It’s been a while…

​It’s been 2 years since I last created an entry on this page, and so much has changed for me as an artist. I’m going to try to be faithful to regularly post here so that I can keep in closer contract with you, showing you more of what is happening in the studio on a daily basis. .  

One major change for me has been a new direction in a portion of my work. I have discovered a love for colored pencil, and particularly doing pet portraits. I’ve been working in colored pencil for a year (as of a week ago!), testing different surfaces, and finding what works best for my style of drawing. The pet portrait above is one of my favorites from 2024 - such a great expression on this puppy’s face!!!  I’m so excited to share my discoveries and process with you - so stay tuned for that. 

I continue to create my beautiful Birds of a Feather series, but I am exploring new ideas for how to change them up a bit. I’ve done some in new colors, which you can see on my page with Koyman Galleries, but I’m also experimenting with creating a whole new series. We’ll see where that goes. 

Today I need to finish planting my garden. And once that’s done, I can spend more time back in my studio. Have a wonderful day, friend.
