I wanted to share this new painting with you! For this original mixed media painting, I tried out a new crackled glaze before putting on the top coat of decoupage to give this piece a real vintage look, full of beauty and mystery. Her wings are all glitter too! An homage to stepping forward with grace.

She is available in my art shop!

GIRL WITH WINGS- Original Mixed Media Painting on Canvas (10X10 inches)
This painting is created from acrylics, colored pencils, pastels, glitter, modern and vintage papers, and artist pens. The girl’s face is drawn and then painted using lots of materials for a beautiful mixed media effect. Her wings and the top of her dress are all glitter that truly sparkles in the sunlight.

Business For Creatives + Overcoming My Shyness

I used to be afraid to raise my hand in class. I’d learned that my ways of thinking and seeing were different from everyone else. When I shared an idea, I was often laughed at or told it was impossible. So I learned to stay quiet and be shy. When I was in the third grade we had an art project where we were supposed...

Painting Owls + Finding Your Artistic Voice

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

Letting Go + Developing Your Unique Style

Everyone always asks how I developed my artistic style. I have to say, style was nothing I intentionally developed. It was just the thing that happened when I painted every day. Most often I can look at a finished painting and see that it perfectly reflects who I am in that moment… all of the quirkiness and emotion I sometimes wish I could hide. But... Continue reading

My inspirations can come from something as small as a walk... Continue reading
