The kind folks over at Lulu Art in Australia recently asked me to do a little interview. I answered lots of the questions I get asked most often about my favorite art supplies, inspirations and more…
What are your favourite products to use?
I especially love acrylic inks and oil paint sticks. The inks are great for creating calm areas in a painting, adding a sheer solid pop of color over all of my other layers of texture, marks and paint. I use the oil paint sticks whenever I want to add an opaque but textured area of calm to my paintings. I love the creaminess in contrast to my acrylics, inks, pencil, paint pens and papers.
Do you have any tips or inspiring words to share?
I try and remember to always have fun with whatever I’m creating. If I think too much about the end result or painting what’s in my head or trying to paint like someone else, I either freeze or paint something lifeless. I also try to make it easy for myself to create every day by keeping a few favorite supplies and my sketchbook out, ready to go at all times. And I always push myself in new directions by recognizing what I am drawn to in my every day. In that way, I continue to develop my style in a way that is unique to me… and fun.
Read the full interview here. I hope you enjoy it!

I’m always looking for new art supplies to try. What are your favorite art supplies these days?
Even sometimes the most unconventional things like printed napkins or wrapping paper turn out to be my favorites. I’d love to know what supplies you’re liking these days and will be sure to look for your recommendations in the comments of this post.
And, if you know someone who has been looking to reignite their creative spark and might want to read this post, feel free to share it with them (you can use the share buttons below).
Thank you, as always, for all of your love and support! Happy painting!

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
