“With Buckets of Love” was born from my mother’s signature sign-off, her way of sending care into the world, and from the lifelong inspiration I’ve found in nature and the sea.

My original watercolor art celebrates the quiet beauty found in the natural world, delicate leaves caught in shifting light, birds perched in moments of stillness, the gentle movement of petals, branches, and shorelines. I love watercolor for how closely it resembles nature: flowing, spontaneous, translucent, and full of quiet beauty.

Nature reminds us to slow down, breathe, and stay connected to the world around us. We hope that each painting brings a sense of peace, wonder, and calm connection to you. If my work finds its way into your home, may it offer a small moment of nature’s serenity each time you see it.

A number of my framed pieces often feature sea glass that I’ve collected from shorelines around the globe, each fragment a tiny story shaped by the ocean’s rhythm. Many of these pieces take on a whimsical, playful spirit, evoking imaginative scenes of childhood, and that invite a smile.

The rhythm of the ocean is in part, what taught me to paint, to notice beauty, and to protect what I love. After joining a beach cleanup and witnessing firsthand the impact of plastic pollution, I felt called to give back to the waters that have given me so much. That’s why 10% of my net profits are donated to support theoceancleanup.com. When you bring a piece of my art into your home, you’re not only supporting a small creative business, but you’re also helping make a difference.

Thank you, truly, and with buckets of love.
