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.

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.

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.

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...
