EttaVee

A few weeks ago I explored the beautiful city of Istanbul 🇹🇷 with my husband. To say I loved it would be an understatement! In additional to exploring the vibrant and bustling Turkish culture — visiting this city gave me the perfect creative boost I’ve been yearning for! I’ve written my very first Substack about travel, inspiration and the city of Istanbul ✨ ettavee.substack.com

Many of you have noticed my watercolor mosaic series. These mosaics are inspired by the colorful mosaic lamp shops all over Istanbul. The jewel-toned colors & warm glow just makes my heart sing! Swipe to see these beauties and to see a little bit of what I’ve been working on. I’ll be releasing the to my newsletter subscribers next Friday, March 20th!!

Art therapy, for me, is self care. I’ve been leaning hard into my art lately ❤️

2026 is the new 2016? Ok, I’ll play along!! 😍

Ten years ago, Paris was my playground. I left my agency job and it was my first year out on my own running EttaVee full-time. It was a time of exploration, inspiration, slinging mud to see what sticks and HARD work to try and grow my business into the BRAND I had dreamed of & BELIEVED I could build!

I tried any and everything and learned many many lessons. The first photo is from an Etsy Christmas market where I barely sold anything and was considering giving up on my dream. I knew I had a little one on the way, and that alone gave me the drive to keep going. I’m SO thankful I did because the following year everything changed for my little EttaVee brand & for my life 💖 I’m hoping to capture a little more of that 2016 magic in 2026!
