Whenever I need a little bliss, I paint in my sketchbook.
It helps me to let go and feel free.
The weather has been so beautiful here in Wisconsin (and still warm), so I’ve been able to get outside with my sketchbook and favorite art supplies — oil paintsticks, watercolors, pastels, pencil and pen.
I usually start with a loose layer of watercolors – scribbling and dripping.
Once the white space is filled, then I start to pencil in my character’s eyes and features, adding more and more details as I go.
I finish off with a layer of oil paintstick to either cut out my character from the background or add a little softness to the face.

A few years ago, I wrote a novel about a magical world. I was one of 14 writers accepted into a 6 week writing workshop on the east coast. And when I finished my novel, I flew out to Washington DC to meet with my ideal literary agent. But then I got super scared and burned out. Because of that burn-out, I needed to heal...

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.

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
