The Orchid Collection

How are we already 231 days into 2020?! This year has felt like a time warp. I have embraced (*check me on any given day for an accurate mood-reading) full hermit life and have started collecting orchids as studio mates. Enter my first collection of 2020: The Orchid Collection! These 10 paintings aim to capture the spirit and color of these floaty friends…I mean flowers. To me, orchids are optimistic, growing higher and higher, sharing their beauty even when they need a little support on their way up. (Hello 90s butterfly hair clips! ) Sophisticated yet playful, with an effortless elegance, I hope these paintings can bring some beauty to your office…I mean home.

Scroll down the homepage, past the slideshow to view.

 

The collection has 10 paintings ranging in size from 5x5 to 24x30.

Prices range from $150-$700.
 
 

Life Update

Stephen and I postponed our wedding celebration due to coronavirus.  We are still planning on getting married this year with just our immediate families and hope to have our big celebration next year. Stephen works in medical device engineering and has been working extra hard with increased demand and innovation for Covid-19. Tripp the dog and I hold down the fort while Stephen is away at the office. I paint and Tripp snoozes; he is a fan of dramatic groans indicating that it's time for a neighborhood walk. Our trio (Tripp providing moral support) has been doing lots of home projects, we’ve become avid maple syrup consumers, watched all 6 seasons of Schitt’s Creek, and feel very lucky to be healthy and together.
 

Commissions

I am so grateful to have worked on many exciting commissions this year. I would love to bring your vision to life with a custom piece of artwork. Pictured below is a misty abstract seascape I did for a home in La Jolla. Please message me with any commission ideas—let’s brainstorm and have some fun!

I have also been painting a lot more watercolors. I like the soft whimsical feeling and the delicate brush strokes. I use watercolor for my portraits, illustrations, marketing, and invitation work.
