Digital Painting as a solution to storage issues
Artists who have been working for any length of time will eventually run into an issue with storage. Art supplies, sketches, half finished work, and unsold work – it’s a lot of stuff all needing careful handling.

I am thrilled to announce to any who will listen that on December 2 2017, on an unseasonably warm day for December in Milwaukee, I married a man called Carr. John Francis Carr III to be exact – a man I’ve known since my college days — and he’s pretty fantastic! While I gave the […]
Art meets life
Just met with my client last evening to hand over the finished “Portrait of Lady” – and today I get this great photo of Lady and the portrait meeting in real life! Doesn’t get much better than that! Thank you Jonathan and Lady!
Portraits make great gifts!
I love working on portraits. I especially love when someone commissions a portrait as a gift – holidays, anniversaries, weddings, even memorials of those who we’ve lost. I love working on portraits because of the love that flows from the giver, through me, to the person who ultimately receives the gift. I feel that love when I’m […]
My new favorite person is from Nova Scotia
