Lately I have been playing with all sorts of new art supplies and colors. When I first started painting again, I used lots of untraditional supplies like glitter and crayons. So I am going back to lots of those fun and playful supplies and adding them to my current favorites like oil paintsticks, paint pens, neons and acrylics to create a whole new look. And,...

Lately I’ve been conscious of taking a step back from a painting, before I overwork it. There have been too many times, where I look back at my in progress photos and wish I would’ve left the painting loose and more free.

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...
