STONE HARBOR RECAP 🌊🎨☀️
Apparently having a much better-than-expected Ocean City show — with a few more wonderful surprises afterward — is a fantastic problem to have… until you realize: WAIT… WHAT AM I GOING TO PUT IN MY TENT FOR STONE HARBOR?! 😂
With family vacation already planned and Stone Harbor right around the corner, I had about FOUR DAYS to get creative.
Enter: two big blank canvases, some slightly unhinged 12–14 hour studio days, and the reference photos I took during my time in Stone Harbor earlier this summer.
I went back to those quiet beach mornings — the light, the water, my serenity now moments — and created two brand-new large originals that I absolutely LOVE.
Then it was LBI ➡️ Boston ➡️ home for approximately five minutes ➡️ STONE HARBOR. 😂
And what a weekend! After a soggy Friday setup, Saturday and Sunday were GORGEOUS. I met so many wonderful people, made great new connections and talked future commissions. Was it my biggest sales show? Nope. But that’s art shows — you never know what happens after the tent comes down! 🤞
A HUGE thank you to Suzanne Hunter for putting together such an incredible event. I have NEVER experienced this level of organization and volunteer help at a show. From her hilarious emails to finally meeting her in person, Suzanne was AWESOME. As a fellow artist, her dedication to creating something special for Stone Harbor truly showed.
And to every volunteer who helped us all weekend — THANK YOU! ❤️ You guys were amazing.
Thank you, Stone Harbor. 💙🌊
Now my paintbrush and I are taking a brief, mutually agreed-upon separation… although knowing me, “brief” could mean about 48 hours. 😂🎨
Next stop: Summit Art & Cars — September 20th! And who knows what might happen between now and then… 😉
