It is meant to bring color and light to people who need it the most!

Mainly traveling, but my last collection called “Nurture” was all about mommahood. I was walking through a really hard time. My second daughter has epilepsy. It’s been a really hard process for us. And then I was pregnant and about to give birth to Rosie. So just realizing that we are delicate people, women, but we have a lot of power.

I think uplifting moms in that way and also having this cool sensitive side that is nurturing is something to be recognized. So that was the inspiration for my “Nurture” collection.

Yes! My husband and I converted a short bus and lived out of it for a year while we were traveling across the country, and parts of Canada. I did a lot of on the scene paintings. I literally would pull out my painting stuff and go paint on a table, or on the beach, or anywhere. And what was cool about that is the amount of interaction that I would have with random people. It made for a very authentic work/life balance.

I am currently working on a spring/summer landscape textured collection!

Traveling, especially to the beach. My family loves to get outside and get active.

Mostly chill vibes. Like The Head and the Heart. Maggie Rogers. I like chill vibes while I’m working and also inspirational. And I love podcasts too. Like The Moth, it’s all these short stories from different people. It’s super inspiring.
