I must say, I am literally overwhelmed! I have been holding back on sharing this, but now I can finally say it... I have been spotlighted in VoyageATL Magazine!!!
This is so exciting for me because it marks the beginning of me sharing me full story! I had added a few snapshots, but you've got to read all of it. Please take a few moments to READ MY INTERVIEW and leave a comment on the page!

Look what I found! This little series is one of my absolute favorite's, and I gave the collection a very enderaing and a rather personal title. (Fun fact: I't's my sister's and I) These are not currently for sale, but I still wanted to share them with you. Go to the contact page and send me a message letting me know what you think of these ladies and guess which one represents me.
I'm excited to hear your thoughts!

I added these in december 24, but since I hadn't been keeping up here, I thought i should let you all know. Now I know it's not beanie season, but in some places, beanies are a year 'round staple!

Justifying The Day: Mother's Day without Mom
J.T.D.
A place for women to acknowledge the experience of Mother's Day, when your mother is no longer here on earth. A place to share stories about mothers, memories both good and bad, but a place to celebrate the strength and exuberant resilience available through Christ.

Registration begins Wednesday April 16 2024

Prepare ta' be sickAme! 🤣 I have been so gleefully awaiting posting these with this song!
I'm SO excited to finally have these far along enough to share them.
A labor of love, soon headed to New York 🗽
🤗💜💜💜
I tool a poll and let the people name these boots. Since I'm making these post after-the-fact i will put the chosen names here with the "story" of each boot's "owner." *All stories and boot owner name are completely fictional.
Sophia "Sofi" Delgado has always lived on the edge of two worlds—one foot in the artistic world and the other in the rugged outdoors. A painter and photographer, Sofi finds inspiration in nature, often capturing the beauty of the open plains at sunset. Her boots, with their pink and gold hues, represent her unique blend of femininity and strength. The fringes sway with the wind as she walks the earth she loves, while the pointed overlays reflect the sharp focus and vision she applies to her artwork. Sofi's boots were a gift from her grandmother, a well-known cowgirl in the '60s who taught her to embrace both the freedom of the west and the creative spirit of a true artist. With these boots, Sofi continues to blend her bohemian spirit with her cowboy heritage, and her artwork is a testament to the beauty she sees in the world around her.

Wyatt "Wyo" Lawson runs a well-known boutique ranch in Wyoming, where he’s not only revered for his skills in ranching but also for his leadership and community spirit. While he spends most of his time overseeing his cattle and land, he is also a well-respected philanthropist who hosts events to raise funds for rural community projects. His gray lambskin and turquoise crocodile cowboy boots with sienna-colored suede fringes were custom-made for him as a gift during a charity event he attended, symbolizing the perfect blend of rustic charm and elegant taste. The boots are his signature accessory at every event, from casual dinner parties to the fundraising galas where he’s the guest of honor. The turquoise crocodile design captures his love for the unique, while the gray learher represents the resilience of life on the ranch. The sienna-colored fringes add a touch of elegant flair, reflecting his ability to blend old-world cowboy charm with his sophisticated, entrepreneurial lifestyle. His boots are a conversation starter, reflecting his role as a leader and a man who appreciates both the simple life and the finer things.
Brianna "Bree" Hayes always felt the call of the open road. After years of working in a corporate office, Bree decided to leave her 9-to-5 behind and follow her true passion for exploring the rugged beauty of the American West. She became a full-time travel blogger, sharing her experiences, breathtaking photographs, and insider tips on everything from hidden cowboy towns to the best hiking trails in the Rockies. Bree’s burgundy, pink, and tan leather boots have been with her through it all—on horseback rides, desert treks, and quiet mornings in small mountain cabins. The rounded abstract overlays on her boots reflect her free-spirited approach to life and her ability to find beauty in the unexpected. Bree’s blog has become a go-to source for adventure seekers and lovers of the western lifestyle, and her boots are a symbol of her journey—a journey that blends travel, storytelling, and a love for the wild, untamed west.
Sheriff Cole "Red" Mitchell, never planned on becoming the sheriff of a small, quiet mountain town in Colorado. He had always imagined a life as a detective in a big city, working on high-profile cases and tackling crime in an urban setting. But after a personal tragedy, Red left behind the fast-paced world of city life, seeking peace and solitude in a small, secluded town. He never expected the local sheriff to retire so abruptly, or for the town to ask him to step in. Despite his reservations, Red reluctantly agreed to take on the role, figuring it would give him a chance to heal while still serving the community.
After accepting the position, Red realized that he needed more than just a badge and a gun—he needed to truly embrace his new life. One afternoon, while strolling through town, he walked into a local boot shop. The boots there weren’t just any cowboy boots—they were a part of the heritage of the community, a symbol of the ruggedness and strength required to protect the land. That day, Red chose to purchase a pair of steel-blue ostrich and brown cowhide hair boots, drawn to their toughness and unique design. The ostrich leather reflected his calm demeanor, while the cowhide hair connected him to the town’s traditions. The black leather strap that held the gold spurs in place reminded Red that this new life wasn’t something he could take lightly, and that he had a responsibility to the people who had placed their trust in him.
These days, Red wears those boots just about everywhere. During his daily patrols, to town meetings, and even when he’s simply walking main street, quietly observing the community he’s come to love. The spurs jingle softly with every step, a reminder that, despite his initial reluctance, Red has found purpose in this small town and is now fully committed to keeping the peace and protecting those who live there. The boots have become a part of him, just as his role as sheriff has, reminding him that sometimes life leads us down unexpected paths, and it's the way we walk them out that defines us.

