Newest work...



Here is my newest mixed media. The joker representing the state of mind in America today. It seems like we are playing a game with our money in the government and soon it will be all play money. Who knows what is to come. What I do know is I am really enjoying this guy. I tried a new thing with this painting, I burnt some of the edges around the artwork underneath to create a dirty look. Let me know what you think!

Creating at least once a day...


Here is my kitty "Lucky"in my work space. This is my art studio where I can play with paint, chalks, embellishments, and anything else I think of. I want to let you know more work is coming and it will be VERY soon. Selling a painting tends to get you motivated to make more! Thanks for reading and check back soon, I have a new one to post here before I put it up for sale at my etsy store .

Finished 2 of my Paintings and Sold One!





Painting has been an amazing release for me. I forgot how theraputic it was! My son told me the other day (he is 20 years old) that the best memories he has of me from when he was little was coming home from school and seeing me sitting on the floor amongst all my paints and creating with music going. He told me he used to say in his head "That's my Mom!" How cute is that?!?!

Here are my finished paintings you have seen me begin on this blog and I am going to upload another I started in my next post and continue with this line of paintings. I absolutely LOVE them!

I had a few people wanting the lady in the tub and I finally sold it to one of the bidders. I am sad to say good-bye to it but proud to see it go out into the world where it can make its own way and influence people. After all, we make art to pass on our expressions and feelings.

The words hurt girl is up on sale now at my etsy art store and there is so much more to come so keep an eye out!!!!

adding even more depth...

Happy New Year everyone!!!!

I have added a few more elements to my bathtub lady collage. Can you see the water in the tub? Cool huh? I filled up my polymer clay tub with some diamond glaze. It dries clear so it should look like water when its all done. Also, I added bubble stickers around her as well as clay bubbles making it have a few more dimensions. I also added some molding paste to create the bathtub bottom. In the end I plan to add some very cool embellishments but you'll have to wait and see!


In the painting Zone

Any artist will tell you there is no better place to be than the ZONE. This weekend I worked all sorts of hours and it felt like no time at ...
