Six months ago I was on the road visiting incredible picture frame shops 🚐
Next week we’ll be in the same room at the picture framing conference 🤓 (who’s going?!)
I shared unveilings along the way, but never shared all the unveilings at the end 🙈
Not because it didn’t matter — because it mattered too much. How do I possibly put into words the love I felt from each of you?!
These framers said yes to a stranger, a wild idea, to total creative freedom - they said yes to life!!
So here’s my redemption moment: all the unveilings 😻😻😻 Every one a winner — because there’s no wrong way to art 💫
Mind still blown every thymeeee I think of that summer 🫶 #forevergrateful
One of my earlier artworks, Rome at Night (10”×8”, oil on panel, 2018), just found a new home. 😀 I couldn’t believe how much a frame can change a painting’s look and feel. A good frame brings out the best in a painting. This ‘gold-ish’ frame from @cpphotosandframes complements the warm light in the painting and takes a small artwork to the next level.

Oh my goodness. I don’t know how Halloween goes in your city, but mah peeps here in San Francisco are all over this day. Just ask our resident Witch and Wizard at my local @cpphotosandframes (aka fondly called Cheap Petes). Got the royal Halloween treatment for sure! Thanks to Ellie the Witch and the Wizard for not freaking out and saying BOO to my little painting 😁🙌 #cheappetes #art #frames #sanfrancisco #botanicalart #oilpaintingsoncanvas #artshops #gearyboulevard #halloween #witch #wizard
I wanted to find a way to preserve our invitations — they were just too beautiful to tuck away in a box. So I turned them into framed wall art, complete with a little Wedding Date window and envelopes on the back to hold our vow books. 💌
I gave it to my husband as a wedding gift — a keepsake of our love, promises, and the day we said forever. 🤍
I used an 11x14 frame and layered matting from Cheap Pete’s frame store @cpphotosandframes . They are the best! Then I hot-glued envelopes to the back to hold our vow books. It’s one of my favorite framed pieces!

PROJECT COMPLETED | C’EST BEAU CHEZ TOI
French simplicity at its finest—sophisticated yet effortless, elegant yet lived-in.
This family asked us to transform their daughter’s room from kid to teenager, creating a space that would carry her through college. We built the foundation with clean lines and thoughtful built-ins, then gave her room to layer in her personal style.
Which is exactly what she did.

Celebrating ten years of working with this artist (and projects every single year, 8 of those 10 years).

Originally created during the pandemic, Hyde just did a touchup on the mural, redoing the sun. A few years with intense & constant direct UV rays on light pigments such as red, pink and orange can fade the color, even with a UV coating.
