TREASURE HUNT • Acrylic • 24” x 48”

This painting conveys a moment I captured of our son during one of our family beach walks, as we looked for nature’s treasures at low tide. He had broken his arm at the beginning of summer and wasn’t able to participate in his favorite summer activities such as sports and jumping waves in the ocean. As a parent, it was difficult watching him miss out, but I was constantly amazed at his positivity and resilience. Watching him in this moment made me think about how we are always searching and the many places our life’s journey takes us.

I love the perspective of this first shot. I know the angle isn’t a normal view, if you had this hung in your house, but I just think it’s so badass and cool and it’s my account so I can post it and y’all will just have to deal 😆😜. But really, thanks for all the love you’ve shown me on this piece so far. I’m really proud of it and can’t wait to make more versions of this design. 💙🌾

Spanish moss drapes the live oak trees that are ubiquitous to the Edisto Island area. Did you know that Edisto gets its name from the native Edistow people?

Riding into the weekend like...

Isn`t this live oak tree tunnel beautiful? Live oak, draped in Spanish moss, is emblematic of South Carolina and many of the Southern states. We love these iconic trees, not only for their beauty, but their history as well. The average lifespan of a live oak is 300 years!

Anyone else deal with terrible sleep in the third trimester? It`s been brutal. Combo of overall anxiety/mind racing, digestion discomfort and having to pee all the time! 😐
