I believe everyone home should have that “special nook” where you can cozy up, read. Relax. Analog all the way.

This is mine.

Real paper.
Real ink.
Real people.
Real memories.
Real orchids.

Real peace and quiet.

What’s your favorite spot to chill and get real and connect with yourself?

🎆Happy New Year. Cheers 🥂 to 2026!
Had an amazing dinner . The vibe, the staff. Cheers!
♥️🎆🎉✨

Thank you all for supporting my art and creating such amazing holiday memories. 🎄

🎄Merry Christmas 🎄 and wishing everyone an amazing holiday.

I found this great rendition of “Have Yourself. Merry Little. Christmas” made famous by Judy Garland in the movie “Meet me in St. Louis. I LOVED that film as a kid.

Sharing my love of piano playing. Happy Holidays 🎄

PHASE ONE: Christmas tree decorated or as I like to call is “My 3-D” art project. I make an ornament for my tree every year…not sure yet…but the holiday creative juices are flowing.

Christmas 🎄 isn’t just a tree, it’s a boxful of memories of those who made, share, and gifted me these ornaments over the years for me to build. It’s earned.

✨ New Pencil Sketches Now Available ✨
11” x 14”

Kids grow up in the blink of an eye, and special vacations or milestones fade into memories all too quickly. My pencil sketches are a way to hold onto those fleeting moments — not as exact, photographic replicas, but as essence portraits.

Through layered marks, shifting tones, and subtle textures, I capture the spirit of a memory — the laughter, the movement, the feeling of being there. Each sketch becomes a timeless keepsake that tells your story in a way a snapshot can’t.

📸 Perfect for:
👶 A favorite moment with your child
🏖️ That unforgettable trip
💞 A milestone worth remembering

🎄 Christmas is right around the corner — and these sketches make heartfelt, one-of-a-kind gifts that will be cherished for years.

DM me to reserve your spot and turn your favorite memory into art before the holiday 🎄rush!
