A couple of weeks ago, I arrived at a meeting in Columbus, Georgia a few minutes early. So, I pulled over and sketched this gorgeous historic church downtown. It’s the First Presbyterian Church of Columbus, and I admire its beauty every time I drive by to go the Chamber of Commerce.

I only had about 10 minutes to draw this and I added some paint later so it’s super simple, but it was a lot of fun!

This couple illustration was fun to create recently and she loved it. She was excited that I even included her tattoos.

The Braves are a part of the culture in Georgia and the spirit is especially contagious when the Braves are having an incredible season. So…. my husband suggested I make a watercolor featuring bits and pieces of Braves culture for all the fans out there.

Sketchbook journaling is one of my new favorite things. It really does help me to get out of my head and into a place of joy. It also helps me warm up to paint for my awesome clients like you!

I go through seasons of creativity and prolific art production. And then I have seasons where I am resting and feel depleted.

Recently I sketched a few of my favorite downtown Perry shops for the Dogwood Festival.

Sketching is so enjoyable. I can just freehand it, get lost in the fun of creating, and not have to worry about making everything perfect or include too many details. I have a handful left that you can purchase from our space in Lanier Hays Design in downtown Perry or from our online shop.

I love @bridalsbygilbert in downtown Perry. I started this sketch during the @perrydogwoodfestival and then I went to a conference, birthdays, Easter, life… and I finished it just a few days ago.

It just makes me happy. I hope it makes you happy too.

I stumbled upon the @wilddaisyfarm on Instgram, and had to sketch their lavender shack in my sketchbook.

I am obsessed with lavender and have been since I was a teenager. It is my favorite scent!

I cannot wait to go to this farm in real life and do some #travelsketching How beautiful!

Hey, Perry friends! You kept asking if you could buy my artwork around Perry and now you can!

Natalie Bradley Home is now also located inside Lanier Hays Design (at 925 Jernigan St., Perry, GA) along with A Gracious Plenty to make shopping a little easier for our local shoppers. As I create new local artwork, I’ll also have it available for sale there.

Thank you for a wonderful experience at the Perry Dogwood Festival!

When I was a wedding planner in Athens, I planned the majority of my weddings at the University of Georgia Chapel closely followed by Athens First United Methodist Church.

It’s a beautiful church and it has the longest aisle in Athens, so it was a dream location for many brides.

When I was a wedding planner in Athens, there were a handful of churches and venues that I knew like the back of my hand, they were so popular. The Athens Botanical Garden Day Chapel was one of those places. So painting it brought back all the familiar feelings of working and planning beautiful weddings in this special place.

Christ Church in Macon, Georgia, is the oldest in the historic city, and one of the most beautiful!

A few months ago, I was asked if I would license my painting of Perry Methodist Church to be included in a wedding invitation suite. The bride, Mary Margaret, had a clear vision of what she wanted, and it turned out beautifully!
