Each email I receive for commissioned work, I am taken back and count my blessings all over again. You see, when I went to school to study art, I had a full ride art scholarship but […]

Frost 2.0
Last August, I did a huge wordy painting of Robert Frost's The Path Not Taken. It is one of my favorite poems of all time and we loved having each drippy word hanging in our house, but I eventually sold the painting when we started the family room renovation. Fast forward almost a year (!) […]

Original, Soft, Abstract Art: Blues, Greens and Grays.
