At its core, Besties is a tribute to unconditional love. It represents both the love we give to the beautiful creatures that depend on us and the unmeasurable love and comfort they give us in return. I have always said that I would never design a collection based on pets because it would be too difficult to capture the relationship that we build with our closest companions. I finally decided to take on the challenge. The collection represents many more companions than dogs and cats! I couldn't leave out the other animals that we bring into our homes and make a part of our family. In addition to our beloved dogs and cats in Besties, you will also find goldfish, bunnies, turtles, and hamsters. The companion pieces are more representative of the bonds we create, like the Lil Charmer print, which is a classic best friend charm necklace representing two halves of one heart. Since this print is basically the "heart" of the collection, I have enlarged and repeated the print as the 108" wide backing fabric!

Why did I paint a butterfly line? Butterflies are beautiful and the rich, vibrant colors are perfect for my style of painting. Butterflies symbolize life, hope, and beauty. They also represent change, growth, and transformation. Many believe that butterflies signify the freedom to take flight from the world we live in. I hope that this fabric line, Butterfly Fields, makes your world a more beautiful place!

‘Buttermere’ refers to an area of the Lake District in the UK. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty and is heavily inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement with William Morris as a significant influence. The lovely bright palette in the collection of vivid yellows and iconic blues running throughout evokes the stunning landscapes and interiors found in the area. Morris patterns can be found in various influential houses around the area such as ‘Daisy’ in the Beatrix Potter House.

Our Fair Home celebrates the momentous move to our new home, which is actually a very old historic cottage in Franklin, TN. After nearly 20 years in our previous family home, there were many delicate emotions attached to the shift in the family environment, but it seems my eyes were opened wider to this new place. The collection is filled with representations of specific moments, as well as, some imaginings of the life and times this house certainly has seen since 1900- all with a friendly, showy, Southern twist. A beautiful mother robin was named “Aphrodite” when she nested and welcomed her hatchlings atop our porch column that rises over the foxgloves. My neighbor’s abelia shrubs graciously spill over the fence line between us and attract a fleet of swallowtail butterflies in the “Neighborly” print. My dear friend gifted our new home with a stunning peony bush portrayed in “Housewarming.” All these graceful bends in branches and blooms are supported by an exciting array of hand-drawn florals and geometrics that mix eras and styles. Come on in!

Working on RAVEL was an amazing opportunity to continue my visual exploration into shapes. For this collection, I focused on the modern Roman alphabet (aka the 26 letterforms from A—Z) as the primary shapes. RAVEL became a collection of prints about these shapes coming together and falling apart. While creating, my main questions circled around a.) How can I break letters apart into new, interesting forms, and b.) Is it possible to obscure these already imbued symbols so much that they ‘lose’ their meaning? The letterforms in RAVEL run the gamut from being clear and legible to fractured, and finally to some forms completely disintegrating into their environments. According to Merriam-Webster, a contronym is a word having two meanings that contradict one another, so finding the word ‘ravel’ was perfect for bringing all these ideas together in a collection form. Ravel means both to tangle and to untangle, which is a wonderful way to think about these visual shapes in space.
