Love what I do

I am loving painting him. With all of my heart. When I truly fall in love with a piece it manifests on the canvas. I’ve been on a roll with my writing as well. Not only am I writing my memoir, (which is in conjunction with my Fire Series) I also started a fiction novel, and a children’s book.

Before resin coat.  That will bring out the colors a bit more.  Japanese inspired piece.  The Miyazaki films are a great influence in my illustrations. I've also been studying Japanese modern art, tattoo, and film.

Work 3 in my Japanese inspired series (In PROGRESS)

Since I was a little girl, I have been enthralled by the Japanese culture.  Old and new it holds a place in my heart.  This third piece in my series takes a edgy surrealistic/animated edge to pay homage to the great country of Japan.  My girls and I have been die hard fans of the Miyazake fims, as well as more classic pieces.  I've been studying them with my girls, as well as Japanese art of tattoo.  I have a feeling this series could extend on for quite a few pieces.  It brings me joy.  I would love to visit Japan with my husband and girls in tow.   

Work in progress.  Elements I adore in Japanese culture, with my twist of course
