I'm in the studio again today, starting 3 canvases in a new small size that I want to test out.  Hopefully these turn out and I can share them here soon.  Also, wanted to say a big "thanks!" to Victoria at her lifestyle blog, vmac+cheese.  She featured my work in a really nice post, so make sure you stop by and have a look! 

Hmm...now I have a craving for some really good macaroni and cheese...
Have a great weekend everyone!

Unbelieveable!  One of the fantastic things about being an artist and selling your work is that you never know where your paintings will end up.  Recently I came across my own work on Design*Sponge - how crazy is that?!  It's all thanks to the tremendous blogger Stephanie Brubaker, who purchased one of my tiny paintings.  Her amazing home was featured on Design*Sponge, and with it, my art - Thank you, Stephanie! 

Recently I have been lucky to have my work appear on some fantastic interior design blogs... 

I'm so honored to have a large work on canvas chosen by Laurie at Laurie Griffiths Interior Design for her post:   10 Fab Artists to Check Out.  She's done such a wonderful job describing my work and I adore the other artists she has featured.

Kristen at K Sarah Designs has curated a lovely post that includes one of my small works on paper:  Affordable Art for Gallery Walls. Be sure to check out her recipes too, they look amazing!

Also, several works on paper have been selected by Bryn Dunn of Bryn Alexandra's for Loving Lately - Have a look at her food blog too, 80% Healthy (I always look forward to her posts on both blogs!)

Make sure you stop by and see what else these ladies are writing about, and see the photos of all the gorgeous, fresh spaces they design.  I'm happy to have several great new blogs to follow!

I'm over at west elm's blog, Front & Main today - yay!  Thank you, west elm!

Just got my copies of the first drop of the West Elm Summer catalog in the mail and my work is included in it!  Unreal!

I am so so happy to be able to (finally) announce that my work will be featured in the West Elm Summer 2012 catalog!  For those of you who may be unfamiliar with West Elm, it was launched by Williams-Sonoma Inc. in 2002 and "has become a destination for design lovers–and it continues to grow. Mixing clean lines, natural textures and global accents, west elm creates unique, affordable designs for modern living."

Waaaay back in September 2011, I was asked to participate in their photoshoot, with the possibility of being selected for the catalog.  I scrambled to get the requested (large) painting to the shoot in Brooklyn (they needed it ASAP).*  There were no guarantees that I would be included in the catalog, and I'm so fortunate to have made the cut!  West Elm partners with select Etsy artists to be featured online and in each of their seasonal catalogs, so they have original artwork paired with their products, and the artist's etsy shop is mentioned, too.

To receive a West Elm catalog, you can sign up right here.

*I had literally just delivered the painting to Sleeth Gallery for exhibition!  I am so grateful that Sleeth Gallery director Margo Davis let me drive down and substitute the painting.  Thank goodness the exhibit hadn't been installed yet, whew!

I am very fortunate to have really awesome collectors like blogger Tonya aka The Bee Charmer.  She is an attorney who lives in North Carolina with two Corgis(love) and owns two of my paintings.  Thanks for the really nice post and showing some love for another WV gal - it's appreciated!

You remember Gray Blush Gallery, the awesome new online gallery that I am working with?  They have unleashed their brand new website!  Make sure you stop by and check it out - and don't forget to visit my profile page on the site as well as browse through all the other great artists they carry...

I am thrilled to say that my work is being featured on stephmodo right now. Big thanks!  Go check out Stephanie's blog right now, every post is so lovely!

Just wanted to say a quick "thank you!" to everyone who stopped out at the Arts Walk on Saturday. It was a great time and I truly appreciate all the people who came to visit all the artists showing. I even made the local news!
