Taking photos at the beach is not a friend of the camera.

Is everything we create based on a memory?

The watercolor series is complete, using a reject watercolor that I had attempted.

It is a rare smudge or mistake that bothers me; rather, it adds to the charm.

For awhile, I was seeing just about anything as potential mixed media fodder.

Watercolor paint is trying to wheedle its way into my good favor.

I have determined I really suck at watercolor.

Why do we so often put those closest to us last?

Meet them where they are. That's probably the best advice for teens.

Public clipart just doesn't have the same appeal.

The detail I love the most is the mica sheet used to line the car windows.

I wish there was a texture button on the computer, because this paper feels like leather.

I enjoyed making this custom card, pretty in pink.

It is so amazing to think that my art is traveling halfway around the world.

Finally, I have depth of field!

A budding artist with his masterpiece made completely from guitar picks.

A dear friend commissioned me to make a piece of art.

Sometimes I miss my work when I give it away or sell it.

This one was tough to part with, but it went to a good home.

My dream artist studio is a loft of some kind, with wooden floors, large paned windows with sheer curtains blowing in the breeze.
