Hear My Story. 9×12″ on bristol paper. Click here to see the originals available in my shop. ………. Sometimes I get to a point where all of the characters I’m painting feel the same.

Mystic. 11 x 14″ on canvas. (SOLD). See More Original Paintings Here. ……… I almost painted over this piece. I just couldn’t get rid of that circle on her face, so I thought I’d cover it all with papers and start again. But I stopped myself. I looked into her eyes and she hit my heart. I was reminded to let my imperfections be revealed. Continue reading
BE STRONG WITH WONDER. 11 x 14″ on canvas (SOLD). This painting is one of the projects in my Whimsical Animals – A Mini Course. ……….

Untitled. 9×12″ ~ Inks, acrylics, oils, pencil, pen on bristol paper. ……. Lately I’ve been inspired to let go and do what comes easily. I was getting a bit bored with my flower patterned backgrounds, so I started to turn them into circles, which intuitively became my characters’ hair. I will add layers and layers to the backgrounds to get rich colors. Sometimes I’ll have... Continue reading

Seeing The Light. 9×12 on canvas. (Sold) Click here to see original paintings available in my shop. ……….
