I know I’m creatively stuck when I’ve painted over something again and again and start to get frustrated. This is usually because I’m attached to what I think my art should look like rather than letting what I need to paint come out. This happens a lot with eyes. I’ll have a specific expression or mood in mind that I want to create, and I... Continue reading

Lately I’ve been working on a new series of paintings that are taking me in a completely new direction. I am exploring more portraits and more specifically characters you might find in fairy tales. This series of paintings started as a continuation of my Flower Girl series, but soon these paintings filled with ethereal layers and primary colors that just remind me of seeing the...

In every painting there are so many layers and mistakes underneath the finished piece. Sometimes I hate just showing you the final painting because there are always so many layers. I wish I could share all of the false starts and mistakes too. So often I get to a point where I’ve repainted a face five times, so I give up. I let it go.... Continue reading
Whenever I need a little bliss, I paint in my sketchbook. It helps me to let go and feel free. The weather has been so beautiful here in Wisconsin (and still warm), so I’ve been able to get outside with my sketchbook and favorite art supplies — oil paintsticks, watercolors, pastels, pencil and pen. I usually start with a loose layer of watercolors – scribbling... Continue reading

I am thrilled to finally share my new coloring book with you! One of my favorite things to do is to create art with others. I always find it takes the serious-ness out of painting, so I automatically feel more free. And coloring together, is really the perfect thing. A lot of people have been using these pages for art journaling too… which is something I... Continue reading

The new “Flower Girl” Collection has just been released – original paintings inspired by the intensely blue skies of autumn, but also, as I continued this series, I saw more and more that each piece is also deeply infused by my love of nature and the calm I feel whenever I go outside, lay in the sunshine or plant flowers in my garden. There are... Continue reading
