My artistic journey began in a loose illustrative style and I am thrilled to be able to bring it back to life in a new and reimagined way. The simple designs that I sketched and watercolored at my dining room table have remained close to my heart through the years. Not long after graduating from Baylor, I worked for an architecture + design firm in Ft. Worth, Texas. It was there that I became fascinated with the “sketch.” Watching my bosses effortlessly create images that bring ideas to life made me want to pursue my version of it. I soaked up all the techniques they shared. I fell in love with Rapidograph pens, Pentel sign pens, crud paper and Chart Pak markers for starters. To this day I have a plentiful supply of each at my fingertips. Having always had my eye on a low-key life, I branded my first business, My Flip Flopz Laid Back Stationery. Why? Because I always wanted a job where I could wear…my flip flops.
