happy 4th!

Have a wonderful 4th of July!

See you back here Monday!

Ed & Ginny's Wedding

My friend Ginny from SCAD recently married her sweetheart, Ed at Serenbe Farm outside of Atlanta. I knew from her blog updates that this was going to be an incredible event. I can't get over the creativity and vision of these young folks today! I love witnessing so many living and creating more artful lives for themselves, which of course, includes their inspired weddings. I only have to see a few moments of Bridezillas to be reminded of what has become a dog and pony spectacle of so many these days. Once Wed did a fantastic job of covering the details of Ginny & Ed's 1920's inspired nuptials and there is even more to enjoy on the amazing photographer, Josh Goleman's site. Best Wishes to the newlyweds for a long and happy life together! xo

A Year of Color- Stripes in July!

Tomorrow is the first day of July which means 'Stripe' month at Artsy Mama's A Year of Color Blog! Cassondra Walters and I will take turns sharing several striped craft projects, a little stripe history, and lots of great sources for all things with...wait for it... stripes! Anyone can still join the blog...just click here! Thanks again, Kari for including me!! xo

Freya Art & Design

I just came across the work of Freya on the front page of Etsy. I see now she's been featured on several blogs...but I just can't help myself. The sentiments she shares in her work are probably ones we've all felt overwhelming our hearts about friends and loved ones, yet Freya so eloquently finds the perfect collection of words to convey them. She sells several affordable versions of her work in prints and cards in her Etsy shop. xo

New To This World

Anna Betts

Happy Friday, everyone! What a sad, strange and scary week its been worldwide. I'm continuing to pray for peace and justice for everyone as I am once again reminded how blessed we are to live in this free country! I noticed the found paper collage work of Anna Betts this morning thanks to Teresa at Art & Light Gallery. Anna's sweet and restrained compositions produce a calming effect in me that I usually lack these days. View more in her etsy shop, Made by Anna or on her blog. xo

coming to artstream, july 11...

I'm super excited to announce an upcoming show I'm participating in called, "deep south" at artstream gallery. The show is curated by Grace Bonney of design*sponge. I'm really grateful to her for including me in a fantastic line up of my favorite Southern artists! I believe the show will be hung in their brick and mortar gallery as well as viewable online. Now...I gotta get back to my paintings so they get there in time! xo
