Some little mini paintings

I just finished this series of "Confident Women". You can find them available in my etsy shop.

New work in my shop

I've been buried in snow the last several days. Highly unusual for the Pacific Northwest. I think we might have gotten about 2 ft of snow. Wow! Anyway,,, I was able to finish my "Confident Women" series last night. They are in my shop now.

A fun day with friends creating art

I really enjoy making art with friends. They inspire you in ways that you can't anticipate. This is a piece I created in a journal that I am re-doing. When I start a project I never really know what the end result will be. I start painting and let the magic happen. This piece has lots of collage elements peeking out.

A busy day in the studio

I have been busy working in my studio the last couple of days. I am really enjoying all my collage bits. I am using what I have on hand from past projects. The cnavas will be in my etsy shop soon. Thank you for stopping by.

Some girls have hearts...

...and some boys have buttons. I'm just sayin.....

Journal, Lobby, Dobby, and Lou

This is the cover of my latest journal. The painting is fondly called Lobby, Dobby and Lou. If you can see the little characters on the right hand side,,,,they are images from "Stuffed Magazine". I created those little guys out of old sweaters. My article on Lobby Dobby and Lou was in the second issue of "Stuffed". This journal is all 140lb watercolor paper with lots of fun inserts in side.

Mermaid and a friend

I created her on 140 lb watercolor paper. Created with acrylic, pit pen, and watercolor. Measures 9 x 12. Suitable for a standard frame. Available for purchase.

New work now available

I finally finished my "Best friends forever" series. They are 8 x 10 and are on gallery wrapped canvas. I tend to create in themes. A lot of my characters wear bunny slippers. A fond memory of my childhood. In this series, I have been thinking a lot about hairstyles and girls who wear bangs. Have you noticed, most women are NOT wearing bangs now....hmmmm..... I love bangs! With that said,,,I just started to grow mine out.

Work in progress

I'm not sure where this one is going but it's fun to see how it develops!

Some more journal pages

These paintings are created in a small Moleskine journal that I have. It measures approx 3 x 5. It will be the second one of this size that I have worked in. I am inspired by painting small right now. I'll be creating some more of my work on canvas in the very near future.
