Hello everyone,

Happy summer! I cannot believe my favorite time of year is finally here! The hydrangeas are blooming, it is warm out and I am on summer vacation until early August, life is good:). I hope you are having a wonderful June so far.

I wanted to share with you an exciting new collection that recently released with my favorite coastal brand, Cailini Coastal. The collection is called “Charmed by the Coast” and it is inspired by my time at our island home during the summer months. The paintings are meant to capture the beauty of iconic light houses, charming hydrangeas gardens, sailboats racing across the water, historic schooners and a longing for slow days on the water and wonderful memories made along the shore.

While these paintings were inspired by my own experiences on Lake Erie, they are meant to evoke something familiar and personal to each of my viewers and I hope to capture the warmth, nostalgia and sense of belonging that comes from returning to the summer places and moments we all cherish.

I absolutely LOVED working on this collection and I hope you love the new paintings also! Thanks so much for checking them out and have an amazing day!
