6 YEARS AFTER WATCHING THE PAINT DRY

"You Are Here" 9" x 12" Mixed Media 2010 The birth of my first child in 2005 and second in 2007 changed everything. I had focused my childless years on the entertainment business in Los Angeles, believing I would return to my art and writing “someday”. My husband and I... Continue reading

I've failed and it is giving me a stomach ache. Somewhere in the 30 paintings in 30 days, I fell off the challenge. I think I've done about 20. Some I can't share because they are gifts, some because I've been too occupied with other projects to get posted. I... Continue reading

I owed a long-time collector a painting. She has been following my work and been so supportive for years. She's often offered a kind word, steeped in pragmatism and sprinkled in faith, just when I needed it. There is a comfort in her balanced world view, a celebration of the... Continue reading

It Is Easy To Paint Something That Looks Likes Something...

but so hard to paint something that looks like something different. I'm working on my commissions and enjoying it but also feel stalled in my parallel track of exploration. It almost feels as if I've been ill, nursing a cold, taking care to calm the fuck down before I get... Continue reading

Day 9 30 Paintings in 30 Days: Meet Frog

I'm shipping my first stuffy commission today and with the client's permission, sharing it here. Meet Frog, a very special lovey who has comforted a 5 year old boy through big health challenges. The images sent showed a well loved, and very specific, blanket hybrid. The biggest challenge; How to... Continue reading

A longtime, internet, friend bought this painting years ago and recently asked for a companion piece. This painting resonated with her in a specific way that I didn't understand or maybe still don't. After all, the entirety of what I know of another person consists of a story in my... Continue reading

Pusheen Dreams of Perfect Bubbles

I'm in day 2 of "30 Paintings in 30 Days" challenge. Sabrina had been asking me, for over a year, to paint one of her stuffies. I used this challenge as an opportunity to finally do it for her. She chose Pusheen, a popular internet character, but I tried to... Continue reading

My Word for 2016: Solo

I was just chatting with a friend describing our years. "Whack A Mole" best described mine. Something pops up, smash it. Screw up? No worries, another critter pops up before the first one disappears. My year of "Foundation" has been reactive, charged and hectic. I am proud of so much:... Continue reading

Check Your Pockets

I took my dog for a walk while thinking about what to name this painting. I considered my belief that we are often better equipped than we think we are. When I pulled into the drive way, I noticed my car was getting cluttered, so were my coat pockets. "Clean... Continue reading

Not the Same Pie

This happened weeks ago. I haven't even been able to articulate the heartbreak of having a painting ruined. I'll never really know how this scratch, forceful enough to remove paint and dent the canvas happened: ill-attended child, clueless backpack, psycho hater? It doesn't matter really because when I went to... Continue reading

The War on Women

I am honored to be included in this event in Pittsburgh, curated by Vicky Clark and created by artist, Meredith Driscoll. For me, supporting Planned Parenthood goes beyond abortion debates or even women's health. Curator Vicky Clark expresses it well when asked about working on this show. "Recently someone asked...

Let's Talk About Burn Out

There is much written about finding time and energy to explore what you love. This piece touches on the opposite extreme. How do we switch off, when we truly love what we do? How do we navigate the worth of projects in a business that is speculative and a culture... Continue reading

What a Beautiful Necklace (Work In Progress)

I saw this shared a few times and finally decided to "snopes" it since it seemed too perfectly awful. It's true and it wasn't that long ago. I laughed but must admit it hit a nerve. How many corporately branded, product pushing, "shoulds" do I still listen to, or force... Continue reading

Learn to Paint Like Me

A wise woman once told me she sees art life as a spiral, rather than a linear journey. My spiral has been expanding, circling out, encompassing more people and providing a base for exploring my word for 2015, "foundation". I feel my spiral reversing itself as the days get shorter....

The Menagerie Is Open

I just got a dozen 8" x 8" canvases that are reserved for animals. Plenty of people have a special affinity for certain creatures and are looking for cool gift ideas, so this will be my holiday project. I know everyone can't afford a commission but I'm happy to take... Continue reading
