✨Happy Birthday, America! 🎆
A little bit of stars, a little bit of stripes, and a whole lot of summer sweetness. 🍓🫐
I love finding small ways to bring a touch of artful charm to holiday traditions. This hand-painted pattern was inspired by backyard barbecues, shared laughter, and the simple joy of gathering together on a warm July afternoon.
Whether you’re slicing up fresh watermelon or firing up the grill today, I hope your holiday is filled with big smiles and slow, beautiful moments.

When you do something intuitively, you don’t always realize how many little layers go into the decision until you sit down to write them out!🎨✨
As an artist, one of the questions I get asked most often is how I pick the color stories for my artwork and surface pattern designs. But here’s the secret: these exact same steps apply whether you’re standing in a fabric shop, pulling bolts for a quilt, or trying to create a home with soul.
Here’s a peek into my studio color process. Head to the link in my bio to read the full breakdown on my blog.
I’d love to know in the comments which color story speaks to you the most?👇🏻

Austin summers hit different—and my sketchbook is proving it. 🥵✨
The heat might be intense, but that golden Texas light is quietly shaping my palette, my motifs, and the way I paint this month.
From deep yellows and fiery oranges to the sunsets and hibiscus flowers taking over my pages, this is what June looks like in my creative process.

Naming a painting is harder than painting it. Yep, I said it...
This one came together around a feeling, that slow, beautifully bright kind of summer day where the bougainvillea is almost offensively pink, the sea is doing that impossible shade of blue, and someone has set a table outside because why would you ever eat indoors. Wouldn't you love to have lunch on this terrace?
Every detail felt intentional as I was painting it: the lemon tree in terracotta, the embroidered floral tablecloth, the cobalt chairs, the lighthouse just visible on the horizon. But now I'm staring at it and I cannot commit to a title!
My current shortlist:
Option A: "A Seat by the Agean"
Option B: "Sea Breeze Luncheon"
Option C: "Amalfi Afternoon"
Vote below. Bonus points if you suggest something I haven't thought of yet.
