I painted this one afternoon when I just needed to make something happy. Big loose petals, that kind of blue that only shows up in summer, a lot of pink. I wasn't following a plan, just painting until it felt right. Then I couldn't stop imagining it everywhere. On pillows you'd stack on a sofa, on a runner down the middle of a table, on plates you'd actually use, not save for company.

I've been building out the full collection and I would love to see it made. Swipe through to see where it's headed. If you're a manufacturer or designer who works with art like this, DM me. I'd love to talk. If you just love a colorful floral moment, save this one and come along for the ride!

It started with painting one of my favorite flowers - a Tulip. Then I thought, well, I love Poppies too. Then I started looking through my camera roll and found the fun Society Garlic and the Zinnia. Even though I thought it might be pretty hard to pull off, I decided to try a Peony because I do love them too. I think they all turned out fabulous, but I have to say the Peony is my favorite one of them all. I surprised myself with this artwork! Dreaming of what I would want to see it on in my home was the easy part!

Swipe through to see where my head is going with it: from the original paintings to a whole tabletop moment I'd love to see come to life. If you're a product developer or manufacturer and if any of this is calling your name, DM me. I would love to talk about making this collection a reality.

What do you pick up at the beach without thinking about it? For me it’s shells, always shells. I have tons of jars and bowls around my home just filled with shells.

This collection started with one. Swipe to see where it went. And then tell me in the comments: what do you always bring home?

From my studio table to somewhere you’d put your morning coffee. I love the process of creating art, but I love dreaming up products just as much! Swipe to see what ideas I came up with and DM me if you’re instead in licensing this artwork for your products!

Spring takes its time here. Just when you think it has arrived, the temperature drops again. The trees stay bare longer than you expect. The grass starts to turn, but not all at once. It is a slow unfolding.

Every year I forget this. Every year I expect it to happen faster. And every year I find myself waiting, but there is something about that waiting that I have started to appreciate.

There is something about the weird and wonderful shape of ferns, the bright spring green color, and how they unfurl in my backyard each year. I was thinking about them back in March when everything was still snowy and cold here, so I painted one during my 100 day project. Once I did that, there was a noticeable shift in my paintings. Now that they are emerging in my yard, I decided to paint one on a large canvas to hang in our home.

Stayed tuned for the finished artwork and where I decide to hag it, but in the meantime, send this to a friend who loves ferns!

A birthday well spent looks like this: leaves in your pocket, paint on your hands, a sketchbook full of green and an outfit that matches!

Swipe to see what happens when you slow down and actually look at a place.

Save this one if you ever need a nudge to bring your sketchbook somewhere worth paying attention to!

It has been the best day!!! For my birthday I spent the entire afternoon enjoying the art and magic of Chihuly glass at the Frederik Meijer Gardens. Meandering pathways, photographing interesting textures and leaf shapes, and then sitting down to sketch and paint for a few hours by myself. It was heaven!

And the indoor exhibit of his shells and cylinders was so, so good. I’m astounding at the details and colors he can achieve.

Can you spot the photos I was inspired by in my sketchbook? Need to let it dry and add some finishing touches.
