A Beautiful Day at Sands Point Preserve

Sands Point Preserve creates the perfect setting with open lawns, wooded paths, and scenic views that already feel storybook inspired.

The weather is expected to be cool and dry, which makes it ideal for spending the day outdoors. A light jacket or sweater will keep you comfortable as you explore.

It is shaping up to be an enchanting day out for the whole family.

What I Will Be Bringing

If you are planning to visit the vendor market, I will be there with a collection of my latest handmade pieces. Each one is created with texture, detail, and inspiration drawn from nature and fantasy themes.

Mixed Media Fantasy Art

I will have a selection of one of a kind mixed media art pieces featuring layered textures, metallic finishes, and intricate designs.

These pieces bring character into a space and work beautifully in creative spaces, reading corners, or anywhere you want something visually interesting.

Each piece is made to feel unique and personal.
