Behind the Holiday Collection, Chapter 1
Discover The Virginia Holiday Collection: Chapter 1—a heartfelt celebration of home, heritage, and the beauty of Virginia. Inspired by nature, architecture, and the spirit of the season, this artful collection captures the warmth and wonder of coming home for the holidays.
This collection began quietly—in the stillness of long studio days and moments of reflection. I kept coming back to the idea of home—not just as a place, but as a feeling. The textures of Virginia’s landscapes, the soft light in old architecture, and the rhythm of changing seasons all became threads that wove together into this body of work.
As I revisited old sketchbooks, one theme kept resurfacing: Virginia. The familiar dogwood blooms, the gentle blues of the mountains, the way historic homes hold time in their walls—all of it felt deeply personal. These drawings became a way to reconnect with where I come from and to celebrate the quiet beauty that’s shaped my creative journey.
This season, I gave myself permission—to play, to explore, and to let nostalgia lead the way. The Virginia Holiday Collection reflects that freedom. It’s about the in-between spaces: where tradition meets imagination, and where art becomes a way to honor both past and present.
