In celebration of my friend Cheri Leavy's (Guide2Athens, The Southern Coterie, and Bulldawg Illustrated) new office location, I will be bringing some of my artwork to Appointments at Five on Friday, April 19th for an all day pop up party!

Hosted by Jenny Sligh and Kitty Culpepper, you can expect to find my vibrant floral paintings, handbags and accessories by Leigh Ann Barnes and UGA licensed original Hammeez Teez by Hamilton Culpepper. Plus, UGA Senior Becca Gemes will also be there strumming tunes on the lawn during happy hour while I live paint/ show you how I paints a mural (on a smaller scale of course!)

Hope to see you there!
