New Beginnings. 11 x 14″ on Canvas. More originals available here. ……… This was one of those paintings that took SO many layers. I nearly painted over this piece so many times. And I almost completely covered it up once I called it finished. This painting bothered me. It made me uncomfortable. It made me feel like I had so much more to express, and... Continue reading
Tell Me Your Dreams. 9×12″ on paper. (SOLD). More original paintings available in my shop. ……….. Here is a look at the August Project in my Serendipity 2 online class. This is one of my flower girl paintings. I started this series with inspirations of floral patterned backgrounds and those patterns soon inspired the girls’s hair.

Bring Out The Light. 9×12″ on Paper. (SOLD). More originals available here. ………. Sometimes it just takes a new supply to inspire a painting and push my creativity in different directions. I had stopped by a friend’s house for tea, and I could not help but ask to take home one of her bird printed napkins. I am always on the look out for new... Continue reading
Dream A Little Dream. 9 x 12″ on Canvas. (SOLD). More originals available here. …… This was one of those paintings where I adored the background so much, I did not want to cover it up. But I am never attached to a painting until I add my character. Without a character, it seems, I eventually paint over the mixed media abstract again and again.... Continue reading
I started my upcoming picture book with a short story and a few paintings. Then I created a storyboard (something I learned to do in another lifetime as a website developer). The storyboard helped me figure out the layout for the book. But things always look completely different in your head. When my husband Brian finished the digital layout (using InDesign), my heart sunk. It... Continue reading

Lately I’ve been sitting and painting in my sketchbook. I have been working on pieces for my upcoming storybook. There is something so calming and simple about sitting down with just a few art supplies and paper. It doesn’t take a lot of time. And when I started this new painting series, I had no idea where it would lead me. I just knew, that... Continue reading
It Is Going To Be Okay. 9×12″ on Paper. More Originals Available Here. This painting started with one of my floral patterned backgrounds. For this piece, I really played with inks and acrylics. I was having so much fun repeating my colors and patterns, that the initial flowers turned into rainbow circles. Those circles inspired this girl’s hair and helped her evolve from start to...

LOVE is one of my favorite painting projects from my BLISS online class. I learned so much with this painting. Mainly, that it’s okay for things to be easy. I so often overwork my paintings, thinking I need so many layers to achieve depth. But LOVE is mostly created with watercolors and in very few layers. For this painting, I played with most of my...
