I am super excited to share with you these abalone shell creations. When I found the original bracelet in my mom’s jewelry box, I had no idea what I would turn it into, but I loved the way the shells sparkled with rainbows in the light. And so, these pendents were born!

Each pendant features a high quality print of one of my original mixed media paintings that I’ve circled with black charcoal for a beautiful mixed media effect and then covered with a water-based sealant to protect the print from the elements. I attached loops to where the elastic used to go through and hung each pendent from a 24 inch small ball chain for an element of urban elegance that looks fabulous with a simple white t-shirt or tank.

Courage (SOLD!), Moon Belly & Earth Mother pendents, now available in my Art Shop!

So pretty and inspired, Juliette! I love how the shells frame the art so dramatically without overpowering it.

That is so gorgeous!!! I think my favourite is the last one as the green in the print really compliments the green in the shell, gorgeous work!!

What I’ve Learned As A Full-Time Artist + Entrepreneur

A few years ago, I wrote a novel about a magical world. I was one of 14 writers accepted into a 6 week writing workshop on the east coast. And when I finished my novel, I flew out to Washington DC to meet with my ideal literary agent. But then I got super scared and burned out. Because of that burn-out, I needed to heal...

Business For Creatives + Overcoming My Shyness

When I shared an idea, I was often laughed at or told it was impossible. So I learned to stay quiet and be shy. When I was in the third grade we had an art project where we were supposed...

Painting Owls + Finding Your Artistic Voice

Lately I’ve been going back to painting owls. For awhile I had been creating these very renaissance-style portraits with soft, realistic faces and incredible hair. I enjoyed that I could make them look very human, but still full of magic and color. While I still adore creating these flower girls, I found that these paintings were missing something. After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading

Letting Go + Developing Your Unique Style

Everyone always asks how I developed my artistic style. I have to say, style was nothing I intentionally developed. It was just the thing that happened when I painted every day. Most often I can look at a finished painting and see that it perfectly reflects who I am in that moment… all of the quirkiness and emotion I sometimes wish I could hide. But... Continue reading

What Inspires You?

My inspirations can come from something as small as a walk... Continue reading
