I’m excited to share something special for the holidays! For a limited time, I’m opening 5 spots for custom portrait paintings—the perfect heartfelt gift for a loved one, or a beautiful keepsake for yourself.
Through November 29, you can reserve an 11×14” mixed-media portrait (acrylic + paper) for $350 (regularly $500). Each piece is created by hand by me, on a gallery-wrapped canvas with 1.5” finished edges, so it’s ready to hang right out of the box or can easily be framed to suit your decor.
Your portrait can feature a person, a pet, or even an inspirational figure. Just follow the link to the special in my bio link tree, and upload the photo(s) you’d like me to work from on the product page before you hit ‘add to cart,’ and I’ll transform them into a truly unique piece of artwork—ready to ship in time for Christmas.

Are we fed up yet?
Mixed media paintings on watercolor paper, ‘Peace and Quite’ and ‘I’ve Got This.’
Both originals are available along with a few limited edition prints.

New limited edition prints have been added to my online shop! 5 new sets of 11x14” museum quality giclée prints with beautiful color of several of my newer mixed media paintings. They are very small editions and won’t last long, so be sure to grab yours right away.

‘Woke Up Like This,’ mixed media on canvas board. 11x14”. All about learning to not just accept, but to celebrate ourselves, who we are, just as we are. (Even the monsters inside) 🩷

It’s a beautiful weekend for art and sunshine. Plus live music and food trucks. Come visit me at the Bucktown Art Fest, booth 12!

Going BIG. I’m working on one of the largest paintings I’ve done yet in my art studio, I’ve even had to break out the step ladder. There’s a lot of work to do but I’m excited, before I know it, I’ll start to see it coming together.
It does make me wish I had a bigger studio space…
One day.
Goals. 😎🎨🌠

I’m debuting some new paintings and limited edition prints this weekend at the Printers Row Art Fest in Chicago! Like the mixed media painting above, ‘To Those That Save Us,’ a tribute to the precious four-legged babies in our lives.
It’s been crazy busy getting everything done, and Watson the cat and I are tuckered out. But I’ll be up early tomorrow for the art fest, I hope to see you there!

The absolute chaos of being creative in a small space. Especially when you’re working on multiple paintings and projects at once. Let’s just say my art studio is far from instagram ready right now. 😅 Please tell me if you can relate. 😬 Let’s reassure each other that it’s a reasonable part of the process! 😄🩷

‘The Weight of Absolutely Everything,’ a paradoxically peaceful take on overwhelming anxiety and the hope that tells us that this feeling will not last forever. 24x48” mixed media painting on canvas.

‘In My Space,’ because protecting our boundaries is a beautiful thing. It’s both a celebration… and a threat.
Watercolor, acrylic, collage, transfer print, and ink on watercolor paper, or, you know, mixed media. 12x16”

As a pre-teen/teen growing up in a small town, I was told to ‘smile’ many dozens of times by random adult men. Unmeasurably creepy. Women don’t exist for anybody else’s comfort or pleasure.
‘Only One of the Faces,’ 24x24” acrylic, collage, and transfer print painting on canvas about the cultural expectation to look and be a certain way. It’s something way too many of us can relate to.
This painting found a wonderful new home during last week’s art fair. ❤️

Day 2 at the Lincoln Roscoe art fair. I’m showing my new piece, Turns out it was Inside All Along, 30x48” mixed-media.
