As this year comes to a close, I just want to say thank you. A small business truly is nothing without the support of amazing clients, and I’m endlessly grateful to every family who trusted me with their memories this year.

To every family who welcomed me in, trusted my vision, and chose to invest in meaningful artwork this year — thank you. Your support keeps my small business going, and I’m so grateful for each of you.

Wishing you a happy New Year’s Eve and a beautiful start to 2026 ✨

Childhood at the beach looks like this—wet hair, sandy toes, running full speed toward the water while sailboats drift by in the distance.
