This winter has been all about cactuses for me. I had three great opportunities to draw cactuses, one leading to the next, leading to the next. I started with the cactuses above, done for bags gifted to the Museum Store Association (did you know there was such a thing??) Western Chapter conference hosts, the PhoenixContinue reading “The Year of the Cactus”

Time to Refresh
Now that Thanksgiving has passed and we’re more than 24 hours into December, I feel like the year is finally starting to truly draw to a close. It’s not a bad thing, quite the opposite. It gives us all a chance to celebrate and reflect on the previous 12 months, of course. But then weContinue reading “Time to Refresh”
Changing Seasons
The weather hasn’t started changing yet, not really (I think it hit 90 degrees yesterday) but I can’t help but get excited when the fall season approaches. It’s not just about the cooler weather; it’s the changing colors of the trees and subtle shifts of the sunlight as the days grow shorter and the sunContinue reading “Changing Seasons”
Little One
Just one of several new little guys I’m working on for an upcoming project. Sometimes you want to make things that are graceful, elegant, refined. Other times, you just need to draw a chubby little tiger who likes baseball!
Monstera Sunday
My first totally finished image using a tablet! There are a few others that are works in progress, but I’m really excited to have this one finished first!

Charlie
Introducing Charlie the goldendoodle!
Euphorbia Euphoria
I’m not sure what will become of this little WIP; I hope I can find the time to complete him!
Charlie the Dog
I recently had the opportunity to work on an interesting project; a design for a tote bag that would be printed front and back. I’ve really enjoyed pushing myself to design specifically for silkscreening; it reminds me a lot of the block printing classes I took in college, and how that really helped me expandContinue reading “Charlie the Dog”
Love Is In The Air
My first completed artwork of 2019! I recently turned 30, which has filled me with mixed emotions. What did I expect my life would be like at this point? Am I satisfied with how things are? Am I at peace with the path I’m on? What needs to change? Having my birthday right next toContinue reading “Love Is In The Air”
