  • June Packing List: Trek through Thailand by Wanderlust Designer

    On Location: June Packing List – Trekking through Thailand and Free June 2017 Wallpaper

    Although monsoon season is just beginning in Thailand in June, it is still the perfect time to visit. The weather isn’t too stifling hot, and with an umbrella in hand and somewhat light crowds, you will be able to trek through Thailand and see amazing sites. From the sparkling Wat Arun along the mighty Chao Phraya river, to Wat Phra Kaew in the Grand Palace with the 66cm tall Emerald Buddha carved from jade, there is a bounty of sacred sites to explore in urban Bangkok. When you are ready to head to the wilderness, hop on a plane north to Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai for plenty of incredible treks through…

  • March Packing List: Scenic Tour of Ireland by Wanderlust Designer

    On Location: March Packing List – Scenic Tour of Ireland and Free March 2017 Wallpaper

    March is here, and I’ve been aching to take a trip to Ireland. Yes, I’m sure St. Patrick’s Day has something to do with it, but I also have a huge desire to take a road trip around the country and explore the wild seashore, stay in old castles, wander small villages, and of course drink a tasty stout in Dublin. In dreaming of this trip, I thought it would be fun to come up with an appropriate Spring packing list. There’s still a bite in the air, but nothing a cozy warm Irish sweater won’t take care of. Also, be sure to bring a brightly colored umbrella to ward off any…

  • February Packing List: Romantic Getaway - Paris, France by Wanderlust Designer

    On Location: Dream Trips – Romantic Getaway Paris, France and Free February 2017 Wallpaper

    Although we know, Paris is always a good idea, I think in these long winter months, it is even more than a good idea, it is a must do! Even with cold weather, and the high chance of grey skies, a romantic getaway in February is a great way to get rid of any winter funk. Before kids, my husband and I would alternate years in coming up with a surprise February weekend getaway. Unfortunately, we could only get away for the weekend, but we still managed some very memorable escapes. The surprise weekend away where I needed a passport was of course one that I will never forget! I have yet to visit Paris in…

  • January Packing List: Hit the Slopes - Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia by Wanderlust Designer

    On Location: Dream Trips – January Hit the Slopes: Whistler Blackcomb, British Columbia and Free Calendar Wallpaper

    January is the perfect time to hit the slopes and Whistler Blackcomb in beautiful British Columbia, Canada is one of the best places to go! Not only is it the largest ski resort in North America, with slopes for all abilities and ages, it was also home to the 2010 Winter Olympics making it a world class resort for much more than just skiing. I was able to snowboard there many years ago for an adventuresome long weekend.  We flew from San Francisco to Vancouver, and spent the night enjoying this world class city filled with urban attractions and surrounded by incredible nature. The next day, we drove the scenic Sea to…

I am so proud of all the puzzles I’ve created in I am so proud of all the puzzles I’ve created in the last few years for the fabulous @truesouthpuzzle - I’m realizing I haven’t shared nearly enough of all the fun details that go into creating each of these illustrations. Before I even start illustration I spend many many hours researching the topic. My puzzle designs have taken me to tiny, cool places such as Fancy Gap, Virginia and St Catherine’s Island, Georgia. I’ve researched a crazy number of US landmarks such as the Corn Palace in South Dakota and the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo Texas. I’ve even discovered one of Alaskans’ favorite drinks is a duck fart. I’m currently wrapping up the design of my 12th (!!) puzzle and can’t wait for the reveal. So stay tuned for many more details and be sure to head to @truesouthpuzzle to pick up one of my designs! #puzzles #puzzleillustrator #illustrator #research #fancygap #cadillacranch #duckfart #cornpalace #stcatherinesisland

Happy 2021 everyone!!!! Here’s a little illustra Happy 2021 everyone!!!! Here’s a little illustrated selfie of me doing what I love. I’ve been doing lots of reflection this past week - I’m ready to shed some of that excess anxiousness (hello, pandemic!?!) that has been consuming too much of my time and get back to doing what I love- teaching art , sharing stories, and creating connections. If 2020 taught me anything it’s that friendships (whether in person or virtual) really are everything!  #illustratedselfie #newyear #goals #friendship #illustrator #artistlife #meettheartist
