Welcome! I’m Wesley and one of my greatest joys is exploring new places— especially appreciating art, connecting to local culture, and recharging in nature.

My travels are designed around beautiful things—I enjoy learning the stories behind their creation and placement. I’m always up for a museum, plant-forward restaurant, holistic spa, aerial yoga class, or forest bathing. Waterfall hikes are a favorite destination driver (despite a near death experience involving one in that fateful year of 2020…)

When not traveling well, I’m grateful to live a short walk away from the ocean in a quaint Florida beach community vacationers call “paradise.” My husband and I ride bikes to dinner, Tai Chi, the bookstore, and the sound bath studio. (Travis is the type who also thinks cycling 100 miles on a Saturday morning is fun. I do not.) Our friends and family nearby love dogs as much as we do, and our sweet senior poodles live a spoiled life drenched in sun, snuggles, wholesome food, and work from home love.

For over a decade I ran a lauded contemporary art gallery also within biking distance—a true dream job for an art history major—and I’m fortunate to still work with spectacular pictures, objects, and people now. Many moons ago I made my own art and I’ve recently picked up watercolors as a way to enjoy creativity more directly than through my artsy escapades. My curiosity runs deep and details are a specialty. (After 15 years together I think my husband may finally be used to all my questions!) I love creating magic for those I love, whether near or far, and some even call me a Fairy Godmother.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you see something that intrigues or inspires you!
