I’m hosting an Earth Day watercolor workshop April 22nd at the — a quiet morning of painting in the Texas Hill Country, slowing down and spending time with watercolor together.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This will be my first public workshop after maternity leave and I’m so looking forward to painting with you again!

Tickets are available through the link in my bio 🤍

January was all things baby, nesting projects and wrapping up work before maternity leave—all themes that will continue until little Miss decides to arrive 😉

Paris studies — small, quick paintings made while paying attention to light, movement and street corners I loved on our trip.

These are simpler pieces, capturing moments I wanted to remember. Only 2 are still available alongside larger works 🤍

I’m sharing a small group of Paris paintings and studies today — some new, some returning from last winter.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This feels like a quiet moment to release them before I step into maternity leave.

The collection is now available on my website 🤍

I know we’re far beyond anything christmasy now so feel free to keep scrolling, but I wanted to post a little recap for the mems 🤍 The holidays were sweet and it was extra fun sharing baby girl’s name with family this year (swipe to the end to seeee 🎀). I’ve been quiet around here this new year but going nonstop behind scenes finishing a special commission, hosting private watercolor workshops and doing allll the baby prep! Can we get it all done in the 4 weeks before she arrives??! Let’s find out!! 😆
