These two months in the space have flown by and I am proud to say that the work I've created in this short time span is some of my most inspired work.
Let me show you around.
The Office
The smallest room in the studio is definitely the busiest. Here is where I do the bulk of my planning, idea generation, and sketching. Something about these color drenched green walls and warm wood floors get the creative juices flowing in a way that I cannot explain.
The Meeting Room
The front room of the studio is a dedicated meeting space. Here is where we talk and plan out all the exciting things that are coming up. We're not ready to share all of the details yet, but if you look closely you'll see some samples of products you'll be able to use in your home...
on the walls...
covering walls if you get what I'm saying...
The Studio
I don't have a formal name that I call the space where I actually paint, so for continuity, we'll just call this the "Studio" I've got space to move around and work on multiple canvases at a time. I can really step back and look at collections as a whole.
I like being able to see everything spread out.
I am especially grateful for the space as I've been working on the largest collection I've ever done as I prepare for the Harding Art Show in Nashville Tennessee in May. It is truly an honor to be selected as an artist for this year's show.
And the Best Part....
Now, I have room to welcome people in. There's room to sit and get comfortable. I've seen art bring people together in more ways than one. And now, I'm thankful to have the space to do so.
If you find yourself in Laurel, MS, schedule an appointment to come by the studio. I'd love to welcome you and show you what I'm working on. Let's drink coffee and talk about life and art. That sounds pretty nice, doesn't it?
It feels so good to see these walls and canvases filling up and I can happily share that every inch of this space is being used. My family and I are so grateful for this space and what we get to create here. It’s honestly all a dream come true.

Your new studio is beautiful and inspirational. Enjoy and Create. I love your art.
I love trying to keep up with your career and precious family! This space looks like a dreamy workspace where you will make more magic! When things settle, I definitely want to see it in person.
Congratulations on your new spaces.. I know how important it is to have a quite, dedicated space to get inspired.. I love your work and cant wait to see that new wall covering. I have downsized in to my last home (cottage really at 1060sg ft) and so happy to see a print everyday that you did hanging on my very small amount of wall space. Someday I hope to have an original but for now I hope you keep putting some prints out so everyone can enjoy your heart ! God bless you and your family.
I would LOVE to come visit, drink coffee, chat, and “talk art” (I paint, too!). Unfortunately, Laurel is a bit far from Pawleys Island, SC.
Thanks so much for the offer
I may not know much about art but I know what I like and I love your work. I have one of your prints but when I win the lottery, I plan on purchasing some of your originals. You have a wonderful sense of whimsy in your pieces and they are so unique – I really enjoy them. Congratulations on your new space – it’s nice to be able to stretch out. Thanks for sharing your art with us.
