Being featured as one of Freda Salvador's Freda Girls was such an honor! I was happy to give them a peek into my studio and creative process, and Olivia Rae James was there to capture it! I love that Freda Salvador is creating shoes that make it easy to feel confident and sophisticated, yet playful. Their shoes have graced the feet of many inspiring women, and I'm so humbled to be in the Freda Girl mix.

The 'ladies in conversation' series is inspired by the support I find through just sitting and having a conversation with girlfriends, chatting about life over coffee. When we started planning the show for this series, I wanted to find a space that the series felt at home within. Chrome Yellow offered a clean white space with an approachable feel, and how fitting for the 'ladies in conversation' to be right where we've all shared so many special moments- in a coffee shop! I'm excited to share some of the images taken at the beginning of the evening!
I called Atlanta home for a long time, so some of my greatest friends live there. It was very special to have my Atlanta friends and my family join me for the show.
I have been busy working on my new and upcoming series 'Ladies in Conversation'. This series emulate the beauty and intimacy that I find between women in conversation. Lizzy Rollins, local photographer here in Charleston, came to hang out in the studio and capture the progress of this challenging and vibrant body of work. As two women enjoying conversation, It was a 'full-circle' moment of what I was hoping to achieve with the series - light conversation with an inspiring person creating beautiful things.
I've had a blast working with West Elm to share my Abstract Prints with their viewers. We took it a step further and made a Local video documenting my romance with Charleston. I am so thankful to live where I live and do what I do with the support of my community. Check out the video below!
Only Love.

These images are from my recent trip to Paris. I am using them as inspiration for new works. I will release [8] new 36x36 NEST inspired by these images on Friday December 11 at 9:30am EST.
These images are from my show at FLOWERSHOP. Lily (shop owner and badass florist and the pretty lady I am hugging above) and I collaborated on this body of work. I painted and she seduced me with beautiful flower arrangements. This work makes me extremely proud! I am grateful for this show and this round of 'girls with flowers' feels like my best work yet!
Along with my original works I offered 18x24 limited addition hand signed prints (left image above).
These bundles of fresh dahlias and other surprises are from the FLOWERSHOP!!! Lily and I drove to Asheville the night before the show to cut these beauties from Poppins Posies - a flower farm 30 mins outside the city. Talk about a dream!
Thank you so much for a wonderful night and a successful show!!
