Walk through a big box decor aisle and you will see it fast: the same framed coastal print, the same beige abstract, the same “modern” wall art repeated in slightly different sizes. Stores like Target and T.J. Maxx can make a room feel finished quickly, and sometimes that is useful. But finished is not the same as personal. In the age of AI, that difference matters more than ever. Images can now be generated in seconds. Trends move faster. Walls are filling up with art that l

A home starts to feel personal when the art has something to say. Furniture gives a room function, color sets the mood, and lighting makes everything easier to live with. But art gives a space its point of view. For an art enthusiast, home decor is not just about filling empty walls. It is about choosing pieces that hold attention, invite conversation, and make everyday rooms feel layered. The best homes rarely look like showrooms. They look collected, lived in, and shaped by

Color Everywhere One of the biggest ways Tampa Bay influences my work is through color. Bright skies, blue water, colorful sunsets, murals, and buildings that are not afraid to stand out. Being surrounded by that every day naturally pushed my art to become brighter and more vibrant. I didn’t sit down one day and decide to use more color. It just happened. Whether I am painting or working digitally, those Florida colors always find their way in. Taking a Leap and Finding My St

Curious about the tools behind handmade art? I’m sharing my favorite supplies—from vibrant paints to unexpected studio hacks—and showing how they help me create pieces I’m proud of.

As this year comes to a close, I just want to pause for a moment and say thank you . Truly. Every order, share, kind message, and word of encouragement has meant more to me than I can ever fully put into words. Supporting a small business, especially an art-based one, is never a given, and the fact that you chose my work means the world. Creating art is deeply personal, and getting to share it with people who genuinely connect with it is something I never take for granted. T

The Ultimate Tampa Bay Holiday Gift Guide of 2025 Shopping small during the holidays always feels a little more special. You’re not just buying a gift — you’re supporting someone’s passion, creativity, and hard work. This year, I wanted to highlight some of my favorite small businesses (of course I'm on the list too), including makers I admire and local vendors you may have seen at markets like Indie Flea or Shopapalooza. I’m also including links throughout the post so you ca

If there’s one thing that’s been constant in my life, it’s my love for Lady Gaga — and my passion for creating art inspired by her. I’ve been drawing and painting Gaga since 2009, back when “Poker Face” was on repeat and I was just starting to explore what art meant to me. Here's my first ever drawing of Lady Gaga in 2009. It's funny to look back on now, but I was so proud of it in the moment! Over the years, my art has changed a lot — new styles, new mediums, new confidence.
