favorite magnolias that we have done so far!

'Late Summer Bloom' Magnolias No.2

I am so grateful for all the support and THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER WONDERFUL YEAR!

'Fruit Still Life' // Paintings + Works on Paper

August 15, 2023

Inspiration for my 'Fruit Still Life' series came from my time spent in Cape Elizabeth, Maine this summer.

This was a new series for me and I enjoyed being able to create pieces that stemmed from my daily life. This summer I focused on health especially through food, which was easy since I always had fresh fruit around.

Fruit Still Life No.4 is still available, for all those cherry lovers out there!

"Taste of Summer' went quick but Fruit Still Life No.3 is very similar and available!

There are still some 'Fruit Still Life' Works on Paper available. Thank you for all the support! This series will always be special to me and remind me of perfect summer memories.
