I’ve been able to sneak a few quick trips to the coast with Brantley and our cutie golden retriever, Rosie, as I’ve worked on my next marsh collection. I find my best inspiration at the marsh!

One Sunday we took the boat out and beached it on a sandbar at low tide. Rosie had the best time running around and wadding in the tidal pools! Meanwhile, I was like a little kid on Christmas morning, exploring every inch of the sandbar and surrounding marsh!

I found a gorgeous conch shell with a hint of blue, long abandoned and buried in the sand.

Back in the studio with all of the inspiration I needed — including my new seashell, art notebook and a copy of Where the Crawdads Sing — I let my imagination run wild with this new collection!

You’ll find soothing waters, wide open skies, lots of foliage and swaying marsh grasses. The colors from my conch shell sneak in with lots of other delicious neutrals!

The collection will release with Liza Pruitt on Wednesday, October 21, so stay tuned for more details in the weeks to come!
