Shop Local Art this holiday season
Looking for one-of-a-kind gifts that spread holiday cheer AND support local talent? Here are a few of my favorite local artists! I've met all of these artists and artisans over the last 3 months during events and art fairs, and I think their work is fabulous. From handmade treasures to stunning artwork, there’s something here for all the art lovers on your list.
Brittany @eleveight.ceramics
Brittany creates beautiful ceramic pieces, and I love her modern glazes. I'm obsessed with this vase, AND her adorable tic-tac-toe game! My daughter adores this and spent the rest of the day carrying her “magic beans” around in a little container. Total win. Check out her insta for her other offerings. Bonus: Need a mini mug for your elf-on-the-shelf shenanigans? She's got you covered! ;)
(Are you an interior designer? She photographs spaces as well! Just FYI!)
Shop Brittany's Collection.
Chancey @yeschanceymadethis
Affordable and vibrant, Chancey's fun pieces are ideal for brightening up any space. I am the proud owner of a Chancey original and am over the moon happy about it. Oh and just FYI, she accepts commissions!

Robyn's paintings are ethereal and poetic. She currently has some gorgeous giftable small pieces that are beautifully float framed. Gorgeous, sophisticated, muted and serene.

Ginger Leigh @gingerleighdesigns
Ginger describes herself as a wanderloving soul creating mixed media art along the way. She creates beautiful abstract & faith based art. If I had a wall for her large orange bowl painting, it would've been hanging in my kitchen yesterday. Ginger is fabulous.

Artful Things Niceville
If you haven't been to this shop you absolutely have to stop in. A local art supply (kids stuff too!) and frame store, with art on every wall and the studio artists (Charlotte Arnold, Carol Ann Cain, and Joan Langham) are just wonderful. Going to this little shop is always the highlight of my day. You can pick up art supply gifts, beautiful local art, custom frame work or sign up for classes. The owner, Share, is so friendly and so happy to help, and the studio artists are engaging and you can watch them work and they're always happy to answer questions. Check it out when considering your Christmas list this year!
