Along with some daily ideas and brainstorms, I use my blog to archive my work as an artist and get feedback from visitors.
I post art pieces in progress, upcoming events and whatever else I dream up.
Hey all,
I’ve had several people complain that my site has too many sold items and not enough pieces available. I’m working on it! It’s tough to keep everything updated. I’m thinking I may change the site to have just two galleries, one for pieces sold and one for pieces available. Thoughts?
I’ve had several folks ask whether or not the work on my site is updated. I’m embarrassed to say, it is woefully out of date! I plan to work on it in the next few weeks. I promise I will let you all know when info is a bit more current! Thanks for being patient!
Though it is incredibly challenging, I’ve again decided to do one painting each day for a full month. This month my goal is to work specifically on composition. Color comes very easily to me, composition, however, is a terrible struggle. Hopefully this project will help me with those skills.
Also, unlike last time I did a painting-a-day, this time I plan on doing each piece on the same size canvas, 11”x14” with a gallery wrapped thickness of 2 3/8”. (This how far the canvas stands off the wall.) This thickness is the highest quality canvas and looks excellent hanging on a wall.
Each painting will be priced at $150, whether the piece takes two hours or six! Shipping is available.
Wish me luck!
I recently had an amazing opportunity to model some wildly cool art necklaces for my all-time favorite magazine American Craft. A huge shout-out goes to my dear friend and Senior Editor of the magazine, Julie K. Hanus, who suggested me upon hearing they wanted a pale-skinned gal for the shots.

I was honored to be the featured artist in Rachelle Kuehl’s (an art teacher in Virginia) art class. The kids all worked to re-create one of my pieces. I cannot tell you how humbled and delighted I am with their pieces!
The piece the kids worked from is called “Yellow Horse” and was inspired by some time I spent in Tucson, AZ. Click through the gallery below to see their impressive re-creations!
