Since I started this little studio, I’ve dreamed of creating a snail mail club. A monthly subscription that would help me stay connected with collectors, encourage creativity beyond the classroom, and provide a little consistency as I continue building this business as a full-time artist.

A love letter from me to you. 💌

As we’ve celebrated World Watercolor Month, I’ve found so much joy in writing the daily blog posts with creative inspo and journal prompts. It’s a practice I don’t want to end when July does. I want to keep creating that space for all of us!

So, I’m incredibly excited to introduce The Collector’s Club.

For just $12/month, you’ll receive:
- An original 4×6 art print
- 1–2 thoughtfully curated paper goodies (think bookmarks, mini prints, postcards, stickers, and other surprises)
- A heartfelt letter from me filled with seasonal inspiration, journal prompts, favorite recipes, behind-the-scenes studio updates, creative encouragement, and little moments I hope brighten your month.
- Chance to win the original of the month!

✨ Founding Members: Join before August 1 to receive a special limited-edition Founding Member print that will never be offered again.

I can’t wait to share this tradition with you! Welcome to the Collector’s Club ♥️

✨SHOP SPOTLIGHT: Genevieve’s✨

Genevieve’s in Downtown Blue Springs holds a special place in my heart. Owner Sammy has become a dear friend and is such a sweet supporter of my work. In her charming boutique, you can find home goods, gifts, and women’s apparel. Here, I sell my art prints, frames, and watercolor supplies (freshly restocked!).

Ongoing construction on Main Street has made it challenging to rely on foot traffic for summer sales. Show DTBS some love and visit Miss Sammy! If you’re looking for a fun local outing, make a day of it! Grab a coffee from Scout Coffee, browse Genevieve’s, then wander down to Read & Rooted for books, plants, and a few more pieces of my artwork hanging on the walls. 😉

✨SHOP SPOTLIGHT: Basement Books✨ Basement Books in Liberty was one of the very first spaces to carry my work and is still my number 1 spot! Here, you can shop my largest selection of watercolor supplies, art prints, frames, and bookmarks. You can find my work in two spots - the large back corner display and the book nook close by.

This indie used bookshop is nestled in Downtown Liberty on the historic square and features work from several local authors and makers (including fellow watercolor artist @lunasfairyemporium 🧚✨). Owner Stevie is a champion for small business, community, and indie authors. She is always finding new ways to support her vendors, and I am so grateful! I have been blown away by the support of my work in my new expanded display and cannot wait to see how this space grows.

Happy National Repeat Day! Repetition is the best way to really master technique, and it also happens to be a very meditative practice. Tonight’s Meditative Watercolor workshop at Bluebird Studio focused on relaxing, repetitive patterns that encouraged presence and flow. Each design was paired with mantras and questions to ponder, as we painted to soothing sounds.

So proud of these students for trying something new and investing time in self care. I am truly grateful for nights like these 🩵

Happy June, you little sneaks! Y’all surprised me with wins in FOUR categories for Kansas City Magazine’s 2026 Best of KC issue.

Life as an artist can be painfully humbling some days, but today ain’t one of them 😜 Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank YOU.

Behind every award, sold-out workshop, and exciting opportunity are plenty of fumbled fairs, scrapped sketches, and lessons learned the hard way. Just last week, I taught a class that left my inner critic in a spiral. But one imperfect day doesn’t erase years of growth. Thank you for trusting me with your creativity, supporting my little studio, and reminding me to keep showing up. I don’t take any of it for granted. ❤️

There’s a buzzing in Kansas City in anticipation of June and World Cup madness. I thought we could use a calming class to kickstart the month and ground us before all the excitement. Join me Wednesday, June 3rd 6-8PM at Bluebird Studio for Meditative Watercolor 😌🎨

A little plein air practice before the rain 🌿

A little plein air practice before the rain 🌿

Last night, I was honored to be one of the featured artists for Stems: A Garden Soirée at the Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens! 🥹🎨

15 local artists were selected to each hand paint 200 wine glasses for the evening’s guests, and I still can’t believe we made it happen! Over 1,200 people came out to support the Overland Park Arts & Recreation Foundation and celebrate art, nature, and community together.

General admission opened at 7:00. I walked in at 7:10 and my table was already empty. 😭♥️ It was an overwhelming and very validating moment as an artist.

In hindsight, I very much regret not taking more photos of the glasses before dropping them off LOL, but I’m so grateful they found homes so quickly.

Huge thank you to the Arts & Rec Foundation not only for featuring my work, but for all they do to uplift local artists. Also very grateful for my family for constantly reminding me that I am my biggest critic and for holding my hand when I doubt myself. ♥️

A pair of paintings for Mother’s Day 🌸

It is always an honor to bring a client’s idea to life, especially when there are so many meaningful details to weave in. These pieces honor the women they were gifted to, the loved ones they’ve lost, and the family still in bloom. 🕊️💐

💛 Meet Mariah! 💛 Mariah Mochon is the face and heart behind Mental Health in a Box and The Moderne loft. She curates monthly self care boxes and weekly self care events at her beautiful venue in the Crossroads. Mariah is a ball of sunshine and an absolute force. I am so honored to share that we will be hosting monthly themed watercolor workshops together on first Wednesdays!

We are kicking things off with Wildflowers this Wednesday 6-8PM. My first workshop in KC proper and the largest venue I’ve had the privilege to teach in! We still have a few spots open, and I would absolutely love to fill this one up with your help ☺️🌸

We’ll paint spring florals, sip sangria, snack a little, and forget about everything else for a couple hours. This is a night for self-care, connection, and creativity 🌼✨

Hope to see you there! 💛
