Genuine question for my followers: what's the one thing you'd tell someone buying directly from an artist? If you've never bought directly from an artist before, what questions do you have?

Take a look at "Spider Lily" as my art feature today, and let me know your thoughts and questions.

💡 Practical design tip: Lighting changes everything about how art reads in a room.

Natural light shifts color temperature throughout the day, and most lamps cast warmer or cooler tones than you'd expect.

When you grab "Day Lily", spend some time thinking about the lighting to accompany it.

What type of lighting do you think would work best?

The dog days of summer are here, which means heading inside for a little respite as routines get closer to returning.

How is the art in your home feeling when you're inside cooling off?

"Coastal Sentry" can be a way to make a familiar room feel special again, especially as summer starts to shift toward a steadier season.
