Over the summer, I had the opportunity to visit Marissa Collection’s gorgeous new location on Nantucket and live sketch right in the heart of the island. I’d been counting down the days since my first trip last year - so returning for one of the biggest weekends of the season (Labor Day!) felt like the perfect full-circle moment.
One of the highlights was reconnecting with my “Ferry Godmother” - a new friend I met last summer on the ferry from Hyannis to ACK. We bonded immediately when I noticed her sketching on her iPad (artist radar always on). She’s well-known on the island for her fun comics that capture Nantucket life, and she kindly welcomed us to stay with her on famous Orange Street. I even did a little watercolor of her iconic front door!
It was the perfect close to a busy summer: connecting with locals, capturing summery style, and soaking up those final seaside moments. And the creativity didn’t stop there - I also kicked off a postcard collab with Cru, hopefully launching next season just like my Luxbar collection!
Until then, you can catch me in Naples with Marissa Collections as we officially enter snowbird season ✌️🌴
