I've always loved plants, especially big tropical leaves, and I love pink in all shades! This is one of a series of 3 plants with pink and gold that I painted in 2017. The original paintings are acrylic paint with gold leafing.

Vintage clothing and pattern, along with the sensation of floating, freedom, and relaxation were my inspirations for this painting. I love playing around with light glistening on water and the depth it brings when a body is half-submerged.
Inspired by my love of vintage photographs and our little seaside town of Santa Cruz, the mood with this gouache painting transports you somewhere sunny and magical.

This rambunctious little girl wags her tail on a bright background of silver and blue for a cool contemporary look. Grace Ann wears her favorite dog collar which is a good way to make your custom pet portrait unique!
Kenny the black lab was a fun one to do, with a challenging black on black shine, and I love his laugh! His personality really shines though in this 12"x12" portrait.
This flying crow from my 2014 bird series has a wise eye towards the future! Inspired by the oh-so-smart crows in the Santa Cruz mountains, his glossy blue-black feathers are set off by a textured gold leaf background.
