Dream Shadows...

I've been doing "shadows" for awhile, but the inspiration always came from fashion magazines. I've started a new series called "dream shadows" that are all from my imagination. This group is my "Imaginary Friend" series...

"Devilish"



Face it girls, life is more fun when you are a little bad!

An odd sort of painting...


I saw this at a funeral home when I was unfortunately attending my great aunt's funeral. I thought it was an odd sort of painting for a funeral home, but I still liked it. The little girl has such a look of longing as she perches backwards in her chair, facing away from whatever she should have been doing. The posture and the half hidden face makes her seem detached. The entire piece looks ghostly. I wish I had her hanging up in my house.

Tiny ring sculptures...



I am completely obsessed with making these rings! They are so fun and colorful, and I never have a real plan for how they are going to turn out. I just start pinching and sculpting and painting! They are my favorite things to make right now!

These pretty little rings are lovingly hand sculpted using paperclay then painted with watercolors. I used sepia toned ink to draw the line details, then the entire sculpture is double coated in a water resistant sealant. It is securely attached to a white gold plated adjustable ring.

Each tiny ring sculpture is truly a one of a kind work of art.

Mere, Mingle, and Manifest abstract watercolor paintings




These are 3 of my newest watercolor paintings. I love the bright colors and the organic shapes. Each is a limited edition of 20.

My favorite little monster...


I took these pictures to use on her birthday face cake. I was so sad when they didn't work on the cake, but the pictures turned out so cute! She just kept laughing and playing. I couldn't believe how well she cooperated!
