Holiday Stroll Sources
We hope everyone had a wonderful time at the Holiday Stroll last weekend! We know it was cold and we want to thank everyone who participated! A very big thank you and shout out to our local Chamber of Commerce and all the volunteers who devoted endless hours to this event. It gets bigger and better every year, thanks to you and all of your hard work and efforts!
And I’m sure everyone would love to get to know our artists a little better and find out how to reach out for future projects! How blessed are we to have soooo many talented friends, all of whom add such flare and color to our lives…
Elizabeth Ricketson, oil paintings
Liz is a great friend of ours from Vermont. She is an amazing oil painter (speaking of, did you catch our IGTV - what a fun story, if you didn’t get a chance to check it out, you can view it below!)

Trisha Shaw, watercolors
Trisha is an illustrator by trade and she creates beautiful watercolors. One of her many gifts?! Trisha can create a watercolor of your home.

Jan Murray, photography

Sau-Mei Leung, Chinese brushstroke and watercolor
Mei is a good friend and a RISD classmate. Mei is such a bright light, she brings positive energy wherever she goes. Mei has a PHD in bio/chem and works in multiple mediums, including watercolor and Chinese brushstroke, what a slacker. Our Holiday stroll visitors were charmed by Mei! She welcomed everyone who entered the studio and handcrafted holiday ornaments for all of our visitors! Each ornament was customized with Chinese brushstroke characters, spreading positive messages such as love, believe, longevity, dream…thank you Mei! You can view more of Mei’s work on her RISD portfolio!
Mei lit up our studio with her sunny personality, thank you Mei!
A sweet little visitor charmed by Mei!
We would also like to thank all the local businesses who helped us look our best for the event. Shout out to Mike Rottas of Isabella’s Daisies LLC, Weston Nurseries and Sunnyside Gardens. Mike took care of all of our outside decor, check out his great work below, see the Bees for Mike’s contact info! Weston Nurseries and Sunnyside helped us make our interiors shine, thank you!
