Artist, Illustrator, & Wedding Stationery Designer
Haley is an artist, illustrator, and wedding stationery designer based in New Haven, Connecticut and Greensboro, North Carolina. Specializing in watercolors and inks, she uses her swift, happy style to create all of her pieces. Her work is sought after by brands, companies, and private clients to create custom, one of a kind pieces.
She received her B.A. in Anthropology and French from the University of Vermont, and her M.A. in Archaeology from Yale University. Her Master’s work, “Presenting the Ancient Andes: Archaeological Illustration in Ecuador and Peru” received high praise and attention for her unique take on re-imagining and presenting the ancient past through watercolor. During her time at Yale, she illustrated for prominent archaeological publications and gave two lectured talks at Yale: “Archaeological Artistry in the Andes: Illustrations from Ecuador and Peru”, and “Art, Entrepreneurship, and the Empowered Female Form”. See her collections of travel and archaeological illustration here. Haley is currently an instructor for the Yale Peabody Museum’s Natural Science Illustration Program.
Haley takes the most pride in her wide array of watercolor commissions and custom wedding stationery suites for her clients around the world. She has designed wedding stationery suites for weddings across the United States, Canada, England, France, and Italy. She is currently working on a collection of 2025-2026 boutique weddings in Connecticut, Maine, and NYC. Dedicating weeks to each stationery component, she ensures every suite reflects her client’s spirit and enthusiasm for their event.
Haley’s favorite project includes her ongoing collection titled “The Ladies” (2017-present). Her watercolor pieces mirror her love for an authentic, unabashed spirit.
