Harbour Island, here they come. 🎨✨
I'm sending these paintings off to Princess Street Gallery in the Bahamas, where they'll be featured in a special event when the gallery reopens this November.
I'm hosting a Sketchbook Retreat in Harbour Island this February, which is your opportunity to see these paintings in person!
There are still a few spots available if you’d like to join us.
🌴 Details and registration are available through the link in my bio.
My studio clean-out has officially spilled into the rest of the house… so, it’s time.
I love posting about the process and stories behind each piece — but often I forget to mention that they’re also available for purchase.
If something you’ve seen here has caught your eye, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to answer any questions.
🖼️ You can also visit the Shop on my website (link in bio) to see what’s currently available.

“I don't think there's any artist of any value who doesn't doubt what they're doing.” — Francis Ford Coppola
At every workshop, there's a moment when someone says,
“I’m not an artist”
or
“I’m afraid I’ll mess it up.”
Once we loosen our grip on expectations, we can lean into the joyful flow of looking closely and focusing on the lines, shapes, and beauty in the world.
You don’t have to be fearless to make art.
You just have to show up.
🌴 Want to experience this for yourself?
Join me for the Harbour Island Sketchbook Art Retreat in February - for 4 days of gentle creativity + connection. I'll hold your hand (literally if need be!) through all the steps of learning to make art about a special place.
✨ HURRY! Early bird pricing ends Nov 1.

Recently I was prepping the studio for a collector visit…
I laid out a selection of works—each one holding memories, textures, and quiet moments from the past few years.
It’s always interesting to revisit old work. Some pieces feel like old friends. Others surprise me—like I’m seeing them for the first time.
I love the opportunity to see the work with fresh eyes, rediscovering each piece.
Thanks for stepping behind the scenes with me. 🩵
