I've got a thing for cups. The right glass can can level up your libation. And I love the social interactions around getting a drink... whether it's just a cup of coffee or a girl's night, we come together around sharing a drink.

This piece is currently in my kitchen, but maybe it would look better in yours? It's 12x24" on wood and finished with a clear varnish to protect it from splatters. Get in touch if you're interested 😉 .

She feels like a person who would rather be out in the woods exploring than sitting for a portrait. Swinging from branches, throwing stones in the creek, and tramping around with her best friend, who is a dog of course.

What should her name be? Alice? Sophia? Elizabeth?
