The big picture :)

Antiquing.

When an artist gets in shape.

Keep your heart ajar.

Art for the cause. #handsoffwashington

I’d best be careful telling people I paint houses.

The pursuit is happiness.

Nothing much. Longing for summer.

What the sun does

Art moooooooves us

There’s a thought

From the ground up

Love things that make me look twice.

WHAT AILS YOU Showcasing my art in a healthcare setting. Just what the doctor ordered!

Be the light

Travels give way to art :)

This just in: music is an art supply.

Patterns are my playground

What can art do for you?

About last night..

I took this with my phone.

Oh the possibilities

LONG BEFORE Bucket Lists were in fashion, I dreamed of landing a painting of mine on nationally distributed home decor. Thanks to my friend and outstanding licensing agent Alicia Dauber, the contract for this spiffy area rug came about in 2013. And you say I’m a doormat like that’s a bad thing.

Itty bitty bouquets.

BELLA DONNA. Yes, I painted this acrylic marvel in (1990)college. The assignment in my History of Illustration course was to depict an icon in the art technique that was hip during their era of fame. Sweet glittering highlights! Donna Summer worked hard for the money, right up until the last dance.

BEN & INK creatively speaking, my first love was ink on paper. Childhood felt pens wielded a more impactful punch than #2 pencils which were and are still a huge yawn for me. Something about the ink pen that has to go down with moxie and be willing to fail.

Hanging out @cafemambo

You know it’s bad when humpbacks start vaping.

Love the retro font! (& I'm not normally a fan of stereo types.)
