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!!

Check out my recent trip down California's coast with Kristen Blanton of Hello America on Free People's blog ... 

I am so happy to be featured on "Got A Girl Crush" blog.  I love the message behind their brand and have been a fan of them for quite a while.

The best part of this was that I got play with one of favorite lady friends Amber Fouts.  She shot these images and killed it!!  I am beyond happy with the way she captured me.  Here are some other out takes...

On October 2 I had a show with Billy Reid here in Charleston.  I did a series of works inspired by their Fall 2014 collection.  This experience blended my two passions, beautiful retail spaces and painting.  I could not be more thankful for the responds this project had.  Check out how cool the space looks with my work!

This beautiful bouquet is from my family by the Flower Shop.

This spread is from Goat Sheep Cow and Callie's Biscuits ... YUM!

Thank you so much Billy Reid Charleston!!!  I could not be more appreciative of their hard work and excitement about my work!

If you miss the show you can see all the work here...

My good 'sister' friend stopped by my studio the other week and took these images of me working.  She is one half of 'hello america' a super rad collaboration between lovers on a 'journey to create a pure analogue book of what the American road is in the year 2014'. 

I painted these ukulele as a price for 'hello americas' kickstarter.  Pretty cool project because I love painting Zebras.  And yes, I played each one before I painted it!  :)
