For me, this is where it all begins.  I’ve always had a love of painting and creating beautiful, if not quirky imagery.  Sometimes an image will pop into my head and I know I have to bring it to life, or I’ll see someone that I instantly want to paint.  A whimsical painting in a timeless space cultivates a new world of imagery that translates to my patterns, illustrations and products.

“Your work is just phenomenal.  We are both so glad we went with the chalk instead of the oil painting.  I don’t know what it is about the chalk other than the fact that you are so good with it.  Jeff and I talked about it and we think it adds something to the skin of the person?  As humans our skin has hair and marks on it, etc. Your use of the chalk seems to capture that quality of the persons skin and gives it a texture we just don’t see in paintings.  You really captured the essence of our granddaughter”

Cynthia & Jeff

“Wow!  We love the Arctic Empress.  The colors, the creatures and the movement in the dress are beautiful.  Thank you so much!”

Sharon

“Your work is amazing, just received from Park West. 2 of the 3 I purchased! They are even more amazing in person. Thank you so much!”
