Summer Entertaining
I love entertaining. Whether with my family or friends, creating a warm, welcoming, pretty space brings me so much joy
Giving Thanks
For me, Thanksgiving is about spending time with the loved ones in your life and just being with them uninterrupted, listening, laughing, and enjoying each others company and we can not forget about the incredible dinners we get to share with friends and family. Of course, I love flowers and like to bring a harvest arrangement full of blooms like goldenrods, and sunflowers for the host.
Sunflowers, Perfect for Fall and All Year Round
While we may think sunflowers are a summer flower with their bright yellow petals, they are actually more of a fall flower and can be enjoyed until late October in many parts of North America.
Home Decor Trends 2022 (Part 2)
These past couple of weeks have been busy. The winter home decor shows in Atlanta and New York seem months away but are really closer than we think. At this time of the year, I am always focused on creating new collections to showcase to manufacturers. I am thinking and researching color and icon trends, what interior trends are merging and combine that with what I love to do … paint.
Colours of Fall (and gnomes!)
Every year I look at the changing leaves and I am mesmerized by the colours this season brings. It also makes the impending threat of winter a little easier to manage.
At this time of the year, I am getting ready to slow down a little. After a busy summer, I will be getting back into the studio, painting and getting ready for show season. It’s always a great time to focus on new collections and looks for my customers.
Home Decor Trends 2022 (Part 1)
I have been working in art and home décor for quite a few years - don’t ask me how many. We all have the things we love regardless of trends. Maybe you love contemporary looks or farmhouse. Maybe you are traditional while some of you want a modern urban feel to your space. Our homes are a reflection of who we are and if you are anything like me, you love decorating your space and even more … you love keeping up-to-date with trending looks in the home.
Hello Fall
This was a busy summer for me. Besides visiting with my family and spending time with my grandson, I moved my studio into a new space and finished so many new collections for 2022. And while I love summer, there is something so special about autumn and the changing seasons.

Mint Crush
Spring is almost here and I can’t wait. I love winter but there is something so incredible about the change in seasons. From cold and crisp and dusted with frost and snow, to the budding of flowers and blossoms on trees, spring is one of the most magical seasons of all.

Perfect Pink & Floral Gifts for the Holidays
On the east coast we get cold and dark winters, but also the most incredible vibrant and gorgeous spring and summer months, filled with picnics in the sun, bike rides with people I love, painting outside in the garden, and silently observing nature. Designing this collection made me thankful and happy for the memories and beauty of spring filled days and summer nights at home.
The Art of Note Taking
For me, shades of crisp, beautiful blue reminds me of cold winter mornings and crisp blue skies. Living on the east coast of Canada, we are often blessed with wintery days and blue skies. Those bright winter days are so beautiful that I can’t help but be inspired to capture some of those colors in my art.
