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 lovely brands and manufacturers to create fun, whimsical products.
- I work with thoughtful individuals to create watercolor mementos, and timeless art keepsakes.
Please reach out to chat or collaborate anytime! It'll absolutely MAKE my day!
Now, for human interest, and because my creative brain never shuts off, I'll add the following:
1) I like to bake over-the-top birthday cakes for my boys, and I'll obsessively/continually tweak my chocolate chip cookie recipe til it's the stuff of dang childhood legend! (this is to compensate for my really crummy cooking)
2) I like to problem-solve & dream up random DIY projects, then sketch furiously on legal pads to figure out the best way to bring them to life. And even though I have an impressive collection of my own tools, my husband helps "enthusiastically" because I really like having a partner in crime.
3) I like to make paintings & embroideries on fabric and turn them into magical clothes and toys for my little girl. She's developing a real love of arts & crafts and I'm here for it!
4) I like to PLAN. A. PARTY! ~ like, a LOT. 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 a kajillion portraits of people, pets, houses, weddings...... I've collaborated with awesome local businesses 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 big old pile of books that teach about art, and taught classes online to 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.
