Today I am joined by Mattie Brown! Mattie is a New Orleans based, floral artist known for her delicate, coastal-inspired designs rooted in her childhood summers in Cape Cod and New England. She studied Interior Design at LSU and worked professionally in the design industry before her painting hobby grew into a thriving business. What began with canvas commissions for family and friends and painted champagne bottles eventually led her to transition into full-time art, a path she’s now been on for three and a half years.Today her work ranges from hand-painted perfume bottles to live wedding paintings, and she has created custom pieces for Simone Biles and Michael Bublé, along with collaborations with brands like Batiste and events like The Masters. She is currently expanding back into canvas work, carrying forward the soft, nostalgic, floral aesthetic she’s become known for.

In this episode, Mattie and I chat about how she made her art business her full-time job, how she chooses what to focus on next, her journey from painting champagne bottles to perfume bottles, what is next for her, and so much more!
