This lovely poem, by Ralph Waldo Emerson, brings to mind a flourishing garden. I decided to add bees, butterflies and a bird with abundant flowers to surround the words with life.

This piece was created to encourage and acknowledge how hard we all work and how essential the feeling is of being proud of what we achieve and how right is it to do that. Redbubble link to sticker

This poem is done in gouache with a pointed pen. It has such a lovely flow and beautiful sentiment.

A simple, heartfelt quote, this was a lovely commission. The client wanted a subtle floral border and agreed that lavender suited the words. To anyone who is embarrassed by your tears, read this quote and be reassured.

This watercolor of two leaves needed the perfect quote and I am delighted to have found it. This will be available to purchase as a print, coming soon!

Using illustration to help enhance the mood of the quotation helps add depth and creativity. 

This commission was for just the lyrics so I chose the Italic hand for the lettering, simple and elegant.

I love reading and creating fun bookmarks. Using existing quotes or one that you love, I will happily supply you with some future favorites. 

A simple sentiment but filled with joy. Watercolor and gold mica paint with green lettering.

A happy quote evoking everything from family to worship to Monty Python. Calligraphy in a circle is a fun way to add visual interest.

This commission was a wonderfully creative gift for a mom and wife by her husband and sons. I incorporated illustration of some of their adventures and moments that meant so much to them.

This commission was in honor of soldiers who had fallen that was gifted on Veteran’s Day. The logo is of the company (that I incorporated but is not my work) where his son had served with.
