On Saturday, I live sketched at Marissa Collections Naples during their Easter affair! My custom fashion illustrations complemented customer’s purchases and outfits from the event. Thank you Marissa for having me again!
Valentine's Day in Palm Beach with Marissa Collections
I spent Valentine’s Day this past February in Palm Beach with Marissa Collections, live sketching at their annual Galentine’s Day party. This was my second time sketching at one of Marissa’s fashionable in-store events, but my first time visiting their location on the other coast of Florida! Thank you Marissa for having me again. I am looking forward to being back at their Naples store doing custom illustrations for Easter this Saturday, April 19th!
Molly X Eventful Designs
It's wedding season and I'm partnering up with Eventful Designs to create paper goods including invitations, save the dates, signage, and more with custom artwork for all of your celebratory events. You can book with me today here!
Proper Placements for Dana Rebecca Designs
Last night, I hand-painted notebooks at Dana Rebecca Designs’ flagship dinner celebrating International Women’s Day with members of the YPO. The customized notebooks were set on each guest’s seat, complementing the tablescape and florals. These hand-painted notebooks added a personal, one-of-a-kind touch for attendees to takeaway from the event. It is always a pleasure collaborating with the DRD team, be on the lookout for more of my artwork placements with this jewelry line!
Olive Oil Labels & Branding for Patina!
I am thrilled to have helped design the label and branding for Patina Collections’ new line of Olive Oil. Straight from Tuscany—now available at their Naples and Chicago stores!
Painting the Town Pink with Marissa Collections
Painting the town pink with Marissa Collections! I so greatly enjoyed partnering with one of my all-time favorite boutiques in Florida last week. I had a great time sketching and painting their wonderful fashions live in-store, and even left a few pieces of art to remain on display! Members of the YPO, as well as designers Peter Cohen and Leigh Maxwell were all present at the event, making for a wonderful afternoon. I want to extend a special thank you to Third Street South for also supporting this event. If you missed me and my fashion illustrations this time around, I’ll be popping-up again next at Marissa’s Palm Beach location in February - more details to follow!
Bringing my Talents South with Patina
I am taking my talents South for the winter! I hosted a holiday pop-up and live sketch event with Patina Collection at their Naples location in December. It is always a pleasure doing events with Patina, and I am so excited to share that I now have limited art prints available for sale at their store! Be sure to check them out, just off of Third Street South on 12th Avenue and get your art prints before they’re gone.
I am also thrilled to announce two more upcoming collaborations with Patina. I am designing the branding for their new Olive Oil line, launching in early February, and we will be partnering up again for the Chicago Old Town Art Fair in June! Stay tuned for more details coming soon - can’t wait to share more with you!
Snuck My Paintbrushes into Veronica Beard
I snuck my paintbrushes into the Veronica Beard store during their Dana Rebecca trunk show last week! I sketched guests, including members of the Lyon Family Foundation board, as they shopped VB holiday styles and DRD jewels. My art complimented their purchases, gifts for either themselves or loved ones! Thanks to Veronica Beard for having me. I am so excited for more events with VB in the new year!
Paint, Sip & Shop at Batik
I am thrilled to have lead my first Paint & Sip class at Batik Chicago. I helped launch this Chicago-based women’s clothing, accessory & home decor store alongside my good friend and store owner Katie in 2022, and was their head of marketing for almost 2 years. It was great to be back with the team and a full circle moment being able to bring my art to the shop!
I provided hands-on watercolor instruction of two sketches that I completed prior to the event. Teaching my tips and tricks was a new kind of experience for me, and something I hope to host more of in the future!
Piaget's Grand Opening in Chicago
Lost track of time having the best night celebrating the opening of the newest Piaget boutique in Chicago! I had so much fun live sketching the fashionable crowd and showcasing my custom works for the iconic luxury jewelry line, including sketches of their new storefront and a few of their gorgeous jewelry and watch pieces.
Huge thank you to the entire Piaget team, Burdeens Jewelry, and the Waldorf Astoria Chicago for having me as a part of this incredible evening.
Look Out for My Art at Luxbar!
Team aperol or team espresso? Look out for my art on Luxbar’s signature postcards, which are given to each table with the check, and send your favorite cocktail anywhere in the world!
Art & Aperitivo
Last week, I was back sketching with Patina Collections at their Chicago store’s first ‘Aperitivo Night’! At the event, I sketched clients as they sipped on Aperol Spritz and shopped Patina’s incredible selection of curated antiques and home decor. My cocktail sketch, along with a few other special pieces, can still be seen displayed and available for purchase at their beautiful Wells Street store! If you missed it, I’m looking forward to another fabulous event with Patina at their Naples location this holiday season.

Patina Collections and I partnered up for the Old Town Art Fair this past weekend! It was such a fun afternoon sketching outfits and antiques, during one of my favorite Chicago summer events!
Stay tuned for more upcoming projects with Patina later this month 👀
May Commissions
Two recent May commissions! The first is a sweet sketch from my client’s granddaughter’s first holy communion. The other was inspired by a past Met Gala that I painted leading fashion’s biggest night at the beginning of the month - can you guess which year’s theme and whose look?
Sketching with IHG Hotels & Resorts
Had a successful evening sketching with IHG Hotels & Resorts at their summer soirée last night! Thank you IHG Hotels & Resorts and HMR Designs for having me.

Fall Fashion: Oversized Sweaters + Leggings
Oversized sweaters + leggings = my fall and winter uniform. This combination is not only comfortable, it can be very chic if styled correctly. I usually prefer to wear it with boots or sneakers. Over the knee boots dress up this outfit or fashion sneakers make for a casual, effortless look. Add accessories like a fedora and/or chunky eyeglasses to really elevate your style. Check out my favorite pieces & ways to wear this look below. Happy fall!
