Lately, I’ve been into painting character’s with closed eyes.
It always adds an element of peace and dreaming.
For this girl, I had so much fun layering tissue papers, oil paint sticks and acrylics.
But it wasn’t until I really let loose with a giant, black india ink splatter that she fell into place.
Splattering paint, especially black ink, always reminds me to be bold and have fun while I paint. And it allows for some pretty amazing, beautiful mistakes.

All of her layers, led me to finding her story and title…
With all of her heart, she embodies light, knowing the possibilities that arise in SENDING STRENGTH.

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
