It’s long overdue that I added some black and white art to my portfolio. I have been trying to get to a couple of black and white follow up pieces to my cover of The Dark is Rising from the NESCBWI Poster Showcase, since May. Any repeat viewers notice a change to my cover? IContinue reading “Black and White”

Flying Bike
I am trying to juggle a lot of projects right now. Somehow this week got very busy! I love busy, it keeps me on my toes and sometimes I think it actually helps me to be more productive. However, it is putting my timing off for the blog, as you regular readers probably noticed yesterday!Continue reading “Flying Bike”
Boys Being Silly
I am working on a new promo piece. I finished the final image for the front and I started a sketch for the back of the card. The back of the card unfortunately really doesn’t match the front or story. But, why else have a blog! To show the failures that are still fun. AndContinue reading “Boys Being Silly”
Matt’s Choice
Every night my husband tells me “make more art that you are proud of”. I find as an artist I am the cliché, never completely happy with my own work. Always wanting it to be better, too close to the situation to see the continuity. This is not to say I don’t believe in myContinue reading “Matt’s Choice”
Re-cap — Somerville Open Studios
What a weekend and then week following. Nothing happened this week but, I have felt burnt out and all over the place. Honestly I still feel like I am out of sorts but, it’s time to reign this in and get back to a normal schedule. What did I do this week? I gardened: preppingContinue reading “Re-cap — Somerville Open Studios”

I will be at 45 Laurel St. Apt #2 Somerville, MA –Continue reading “Work for Somerville Open Studios”
The Pacific
Lately there has been a focus on the Pacific in the world and at my home. The weekend the Quake and Tsunami hit Japan, Matt and I were listening to the Life of Pi on our drive to Rochester. This was my second time listening to it and I was taken away again. The LifeContinue reading “The Pacific”
New Shop!
All right, things have been going on in my life and I have to admit they are completely disrupting my regular scheduling. I am still getting things done and am making work; it is just all coming out on it’s own time. Hopefully next week will be a bit more normal and there will beginContinue reading “New Shop!”
Sillygoatgirl’s Choice
One more down and only one left, X. A print of the W is now available for sale in my etsy shop.
Panda
A local art store often puts wooden canvases on sale. During one of these sales I purchased some small ones to see how it would be to work on wood. Last Friday inspired by a meme I started almost 5 years ago now, I made this little piece. I used watercolors, colored pencils, and aContinue reading “Panda”
Happy Year of the Rabbit
A year to catch our breaths and calm down. Last year was rough, so many hardships came down upon people I know and love. I am hoping with the start of this year we can all heal from these trials, grow, and find balance. My plans for myself are to simply stay on track. IContinue reading “Happy Year of the Rabbit”
Sculpey/Clay – 1 of 2
Clay. The medium that relaxes me and makes me feel like I am refreshing my creativity while I work. Example, I worked on projects until 2am last night and didn’t notice the time at all. Over the years I have learned some tricks as well as found other artists who’s work in polymer is trulyContinue reading “Sculpey/Clay – 1 of 2”
