Salty INKs

Salty Inks, my digital creations, are inspired by all of my favorite places on the Outer Banks.I've been visiting the OBX since I was a child, and I some of my favorite memories are camping in Buxton, falling asleep to the sweeping lighthouse light, and waking up with anticipation of an Apple Ugly from the Orange Blossom Bakery in the heart of Hatteras. During my college years, I’d spend my summers working here, and now I’ve been living on the beach full-time with my husband and children for 13 years. Still, I’m constantly invigorated by our ever-changing, ever-beautiful landscape and community. It’s my hope that through my digital prints, I’m able to capture some of that beauty, and give people a tangible piece of our stunning scenery to always carry with them.

Latest logo creation

Very excited to share my latest logo creation! These 2 clients have decided to take on a new venture after seven years of a successful local business. Drumbeat is a family-friendly inshore fishing charter located here on the Outer Banks. They wanted a clean, simple, and unique logo that would be legible from afar. Such a fun collaboration and I really love the way it all came together.

Happy New Year... a few weeks late!

I have been on a little hiatus due to getting arthroscopic hip surgery last month. After binge-watching Downton Abbey, Stranger Things, Goliath, The AO, Shameless, This is us, and playing old school Mario Brothers on NES I am back to work! Currently, the Botticelli exhibit is keeping me busy. The exhibits will be taking place: 2.11- 4.5 Muscarelle Museum of Art Williamsburg, Virginia 4.18-7.9 Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts

nos·tal·gia

A little #tbt the first time I ever used a computer was this in my 3rd grade classroom taught by Ms. Boyd. Random fact: I remember she loved Billy Ocean and Lionel Richie music. She was a great teacher for me coming into a public school for the first time. One of our weekly assignments was to do a little programming by guiding the progress of a 'turtle' which moves around a graphics screen … anyone remember that? Just making basic shapes... those shapes had an impact on me. Since there was only one computer in the classroom, all of us kids would be eagerly waiting to jump on once it was their turn.

A night at the museum

A night at the museum...The Muscarelle Museum of Art to be exact! So this was a pretty big night for me, featuring 3 exhibits that I have been working on for the MMA the last few months. I created all three logos for these exhibits; Light Works, Hiroshiges 53 Stations of the Tokiado road, and Norman Rockwell and the Boy Scouts. Along with the logo design I helped market them, from creating the books, color schemes, posters, banners, publication ads, invitations etc. I have to pinch myself in these moments, its so amazing to see everything in person (not on my computer screen!) It really is an honor to create graphics for these amazing artist that were created centuries ago. I will be posting on my portfolio page soon if you want to hop on over and take a look!

Williamsburg Harvest Celebration

I go the opportunity to create the logo, website, and market the event for The Williamsburg Harvest Celebration. It is a collaborative effort with the City of Williamsburg, James City Country and York County overseen by the Greater Williamsburg Chamber & Tourism Alliance. The goal was to create a EAT+DRINK+LEARN vibe for the event. The colors chosen where rustic with a modern flare that also incorporated a farmer to plate feel. Chefs, Farmers, Artisans, Foragers, Authors, Brewers, Winemakers and Culinary Historians. Through food we all come together to create our community. Its proceeds will benefit Meals on Wheels, Southern Foodways Alliance, FISH and the VA Fresh Food Fund. It is a great event they takes place annually in November.
