It's been awhile since I've had an opportunity to get back to Texas to exhibit my work, but I'm continually working on new ways to share it with you.

My Nautical Bohemia Collection is all about falling in love with adventure. Whether it’s literal or metaphorical, it’s the journeys that we embark upon in life that make us who we are. Whether it’s taking a trip, going on a long run, making a new friend, entering a romantic relationship, starting a new job… there is always a new adventure waiting for us to embrace.

This pandemic is affecting us all in many different ways, and we are each establishing our own ideas about how to perceive all of it.

It's finally that time of year... holiday season is upon us and while there is so much excitement in the air, it can get intense even if you're in the healthiest state of mind, but for those who are entrenched in difficult situations, the holidays can be miserable.

I want to thank everyone who is a part of The Love Necklace Community. There is a woman who is healing from domestic abuse who is wearing the Love Necklace that was gifted to her through the purchase of a Love Necklace. I wish you could have been there when she received it so you could have seen how grateful she was... how much she smiled.

When I first designed the Love Necklace, it was a gift to myself. I wanted to feel loved so badly. I could only image what it would have felt like if, during one of my therapy sessions, my therapist told me out of nowhere, that she had a gift for me.

Down to the Banana Republics, down to the tropical sun… Every time I gaze upon the banana leaves that shade my San Pablo backyard, the calypso beat and steel drum rhythms that accompany Jimmy Buffett’s twangy tenor vocals, play on repeat, through my mind.

This feeling is all too familiar. I remember the last time I felt it, I couldn't run from it. I had to ride a wave of uncertainty until things settled down, and when I had a chance to lift my head above water and catch my breath, I was navigating through a different city, making new friends, and watching the previous chapter of my life dissipate into a foggy haze.

It wouldn't have crossed my mind to illustrate and African inspired watercolor quadryptich, or paint a portrait of Saint Lucy, or to capture the sweet innocence of a jungle-themed nursery, but over the past year, the work that I've been commissioned to paint for my clients has become a hugely important component in my body of work.

I approached the crude structure and pulled aside a piece of madras fabric that had been fashioned into an entrance. Incense smoke twisted and curled through the air in a thick haze. As my eyes adjusted to the dimly lit, smoke filled room, they fixated upon a Nefertiti-esque woman.
Often, my art illustrates the landscape of Texas, the Gulf, and the Caribbean, but when an amazing client asked me to illustrate a collective of African images, I fell in love with the process. I found an inherent strength in studying and rendering images from a continent built upon ages of vibrant culture and wisdom.

One of the luxuries of the Knox/Henderson neighborhood is its walkability. Even when I have a car to drive, I often choose to walk because it feels relaxing to meander along the bright, manicured, city sidewalks.

As an artist with a three and a half year old creative business, I have seen an abundance of ebbs and flows. Sometimes I'm splashing around in a high tide, and sometimes the tide is so low, I wonder if I'm about to be engulfed by a tsunami.

My creative vision is an extension of my soul and for as long as I can remember, I’ve been driven by an innate sensuality. I endeavor to create with that sensuality in a way that empowers and evokes confidence in my audience.
