News — Coastal Living

Lately, I seem to be going through SO much blue and indigo colored paint. Pretty much every time I go to work on something I quickly realize that I have to order a few new tubes of my favorite blue hues. I don’t know what it is about those blues and indigos right now, but I just can’t get enough of them in my work! Thankfully, one of my latest ideas worked perfectly with a simple blue and white aesthetic. Thank goodness! For the last few months, I’ve had this idea to do something inspired by a fusion of Mediterranean...

Much of my latest work has been theme-focused, whether that be llamas, coastal cottage or seashells. But I recently had this hankering to circle back and begin exploring abstract designs again – something I haven’t really done fully since college! Though I had this idea for a few months, it took a bit of time to develop into a comprehensive vision for a new collection. I, obviously, love the ocean (hence the name Jetty and focus on beach inspired art!). So I knew that I had to do some ocean-inspired abstracts. There is something so intangible and mysterious about the...

Lately, I’ve been painting a large majority of my work in watercolors. While watercolors are so amazing and create some pretty cool effects, I was definitely missing my acrylics. I just knew that I had to do a new collection of paintings that were only in acrylics. And that was the beginning of my inspiration for my newest collection of what I like to call “Palm Beach Chic” bright tropical paintings. There’s something about seashells that completely enamors me. I could literally stare at them for hours and hours. I’ve wanted to do a set of paintings for a while...

This is probably my absolute most favorite times of the year. Spring means gorgeous flowers, beautiful weather and, of course, Mother’s Day. I was trying to figure out what to do as a freebie this month and, suddenly, it came to me – a pretty printable card for mom! I love the simplicity of this card, which features some basic hand lettering (overlaid in a burlap texture I’m pretty much obsessed with) and a new take on my black and white palm leaf prints.  Simply print either the JPEG version or PDF and enjoy! This prints at 8.5x11" and can...

March means one thing – summer is just around the corner! Whether you’re still braving the cold winter or are beginning to bask in the sunshine of springtime, you’re probably ready to add some beach vibes into your life right about now. This month’s freebie – wallpaper for your phone, tablet and computer – is inspired by our every-popular whale print series. All of the whales have been painted by hand, scanned and digitized. These wallpapers are an easy (and free!) way for you to enjoy their beauty each and every day.  Download for phone Download for computer/desktop Download for...
