Major Studio Milestones:
Travel Tales & A National Feature
Hello friends and art lovers!
Late summer is always a season of reflection and fresh energy in the
studio, and this past month has brought some truly milestone moments
that I am so excited to share with you.
From painting under French skies to seeing my work featured on the
national stage, here is a look at what's been happening behind the
easel.

I recently returned from an unforgettable painting trip through the
stunning countryside of southwest France. Spending uninterrupted days
capturing the golden light, rustic villages, and rolling landscapes was
completely revitalizing for my creative spirit.
I've gathered my photos, thoughts, and studio reflections from the
journey over on the blog.
