" I've always been drawn to colorful patterns, and seeing my very own designs come to life on products like stationery, home decor, fabric,
and more, is a dream come true."
I've had the pleasure of collaborating with a variety of brands to create beautiful products you can use in your home. I also have my own online shop where you will find original art, prints, and more. Are you a fellow artist? I teach online classes for how to run an art business and share free resources on my blog!
Why I Love It
Every day I am grateful to have built a career surrounding my art. I love being creative not only with my hands through painting, but with how I evolve and shape my business. Running a creative business isn't without its challenges, but I truly enjoy the process and the possibilities it creates in my life.
What I Do
my hometown NEW ORLEANS
vintage textiles + prints
WHO INSPIRES ME
This city is filled with so much inspiration, I don't know if I could leave! Unless it means moving to Italy ;)
The patterns and color palettes of vintage and antique fabrics are fascinating to me. I love to create designs with a nod to nostalgia, yet with a fresh, modern feel.
A few of my favorite visual artists who have inspired me along my journey are Vera Neumann, Sonia Delaunay, Alma Thomas, and Helen Frankenthaler.
What inspires me!
A look back on MY BUSINESS
First officially registered my business while in college. I sold handmade goods at local art markets.
2011
This was the year I took the leap and left my full-time graphic design job. A year full of self-doubt, getting my bearings as a business owner, and lots of (slow) growth. Started the 100 Day project, painting a watercolor pattern every day. Licensed my very first artwork!
2015
Finished the 100 Day Project and launched my online shop! My art was shared by Design*Sponge and A Beautiful Mess and licensing clients continued coming in. Taught my first Skillshare class!
2016
This was another eventful year. Got engaged! Continued working with new licensing clients including Birchbox and more. Expanded my shop and continued to develop my style.
2017
My first fabric collection was released. Got married! Taught my first live watercolor workshops at Minted's conference in Las Vegas to over 100 artists. Painted my first set of ornaments.
2018
Wrote my first art business resource, The Art Licensing Guide. Moved into my new studio. Started painting larger acrylic paintings. Collaborated with Anthropologie.
2019
Taught my online course, Licensing for Artists, to artists all over the world.
2020
Currently I am busy with work with my agency, running my online shop, and teaching fellow artists all over the world!
2025
