I am so excited to announce that I will be hosting a ‘Girl Crush Art Workshop and Tea Party’ in my studio along with the lovely lady behind the amazing blog The Jealous Curator.   The idea for these workshops came out of a post she did for sfgirlbybay here and a  ‘post about how fun […]

This time of year I become a bit scarce around here.  I am working away in my studio to get portraits completed for holiday gifts and planning our own holiday.  Also, I have quite a few new prints and such to add to my etsy store and plan to have some of that done Friday […]

Here’s a little peek into my studio right now.  I am currently:

listening to music on  this docking station I just stole from our bedroom (notice the self portrait my son recently did in which he looks to be angry, but is actually the happiest person I’ve ever met)

Ah, Friday.  I picked my husband up at the airport this morning.  He’s been in Asia for the past few weeks, so this weekend we will be adjusting to having him back around (what my friend calls ‘re-entry’)!  Oh, we will also be burrying our beloved ‘fishy’ who died a few days ago.  He was […]

Ok, so I am a bit late to the party here, but I am just in love with Bon Iver.  It has been the soundtrack to my day lately, so beautiful…

I was reminded recently by a pin on pinterest how much I love Lindsey Adelman’s light fixtures.  I especially love that she gives instructions on her website on how to make your own.  Thinking this sconce might work nicely in my studio…

I spotted this on pinterest the other day and instantly decided this project was in my future.  Lotta Jansdotter took some plain white tea cups and drew on them using porcelain pens.  I see a summer activity in the future for the kids and I.

Somewhere back in the chaos of the last month we took a family vacation to Hawaii.   These are a few of my favorite photos.  I purchased a digital underwater camera this time instead of the disposable ones I usually use, mainly for the freedom to shoot a ton of photos.  I love the results!

is a good thing.  We had a wonderful few days up on the mountain and now it looks like the snow might be following us back down into the valley.

I spent a little time last night working on some details for my daughter’s upcoming birthday party.  I’ll give you one guess what we will be doing.  I am now sort of obsessed with this image and can’t wait for a little time to explore it in a painting. I will no doubt share some […]

I recently came across this drawing my son had done of a horse.  I love it!  I had planned on framing it up but then I got an idea.  I wanted to see it large and BOLD, so I took a huge canvas I had and replicated his drawing in paint.  I tried to stay […]
