Meaning Behind the Art: Introducing the Hidden Meanings & City Stories Collections

This year, I’ve been lucky enough to see some truly beautiful places: London, Paris, Seattle, and even Alaska. Each one left a lasting impression in color, pattern, and feeling. London, especially, completely surprised me. I fell in love with the city in a way I never expected, and I honestly can’t wait to go back.

Those travels, and the emotions tied to them, became the heart of my newest art releases, the Hidden Meanings Collection and the City Stories Collection.

Both were born from the same idea that art feels most special when it holds a story. I love creating pieces that are beautiful to everyone who sees them, but carry something personal for the person who owns them. Maybe it’s a secret phrase layered into the artwork or a tiny symbol that reminds you of somewhere you’ve been. It’s like an inside story between you and your walls, a small detail that makes you smile every time you see it.

The Hidden Meanings Collection celebrates those quiet, personal reminders. Phrases like Feel the Joy and Here and Now are layered into patterns and color stories that feel playful yet meaningful, pieces that make you pause and appreciate the little moments that matter.

The City Stories Collection draws directly from my travels. It’s a mix of small icons inspired by the places that captured my heart, from a teacup that nods to London to a croissant for Paris. These are tiny love letters to the places and moments that make life richer, meant to bring a bit of that spirit into your home.

Together, these collections tell a story of connection, to places, to memories, and to yourself. They’re beautiful on the surface, but even more special when you know the meaning behind them.

If you love art that feels personal, thoughtful, and a little bit like a secret, I can’t wait for you to explore the new pieces inside the Give Beautifully Gift Shop.
