Lately, I’ve been sticking to some of my favorite art supplies, but expanding my color palette. I’ve found I return again and again to shiva oil paint sticks, heavy body acrylics, water-soluble oil pastels by Portfolio, lokta papers and inks. I have a routine I am comfortable with whenever I create any painting… I grab my favorite art supplies and play until I cover up... Continue reading
With all of this cold and snow in Wisconsin, we’ve started our holiday traditions early… watching A Charlie Brown Christmas while decorating the tree. There’s just something so warming about sitting around the sparkling lights. It encourages me to slow down and be still. I thought I’d share all of this gratitude and bliss with you too with a 2 for 1 Sale… just in... Continue reading
You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. -C. S. Lewis ……….. My students continue to melt my heart with all of the artwork they create in my online classes.

“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” -A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh ………..

Not so much in the actual painting part, but in phases where I feel like I just can’t paint anything I really like. Usually I see things in my paint and layers and let my intuition guide me. But lately, I’m longing for something new. I’m trying all of... Continue reading

“What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the print I have read in my life.” -Walt Whitman ………… It has been such a gorgeous Fall here in Wisconsin.

I love to paint in the mornings. And, lately, I’ve been painting a lot of owls. It all started when I decided to create a new original owl painting for the cover of my new book :: Inspired By The Little Things. (You can purchase a signed copy for a limited time here). Of course it felt like way too much pressure to work on... Continue reading
Someone in my online class Facebook group recently asked how I get over the feeling that I will never be able to paint as well as I did before. The question promoted a lot of fabulous conversation. And I just couldn’t stop thinking about it. Comparing myself to my past work is something I struggle with ALL of the time. I’d say, pretty much with... Continue reading
