General Needlepoint
While I was a student at Meredith College I was always intrigued by our local needle point store that was located across the street from our campus. Flash forward a few years and one of my friends was working on a canvas during a girls trip to the mountains. It seemed like a relaxing and creative hobby.
I am excited to see how my champagne bottles translate, they are a personal favorite of mine!
About Your Designs
After discovering this fun hobby I wanted to figure out a way to see my designs come to life.
Whimsical, Fun, Colorful
Anything that I am currently obsessed with! I talk to my friends a lot about my work. I like to bounce ideas off other people!
I did a very fun ginger jar series recently!
I love seeing collegiate prints I have created in someone's home, especially when it is my alma mater!
About You
I love to paint and illustrate on my porch
Cooking dinner with my fiancés, snuggling with my cat Milo, and spending time with my friends and family!
Burts Bees chapstick, sunglasses, and a water bottle!
I am currently re-watching Friends for the 100th time!
My favorite podcast is a tie between The Toast and The Giggly Squad
I love following Evelyn Henson!
I would love to focus on a Charleston series! I am getting married there in 2025 and it is a very special place to me!
I am mostly inspired by nature and florals
I am excited to shift my focus from primarily commission work to creating a series that I love.
