I paint portraits and abstracts, and make sketches of cute characters.
I use mostly watercolor, acrylic and pencil.
I am also a graphic designer, so I am well-versed in layout, printing and file set-up which comes in pretty handy. I've been working in one creative field or another for all of my adult life (which means almost 3 decades!), so I've got abundant experience and healthy perspective on my side.
- I never miss a deadline, and love repeat clients!
- I work with brands and manufacturers to create fun, whimsical products.
- I work with individual customers to create watercolor mementos, and timeless art keepsakes.
1) I like to bake over-the-top birthday cakes for my kids, and I continually tweak my chocolate chip cookie recipe trying to make it the stuff of childhood legend!
2) I like to problem-solve & dream up DIY projects, then make them a reality.
3) I like to make paintings & embroideries on fabric and turn them into special clothes and toys for my little girl. She's developing a real love of arts & crafts and I'm here for it! I'd do it for my boys, but they currently have no interest in things they can't eat - so I make them cake pops instead.
4) I like to PLAN. A. PARTY! I love making every detail suit the party person to an absolute T! No sleep around here on party eve!
In the past few decades, I've had a custom wedding gown studio, worked in graphic design, painted hundreds of portraits of people, pets, houses, weddings...... I've collaborated with awesome clients on logos, branding & labels. I've licensed my art for all sorts of products from housewares, to phone cases, to puzzles. I've also written, photographed, and illustrated a good many art instructional books, and taught online classes that encourage creativity.
It's definitely a lot going on. But I don't know if I'll ever narrow things down. Because it just makes me too happy to always feel that the sky's the limit.
