Hey friends,

If you caught my studio vlog on instagram or facebook, you know it’s been one of those head-down, creative weeks where I have about five different projects spread across my desk at once. There are so many exciting new things taking shape right now that I wanted to sit down and share the full story behind them with you.

Let’s dive into what’s happening in the studio this week!

1. A First Look at the New Nursery Collection (Starting with Whales 🐋)

For a long time now, you guys have been encouraging me to create a dedicated Nursery Collection—and it’s finally happening!

If you remember our Doe & Fawn piece from a while back, that painting was deeply personal to me, inspired by the relationship and bond I share with my son. I’ve wanted to bring that same quiet tenderness into a broader series for little ones' rooms, but with a peaceful, artistic touch.

I’ve always been drawn to the ocean. Part of it comes from my love for scuba diving and seeing marine life up close, but mostly, it’s just the overwhelming sense of peace the water evokes in me. So, it felt only right to launch our Coastal Theme first!

The piece above is still a work in progress, and the entire coastal collection will take me roughly 60 hours to complete -- so we're looking at a fall 2026 launch. Capturing that fierce, gentle mama-and-baby bond in wildlife has been such a joy, and I can't wait for you to see the finished piece!

This new nursery line will be broken down into three distinct themes. Each theme will follow the exact same structure: three fine art pieces paired with coordinating wallpaper.

2. A New Studio Perk: The $125+ Exclusive Print Gift (pictured above!) 🎁

Over on the shop side, we officially launched a brand-new perk on July 21st that I am so excited about! Every order over $125 automatically receives a free exclusive print added to their package -- this print will never ever be sold in stores or on our website.

Here’s the fun part: we are going to rotate this exclusive piece out every two months. My goal is to make these special gifts something you can collect over time to build a cohesive gallery set.

The piece launching this first two-month cycle comes from a 4-part series I absolutely loved creating. It carries a calm, peaceful, love-filled vibe that feels like a little breath of fresh air when you open your package. If you’ve been eyeing a few prints on your wishlist, now is the perfect time to bring them home and snag this exclusive piece before it rotates out!

3. What We’re Building: The Free Gallery Wall Guide 🖼️

If you’ve ever bought a set of state prints or loved a collection of art but felt completely paralyzed when it came time to actually hang them on your wall, you are not alone.

One of the biggest struggles I hear from our community is how to transition from loving an art print to actually creating a wall layout that feels simple and cohesive. 

To solve that, I’m currently building a massive, premium Gallery Wall Guide. It will be 100% free and packed with:

  • Templates: Scale-accurate layout formulas for 2, 3, 4, or multi-state arrangements over sofas, console tables, etc.

  • Design & Color Rules: Easy tricks to make your space feels intentional and rooted in your life story.

  • Framing Cheat Sheets: Simple guides on mats, frame finishes, and spacing.

I’m working hard to get this guide finished so stay tuned—it’s going to make styling our prints so much easier!

4. New Notecard Designs & Inspiration ✍️

Last but certainly not least, I’m wrapping up some work on our newest batch of notecard designs today. Keep your eyes on the shop and the blog over the next few days as we share the story behind each design!

Thank you for being here!
