Wild Banker ponies along the North Carolina coast.

This original 8" x 10" oil painting combines two of my favorite subjects - horses and the ocean. I paired it with a one-of-a-kind tabletop frame that I made using found seashells, arranged in a mix of natural colors and textures.

I love experimenting with unexpected frames for my paintings, and this one feels especially fitting for the coastal subject.

Two new equestrian card games are officially out in the world!

I'm excited to share that the first two Rider's Block™ activity decks I illustrated and designed for Stable Mind are now available.

From the first concept sketches to the final packaging, this project combined several things I love: equestrian illustration, visual storytelling, and creating products that are both beautiful and functional.

Seeing artwork move from Illustrator onto a finished product never gets old.

Congratulations to the Stable Mind team on the launch!

Every room deserves one piece that starts the conversation.

This original oyster shell painting began as loose layers of paint and slowly evolved into something that feels both coastal and timeless. I paired it with a beautifully restored antique oval wood frame that had already lived a long life before finding its perfect match.

I love creating artwork this way—letting the painting and the frame find each other.

For interior designers, decorators, and collectors looking for original artwork with character, this one-of-a-kind piece bring warmth, texture, and history that simply can't be replicated.

Swipe to see a few progress photos from the studio.

New painting in my coastal series. 🐴🌊

A matching pair of little waves, each tucked into a vintage frame discovered during one of my antique shop treasure hunts.

I'm finding that these paintings are as much about the search as the painting itself. Every frame has a history, and I love giving them a new life alongside fresh artwork inspired by the coast.

Part of the fun of these little ocean paintings has been the hunt for vintage frames. I spent an afternoon digging through antique shops looking for just the right match, and this one felt like it had been waiting for this wave all along.

Lately, I've been finding my way back to painting and embracing imperfection, texture, and the unexpected. This wave is part of that exploration.

I’m incredibly honored that The Pony Island received the FIRST PLACE award for Equine-Related Website from the American Horse Publications Awards 🐴

One part of the judges’ feedback especially meant a lot to me:

“The Pony Island website delivers an exceptional and highly cohesive brand experience that is clearly aligned with its mission to educate and engage young horse enthusiasts.”

From the beginning, my goal with The Pony Island was to create a horse learning space that felt:
• welcoming
• creative
• educational
• visually engaging
• and approachable for kids and families

The illustrations, games, courses, printables, and overall experience were all designed to work together as one connected world of horse learning.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported the project so far, and thankful to American Horse Publications for this recognition.
