  • Birds of a Feather Flock Together

    I like how the idea of the phrase, “Birds of a Feather Flock Together,” dating back to the 15oo’s can be connected to weddings today. Weddings are a celebration that brings together two flocks of people for a beautiful celebration and forever joining connection.

    I also love how wispy, surreal, and light-hearted feathers are as design elements. I can’t help but think about the fanciful feather from “Forrest Gump.” Actually, my husband’s aunt worked on the special effects of the feather in that movie, which is pretty cool!

  • Inspired by Wood textures

    Along the wilderness wedding theme, here is a painting I did of the beautiful textures on the side of a wooden cabin. I love all of the different idiosyncrasies in each plank and how beautiful the wood gets as it ages. I love the knots in the wood that are exposed and the imperfect little cracks.
