Pop!

This weekend, I had the great fun of being the ‘featured local maker’ at Hollie’s Homegrown in Lafayette, CA.

The shop is filled with local honey, salts, oils, body care, items for the table, and art along with teas and wines for tasting and taking home.

The aesthetics of my work fit perfectly with the amber honey, hibiscus tea, and green plants.

My favorite part of the first day was watching someone select a painting and know exactly where she wanted to put it in her home. Later in the day I received a text message from her with a photo of the painting in its new spot!

I also loved talking about growing things—both businesses and plants—with Hollie!

Fo me, making art in my studio is also about community—the community we can create by sharing art and our own experiences with each other.

In other news, little watercolor kits & ephemera packages I created will be available in the shop soon!
