I can’t really start an extensive journey into inspiration without first going into the very first person to ever inspire me, and the event that precipitated everything. I lost my biological mother at a very young age; she was only 27 when she died, I was five. My mother struggled her entire life with bipolar…

Exploring Inspiration
This mask my very first piece of wearable quilled art, and since today is Fat Tuesday, or Mardi Gras, I felt that it was fitting to bring this little bit of experimental art back out. About seven years ago, my family and I took a road trip out to South Carolina over Thanksgiving Break with…
New Art: Unbroken
This piece is the third piece I’ve completed using a pallet knife and minimal paper quilling. I’m really enjoying the processe of painting with a pallet knife. It’s taken some adjustment in terms of skill and technique and I’m learning that I need to have a lot more patience with the process, but what is…
New Art: Quilled Wolf
Quilled Wolf, 18×24 Quilled Paper and Acrylics on Canvas I started this piece back in October of 2018. When I set out to create this wolf, I never thought it would take on such a long endeavor. From the moment my brush touched the canvas, it quickly became apparent that this piece was going to…
New Art: I Got My Eye On You
Prior to completing Wild Horses, at the beginning of the year I had a strong urge to start another piece. At the time, I currently had two pieces already in process, Wild Horses and a quilled wolf, and I hesitated to start yet another but the voice and vision in my head was too strong…
New Art: Wild Horses
Last week, I recently completed a piece that I began working on in June 2018. It was an ambitious project to be sure, the canvas was 60″ x 48″, or 5ft by 4ft, the majority of which I planned to fill with quills. My inspiration for the piece was a mural painted by Jackson Pollock…

Featured Art: Seductress
Continuing on with Featured Art is the second piece in my Three Sisters trilogy, Seductress. She’s a little willy and unpredictable, but also sweet and a lot of fun to have around. Of the three sisters, she’s the youngest, and the most prone to get into trouble. When I created these pieces, they were telling…
Featured Art: Enchantress
Enchantress was the first piece in my Three Sisters collection, a series of three portraits I created. For this piece, I played with a watercolor effect using acrylics and a limited color pallet. The hair has become a signature technique that I’ve used in a number of pieces. Enchantress holds a special place in my…
