Everywhere I Look, You are Left Behind. (9×12″ on bristol paper) ………. Sometimes a painting takes a few tries and what seem to be mistakes, before I finally find the character. This bear started out looking completely different. I’d been feeling like going back to one of my characters with feathers in her hair. Usually, when I have a character in mind, that is never...

“Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.” -Mary Oliver ……….. I LOVE trying out new art supplies. But I’m not one to spend a lot of money them. I really use them and break them. And, if they’re brushes, I forget to wash them. I’m also pretty picky about my colors. So I rarely buy a whole set of something. I know I... Continue reading
I recently sent out a questionnaire to see what you’d like to learn more about. The overwhelming response was that you wanted to learn more about How To Develop Your Own Style. When I first started painting my whimsical characters in 2009, I looked to other artists and picked out what I liked most in their paintings. I mixed those things up in my own... Continue reading

To create this piece, I started with layers of painted pages for my background. Then I added all sorts of collage papers, acrylic paints, and inks. I hope you enjoy... Continue reading

I’m settling into my life at the beach as I embark on a little creative sabbatical. I’ve been painting and writing like crazy… there is nothing that inspires me more than walking barefoot in the sand. I’ve been brainstorming lots and lots of ideas for new classes and books and more! And I could use your help to make sure that what I’m sharing in... Continue reading
Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it. -Julia Child ………. I love memoirs. Stories about people’s lives. Every day lives. Every day stories. I love that. It’s something I aspire to share in my own books. So I’ve been reading a ton of novels by women who have pursued their dreams. I picked up Julia Child’s My Life In France last... Continue reading
