Onward to DC!

It's my favorite time of art-ing... DELIVERY! Heading down to DC this weekend to give these pieces a home. Check back in the next few weeks to see the sister project that will be accompanying this artwork shortly.

Back in the Saddle Again

After a hectic March and April- putting up a show, pulling together an art opening, two weddings, and one mini family reunion- I AM BACK AT IT!

I love being hired for commissioned work. I love hearing from people what they want to see in their home, their office, what they want to give to their friends... and then I LOVE delivering on those wants. Once again, I'm working with my lovely DC couple- Scott & Rachel- and creating a line of work for their new home in our country's capital. Here is just a small sneak peek of a couple sketches for their "States" collection. While I find it difficult to stray too far from my beloved pen and ink medium, I am excited to bring in new materials (like maps, in the top photo) and push myself to let go of my simple ways- GASP!- and add in a bit more dimension this time. Stay tune as this project unfolds...

As always... Ink, Drink, and Be Merry!

Beating the Winter Blues

As the weather grows colder and the snow flurries play games on us, my plan to beat these Winter blues will be to shut myself in this weekend and enjoy a hint of Spring. Back to the studio I'll go to work on my most enjoyable project, Herb & Flower Studies.

Farewell to Spring

You too can escape this cold weather. Flower requests are now being accepted. Order for your friends, family, and (of course!) for yourself too. Email me now and put a little Spring in your snow-booting step today!

A Century Later...

A year ago I was asked to photograph Scott and Rachel's wedding... a beautiful celebration with an amazing family! So when they asked me back again this fall to document their grandmother's 100th birthday (that's right, 100!), I jumped at the opportunity to once again join in on the fun.

Happy birthday, Nana!

Way to go, girl.

East

My newest series, East, has just opened at Taza Coffeehouse in downtown Cincinnati. Inspired by John Steinbeck's masterpiece "East of Eden", this collection highlights both large turning points and small details from the novel.
