The Sketch Book

Well this is the last day of being pregnant. I figured I'd celebrate the occasion with a genuine old school blog post in the style of diary blogging from years gone by, like the aging internet dinosaur/embarassing mom that I now am. I'm not promoting anything or selling anything or linking to brands and no click throughs will send pennies my way for writing this. I just thought I'd check in on this most auspicious occasion... And also because my mom asked me to please write a blog post because she "checks my blog every day and I haven't posted anything in a year"... a mother's...

Bonjour mes amis! I invite you to feast your eyes upon the Frenchness that was the 2016  White House Correspondents' Weekend Brunch.  I painted the artwork which graced the save the date, formal invitation, and various elements of party decor - all of which were produced by talented stationer, Kelly of Winifred Paper. And then On May 1st, I had the supremely fun job of attending the event, as artist in residence, where I set up shop with my easel and paints to capture the scene as the party unfolded... If you're not a DC native or Political Junkie, you may not...

Meet the newlyweds, Ginny and Willie! This happy couple recently said "I do" on a hot summer day at the gorgeous Village Chapel in Pinehurst, NC.  Drawing inspiration from surrounding Pinehurst, Ginny and Willie worked with Inslee to create a whimsical botanical suite. The couple dreamt of summer whites with subtle hits of pale pinks and forest greens to match the surroundings of their venue.  Inslee started with the blooms, crafting an organic bouquet of dogwoods, blush berries, untoothed leaves, and of course, pinecones!   Inslee then digitally arranged each blossom and branch to create a unique botanical envelope liner! The bouquet sat perfectly on...

Meet the newlyweds, Kathryn and Ryan! To combine their love of waterfront views and green gardens, the pair decided to hold their wedding at the Inn at Perry Cabin at Belmond in St. Michaels, Maryland! Their wedding was then chosen to represent Maryland in The Knot's 50 States of Weddings.  Drawing inspiration from the Inn's perfectly manicured gardens, Kathryn and Ryan worked with their planner to incorporate custom botanical and garden designs in the ceremony and reception decor. The couple dreamt of a subtle yet sophisticated romance, a picture-perfect venue with a soft and organic palette of blush pink, ivory and peach. As a fan...
