24" x 36" Shell Island

Hello from the studio!

I really enjoyed painting this one. I think the traditional sky, water,
beach paintings are nice but I like to mix things up and see it from another
perspective. I wanted to wait to post it till I had its glamour shot.
And here it is for your viewing pleasure.



The painting continues as it wraps around the edges.

Painting Tiny

Hello from the studio!

I have been busy today painting tiny. Tiny what? Well, this is what happened...


I kinda made a mess...but it was worth it. I think this confirms I am an Impressionist Painter.

It's getting crowded...

Hello from the studio!

Just wanted to share my wall of art with you. This is not all my art, these are just the palm frond art masks.




 

Those are not stuffed animals. LOL

Mondays Aren't So Bad...


Hello from the studio!

Music is turned up! It's not the easiest thing being a starving artist, but I am trying to wear it well. This is what makes me happy. 



And here are two of them. 


The next step is sealing the item with a clear acrylic,
insert the hanging assembly and create the glamour shot. 
Once all that is done the items will be placed
in the 
gallery and ready for purchase.

About The Artist
I think I am lucky that I found out at a very young age not only what I am supposed to be doing, but where and what would be my life's theme. I am supposed to create art at the beach. And the theme, you probably guessed, the beach and all the wonders of the water. 

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago; a lot of them – from Hinsdale to Bensenville to Cicero and more. One constant remained; the city of Chicago and the fantastic culture it showed me. I spent many a weekend at the Art Insitute, Science and Industry and Field museums, Brookfield Zoo and people watching at Buckingham Fountain. I enjoyed music in the park and the midnight showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Biograph Theater, but mostly running around the neighborhood with all the other kids, just being a kid. 

I spent most of my indoor hours drawing anything and everything, on any paper I could find. I poked a lot of holes in my walls with pushpins to hang all my art. I am thankful for computers in which I do most of my drawings now; it did help with the pushpin issue. However since I started making Palm Frond Masks and Canvas Paintings, nails are now the issue.
