One afternoon a couple of years ago, I was hanging out in a brewery during an art event working on a piece when I notice a young boy, around seven or eight, hanging off to the side watching me work. I invited him to come closer to observe and he asked a few questions about…

Throwback Thursday: Claudia
Today I’m going deep into the archives for a piece that I did over twenty years ago. It’s actually really cool to look back and this piece ties directly to someone who I’ve found incredibly inspirational even though I will probably have the pleasure of meeting them in person. This piece was a project for…
40 Days of Inspiriation: Origins
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.

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…
Throwback Thursday: The work that started it all
A common question I get from people who view my work whether its here in the studio or at an art festival is…
“What inspired you to add strips of paper to paintings?”
Lessons Learned
Last week, a commission I had been working on fell through. The client and I had been going back and forth for quite a while, and when it came to showing them the completed work, they were still not happy. Rather than continue going back and forth we decided to bring the project to an…
