For the Birds!

If you haven’t noticed, I paint a lot of birds.  In fact, so far this year, I’ve painted 26! That seems unbelieveable…even to me.

Why do I paint so many birds…it’s simply because no matter the season, people love them.  I also truly enjoy painting them and adding a little personality to each one I create.   
I’ve been [...]

Bright and Blooming!

I was thrilled to get an email from an avid quilter saying she loved my new crafting fabric at JoAnn’s  – so of course, I had to rush out and take a look! When licensing art, I do not necessarily know when products will land in stores…so when I find out, I love to stop [...]

Come Fly With Me...

Living near the beach in North Carolina, I can’t help but love anything…okay, EVERYTHING coastal related.  Seashells, sand, flip-flops, etc… One of my favorite “things” is just enjoying all of the beautiful, funny little shorebirds. They are an endless source of inspiration and always a favorite subject to paint.

Today I thought I would share some [...]

All Babies are Cute...

Sometimes those additional painting ideas come easily and sometimes they don’t…especially when under a tight deadline.   I was talking to my sister about this one collection that I needed to [...]
