The Baking Dead
What do you get a super cool athlete woman that is fulfilling her dream to own a bakery? You’re right! A custom piece of art! Inspired by the colorful and edgy Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) art, this piece is centered around baking. A stylish skull with rolling pin and spatula crossbones shows off her whole wheat cookies, muffins and brownies that float all around. Check out her goods over at Marathon Bakery.
Comfy Chair
Second of the chair series.
Birdie Rescue
A friend posted a photo of her young son that had caught a bird in their yard. It was probably the cutest kid photo I’ve ever seen in my life and I was instantly inspired to draw it. Since we’ve had some warmer days up here in Colorado I wanted to get it finished. It is now my official Spring poster child (pun intended.) I admit that I did make some color changes along the way. I don’t think there are any of these birds free flying around Tennessee where they live, but I wanted the bird to go with the beautiful big blue eyes. Everything else just needed to be bright and “springy.”
SOLD
Lovebirds
I’m excited to share this wedding gift for my sweet niece! The main goal was to create something as bright and beautiful as she is, and the bright future ahead of them. The two birds are in their wedding attire sharing a sweet kiss on their wedding day. The quote “Come live in my heart and pay no rent” is by Samuel Lover. It spoke to me as the perfectly sweet sidekick to a perfectly sweet pair. The wedding was beautiful and I wish them eons of happiness!
SOLD
June Weddin’
I had SO much fun with this piece. A sweet woman contacted me about creating something for her son and his bride’s big day. They bought a new home and have two cats. I wanted to make the piece ooze with love and happiness, so of course had to add a rainbow, love rays and heart rain to make the flowers grow. Sorry, the unicorn just wouldn’t fit. Here’s to a happy beginning!
SOLD
Spring Beauty
The best way to bring in spring is to wear it! A coworker’s wife wore sunflowers in her hair at our company holiday party. I knew right then that she was a work of art. A modern day Cinderella, surrounded by flowers with birds singing the song of spring.
SOLD
Vail fun
This was a gift for a family building a home in Vail. A snapshot of the three kids, their interests and the views in beautiful Vail. The robin was thought to be grandma’s spirit, who seemed to always hang around the family.
SOLD
Turning One
A lot was happening for this family (the Project Bliss family.) Their little boy was turning one and they were moving to Washington DC. I wanted to capture it all.
SOLD
The Takasakis
A friend ordered this one as a gift to her parents. (Are those chopsticks in your pocket or are you happy to see me?) I lurve them!
SOLD
Kitty and a fiddle
The latest donation to Operation Shower. This baby shower theme is called “Over the Moon”, coming from the poem Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon… I thought I’d offer up my vision of the kitty and the fiddle, in his pantaloons of glory. This should look cute in some nursery somewhere!