Fun Fact: I purchased this green leather, inspired to create a piece that would express the aftermath of hurricane Helene, but then one day, I got THIS idea 💡
As it began to take form, just letting the leather be my guide, I felt the need to add one more wood bead, so I was obedient. Days later, the title was given to me, "Revelation 22:2." Look it up 🌳
Come see my art!
Reception:
Saturday, February 15, 2025
5:00-7:00pm
Better World Studios
125 Marshall Street
Graniteville, SC 29829
Fun Fact: Though most of my work is based on concepts and expressions or impressions that are personal to me, this piece was inspired by the work and mission of a story I recently heard another artist share...
"I became very enamored by the circle. This circle came from an experience when I was a child during segregation, where we visited my mother and sisters in Ohio. And my father loves root beer. We would drive to Kentucky, and we got chilled root beer in a glass. In the bottom of our glasses was a red circle, and that meant that was for Black people. You couldn't share any silverware or glassware with Whites. And that's what I think, when the circle really hit me, you know, that became something I wanted to undo in a way, or to express it in a way where the circle is beautiful and not used as a form of punishment, that you cannot drink from the same mug."
~ Howardena Pindell
As somewhat of a self-titled hippe, I coupled Howardena's words with the style of a piece by Alexandar Calder that I'd noticed in a photo @daynalovesart shared from one of her recent art excursions, and my, "Lys Cercle Rouge," was born, helping to change the narative!
FunFact: The beads I wear in my hair connect me to my art, or my art to me... just depends on the day. Yet every day, the beads in my hair connect me to myself, which is where I find my wealth in and of creativity.
This piece, titled "Tribal Mitigation, " tells a story also.

Ever evolving! I'm revamping again.
Growth results in constant movement, so as I grow, expect to see changes every-so-often. I truly appreciate the your understanding!
Through prayer and pulling on what comes naturally to me, I have naturally gained territory in the Motivational coaching field. This too is art.
So, I paint, I create multi-media art, I write, I have faith based merch, I create necklaces, I am a Fashion Designer and now I Coach!
God has gifted me in many areas, and I refuse to leave any of them to lie dormant. I WILL enjoy ALL of this life that I have been given!
My focus as a Motivational Coach is to align women with self-appreciation in order to usher them into their god-given purpose. Reach out if you'd like to talk.

Tonight was AMAZING!!!
THE 2nd Reception for the 3rd Annual Artist Of Color was a huge success. The artist that were present got an opportunity to speak briefly and that added a beautiful dynamic to the entire presentation. I hope to find clips along the way as I'm on social media so that i am reminded of this power this opportunity brought with it.
The exhibition will be in place through the end of February, so if you are anywhere nearby, PLEASE take some time to go enjoy the art!

Being an artist is very fulfilling! I discovered the @roco137 6×6 Project a few days ago and I'm very pleased to say that I was able to get a submission together in time to mail out in support of their efforts to keep art accessible... not quite how they've worded their mission, but it's literally one of the things they do ☺️ and this 6×6 Project is proof! 💜
1. Irie Iguana - him wan jam, him wan dance.
2. Panther Pon de Prowl - the Vines of the jungle hide him, but find the intensity in his exposed eye and sprawled whiskers to arrive beyond the window to his soul.
3. 8 Locks Under The Sea - 8 tentacles fling and give strength, as he moves with a royal grace that commands respect.
4. Coqui Calypso - as the steel drum is to calypso, so is the "ko-kee" of the Coqui. Both can make a heart dance.
