Bloom Wedding Welcome Sign
The Bloom wedding was an unforgettable project that allowed me to bring a personal and artistic touch to their special day. I hand-painted their elegant welcome sign, serving as the first impression for guests as they arrived. To add charm and clarity to the seating arrangements, I carefully hand-lettered the details on a smaller mirror, designed to catch guests’ attention and guide them effortlessly. Additionally, I created a custom illustrated bar sign that showcased their selection of fun and unique beverages, adding a playful yet cohesive element to the evening’s atmosphere.

3D Bouquet Holder
This project was inspired by a simple idea that turned into a creative endeavor. When my sisters and I set out to find a bouquet holder for the ‘build-your-own-bouquet’ party favors at her bridal shower, nothing on the market fit what we envisioned. Most options were generic, and I knew this moment deserved something special. So, I decided to create one myself…completely from scratch. Using only cardboard, painter’s tape, and plaster, I brought this idea to life through an inventive and hands-on process. You’ll find a collection of photos showcasing the journey of this project, along with a video link at the bottom that reveals the finished creation.

Proposal Chalkboard
This piece was created as part of a heartwarming wedding proposal, commissioned by an aspiring groom with a sentimental story to tell. He wanted the artwork to beautifully capture the essence of their first date, which was spent watching a re-run of the beloved classic, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Drawing inspiration from the iconic movie poster, I crafted a design that not only pays homage to the nostalgic visuals of the film but also weaves in elements that make the piece deeply personal and meaningful. To enhance the storytelling, I added playful typography and incorporated a film scroll, elegantly marking the special proposal date. The result is a visually engaging and emotionally rich artwork that reflects a timeless love story through the lens of a cinematic moment.

Illustrated Champagne Bottle
This custom champagne bottle illustration was a heartfelt gift for a bride-to-be. I hand-painted the couple’s beloved dog, proudly holding the ring box atop its head, surrounded by delicate white flowers that symbolize love and celebration. A unique and personal keepsake, blending whimsy and elegance, perfect for cherishing life’s special moments.
Paintings
These are a few of my past painting projects that showcase my exploration of different styles and inspirations. One of the featured pieces is a vibrant painting titled “Biggie” (2022), which was created as a thoughtful gift. For this artwork, I wanted to embrace bold, dynamic colors to honor and celebrate the iconic figure of Biggie Smalls, blending a sense of fun and energy with my love for expressive portraits. The vibrant palette captures both his charisma and the impact he left on music and culture, making this project both meaningful and memorable.
The second featured artwork, a nature-scene painting (2018), portrays the serene beauty of a weeping willow tree adorned with delicate pink blossoms. This piece was created on a spontaneous impulse, reflecting my appreciation for the harmony and tranquility found in nature. Through soft brushstrokes and subtle textures, I aimed to evoke a sense of calm and wonder, focusing on the peaceful allure of natural elements.
