Sunshine

 Hello,

I have been busy working on my Summer collection, "MidSummer" coming out on the Solstice, Tuesday June 21, 2022. It's full of light and heat, which leads me to the obsession I have been having with the sky and sun's color story.  Take a peek at some of the side pieces.



You know how on an album sometimes (#CantLiveWithoutMusic) there is a bonus track, but it doesn't play until three minutes after you have heard the last song; well "MidSummer is going to have bonus piece. You are the first and only collectors to hear this Summer secret so stick around. The collection will be available for purchase direct from me through my Instagram. Be sure to follow along.

With a lot of encouragement and a rehearsal I have decided to teach a virtual class.

Say you are in a rut or you want to learn about abstract painting or you just want to have an art lesson. My class will be a fun brainstorming session. I hope to encourage you, teach some tips and get your creative fire started.


Be sure to tell everyone you know about my art. I'd be ever so grateful!

Thank you for reading my blog and and supporting me.

Painting people is not my strongest skill, but I have wanted to paint something with figures for a while and I wanted to also paint something floral. These two ideas came together to create this whimsical collection.

My side hustle with Alice's Table threw me into florals and I sponged up all the flower details. I have been with Alice's Table (we teach flower workshops) for a short time now, even though I do not have a lot of workshop experience. The idea of a woman made company spreading joy, confidence and beauty was something I was drawn to. Flowers make you happy and my hope is that these paintings do the same.
