Soft energy.
Strong standards.
If you’re aligned… you know what to do.

Came home with some beautiful shells, new memories… AND a big bag of rubbish we collected off the beach! Because loving where you live also means protecting it! So grateful for this coastline. And beyond thankful for my Shorebird Rescue Teammate Cindy who made this day both magical and meaningful. 💗

Inspired by , I poured a lot of heart and soul into this piece! It’s meant to invite reflection rather than answers, what you see, feel, or question is part of the work. Does it call on us to make a difference? I’d love to hear what it brings up for you!

NEW! 😍 Absolutely love this one which is titled "Eira." Let me know in the comments what you think? Which room would you hang it?

Swaying in the hammock today, listening to the breeze and the pond fountain, I find myself feeling incredibly grateful! Grateful for my health, for quiet moments outdoors, and for the simple joy of being surrounded by nature as we head into the season of thankfulness.

If you’re able, take a few minutes to step outside, breathe deeply, and let a little sunshine find you. It’s amazing what nature can reset. 🥰

🎨🐦 TONIGHT! Come support a great cause in Newport, NC!

Hey Carteret & Onslow Counties! Looking for something fun to do from 4–7pm tonight (June 21)? Come out to Carolina Home & Garden in Newport and help raise funds for (OWLS) to continue their life-saving mission! 💚💕💚

I’ll be there with a few of my rare small originals — including this cool Shad Lure piece (part of a 3-piece series 🎣) — plus some fun surprises! Most of my giant canvases are staying home, but if you fall in love with one, I can hand-deliver it and still donate the proceeds to OWLS! 🙌

Enjoy local art, sip tasty drinks, play bingo, and support this amazing organization that helps protect our wild neighbors. Hope to see you there — let’s do some good together! 🥂✨

📍 Carolina Home & Garden, Newport NC
🕓 4–7pm tonight only!



P.S... I really am loving "Pink Shad" in my bathroom with the wave wallpaper! 😍 I don't want to split up the set, so come convince me you NEED the series of three in your life instead of me doing my usual and wanting to keep all my art! Because I'm running out of wall space! Haha 🤣
