Lately I’ve been going back to painting owls. For awhile I had been creating these very renaissance-style portraits with soft, realistic faces and incredible hair. I enjoyed that I could make them look very human, but still full of magic and color. While I still adore creating these flower girls, I found that these paintings were missing something. After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading
I used to be afraid to stand out. When I was in first grade the teacher tried to teach our class about proportions by dividing us into groups, based on certain characteristics. For me, it was easy when she lined up everyone who was wearing blue on one side, red on the other, and neither blue nor red in the middle. No problem. But what... Continue reading
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,...

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.

Whenever I try and paint something new it pushes me in new directions. Documenting my painting process in photos from start to finish has helped me be kinder to myself and understand my creative process. I so often assume that I can just sit down and paint what’s in my head or that I can paint the same way I did when I last left... Continue reading

Photo by the coffee ride. Click here to order the Whimsical Animals Coloring Book. ………… I’m spending some time at the beach, so I’ve been inspired to paint and color in vibrant gold, coral and lavender hues (they remind me of sunsets). I’ve been trying to do new things too… like dancing on the beach. There’s a beach preserve close to where I’m staying and... Continue reading
