Updates & News:
May 24, 2013 - New Painting! Minty
Sorry for the Christmas themed painting in May! But please meet Minty, my peppermint fairy. She was a commissioned piece that was purchased back in 2012, but because of other pieces I was working on with the client, she just got finished up last month. But people eat peppermint year round, so I figure she's not too out of place. Since this was a commissioned piece, the original has been sold, but prints and products will be available in my Etsy shop soon!

May 24, 2013 - New Painting! Beatrix
This is Beatrix another commissioned painting. She was painted to go along with my first zombie painting, Lexy. I think they make a sexy zombie pair! Don't you? I really had a lot of fun painting all the tattoo inspired elements in this painting like the banner and roses. The original of this painting has also been sold, but I'm beginning to add prints and products in my Etsy store here.

May 24, 2013 - New Painting! Coraline
And last but not least, please meet Coraline! Now I know she's a Halloween painting....you all must really think I have my seasons screwed up. But, if you've followed my work you know that I love to paint witches and Halloween related paintings year round. This one was no exception! I enjoyed taking a different spin on this piece by painting a pretty pastel background. I think it gives it more of a spring/summer feeling. This was also a commissioned painting, but prints and products will be available soon here!

May 24, 2013 - ACEO Print Sale on eBay!
I decided to do something fun and have an ACEO print sale on eBay!! I listed every single painting that I've ever created since beginning my art career way back in 2005 as an ACEO print on eBay. They are all 7 day auctions starting at only $2. The regular retail price of my ACEOs is $4, so you can snag a bargain if you decide to bid on them!
There are 117 different images to choose from including some of my first paintings that I ever created. But there are also all of my brand new ones and most popular ones to purchase as well!
Boy was it a trip down memory lane as I was going through all of these images. My style changed dramatically at one point when I came up with a different process to sketch and then transfer my linework to my finished watercolor paper. Because of this change, I was able to sketch more realistic figures and add more detail into my final paintings. When my style made the big change, I sort of "retired" all my very first pieces and they haven't been available for purchase for many years. But for this sale, I thought it would be fun to bring them back because there were a lot of you who were very fond of these pieces and many of you who have never had a chance to purchase them or even see them before!
To view and bid on my ACEO print sale, visit this link.
Here are some of my really old pieces that are up for grabs. This will probably be one of the only times, if not the only time, I decide to offer these pieces, so if you're interested I'd snag them now!

March 19, 2013 - New Painting - Personal Commission
Whew! I sure have been busy lately. This is the third painting that I've wrapped up in the past couple weeks. And this is definitely a special one! I was approached a few months ago by a wonderful customer of mine who wanted a stylized portrait commission of her and her daughter.
Now those of you who follow my work know that I usually only paint things with wings, hats, fangs, tails, etc... lol. And I have never painted any children before. But this customer is so important to me, I just couldn't say no! And I'm really glad that I didn't.
It was such a challenging piece, but I really feel like I pushed myself a lot on this painting. And I'm really happy I got the opportunity to work on such a special piece for a special person! I hope that you all enjoy it.

March 19, 2013 - New Painting - Alondra & Medwin
I have another exciting new painting to share with you all today! This was another commissioned painting titled Alondra & Medwin. This is part of a 4 painting series of elemental witches. I have already completed the first in the series "Serafina & Firenze" that depicts the fire element. Alondra & Medwin is the second in the series and depicts the water element.
This was such a fun piece to paint and probably my most detailed painting to date. Between all the carvings and detail in the back and the intricate coral reef elements in the front...not to mention the witch and the seahorse...I spent hours upon hours on this piece from start to finish. But it was so much fun to do and I enjoy seeing this piece alongside it's companion piece. I can't wait to finish the rest of the series!
Again, this was a commissioned piece, so the original is already in a great home. But prints and products are available in my Etsy shop here.

March 19, 2013 - New Painting - Morrigane
Morrigane is my first big finish of 2013! She measures 8x10" and is a commissioned painting. My client wanted me to depict traditional elements of The Morrigan mixed with personality traits of herself. They combined together to create this beautiful character that I was so excited to be able to paint!
Because this was a commissioned painting, the original has already been sold. But prints and products of this piece will soon be available in my Etsy shop here.

January 29, 2013 - Exciting News!! I'm Pregnant!!
Well, I have exciting news to share with you all! Most of you probably already saw this on my Facebook page, but I wanted to let all of you know who don't use Facebook that I'm pregnant!! My husband and I are expecting our first child sometime around July 30th. We are both super excited and thrilled at the thought of a new little person joining our family. I have been doing very well and so has the baby. We're both happy, healthy and looking forward to meeting each other this coming summer.
I wanted to let you all know not only because I wanted to share my happy news, but also because my progress on artwork has slowed some. So that means progress on commissioned paintings is not what it was before I was pregnant. Usual sickness and tiredness of pregnancy has slowed me down, but it definitely won't stop me! I'm still plugging along and doing my best to fulfill all my commitments in a timely manner.
I have put a temporary hold on adding any new commissioned paintings to my list while I get caught up a bit. I expect the hold to last maybe about a month or so. I just have a few big pieces that I need to finish up before I feel comfortable taking on more paintings. Also, because this is my first time being pregnant and I don't really know what to expect, I am no longer promising to complete commissioned paintings by a certain time. If you have a deadline that you need to meet, we can definitely discuss it, but for most personal commissions, I won't be giving time estimates. Rest assured that doesn't mean that I won't be working on your pieces! If you are a client on my commission list, I will typically spend one whole day per week working only on your piece and also provide you with progress photos. You can read more about my commission changes here. Thanks so much for your patience during this exciting time!

January 29, 2013 - New Painting - Fallon
Happy New Year everyone! This post is a little late, but I didn't want to miss the chance at wishing all of you who visit my website a Happy New Year! I also wanted to show you a painting that I finished up in December. This was actually the last painting that I finished in 2012. Her name is Fallon and it was a commissioned piece. My client developed these two characters: Fallon and her white wolf companion. I was honored that I got to bring her vision to life so to speak.
This was a really fun piece to work on and was the first wolf that I've ever painted. I also really enjoyed the earthy color scheme with the purple background, designing all her leather clothes and painting her two-toned hair. The original of Fallon is of course already claimed, but prints and products of her will be added soon! They will most likely be available in my Etsy shop here before they are added to my website store as I'm a bit slow to update my website. I hope you all enjoy Fallon!

November 14, 2012 - New Painting - BreAnna
I just finished up a new painting yesterday called BreAnna and I wanted to share her with you all!

I'm so excited to share this with you all!! Meet, Lexy, my sexy zombie rockabilly pinup girl! I just finished this painting today and it was just so much fun to work on. I loved working with all the fun, bright colors, the green skin, the roses and different textures.
This is a finished result of one of my "Adoptable Images" so the original painting is already sold. The person who "adopted" this image got to choose the colors. She made such wonderful choices and wanted to have the black hair with white streaks which was such an awesome idea. I wouldn't have thought of it myself! She also chose the different colored roses. If you're interested in one of my other images up for adoption, check the "Adoptable Images" section of my website here.
Lexy will be available as prints very soon! I'll be sure to keep you all updated. =)

October 5, 2012 - NEW Adoptable Images!
I have been having a lot of fun lately creating quick sketches that I offer up for a "Quick Sale" on my Facebook Fan Page. These quick sketches are so enjoyable for me because they allow me to explore all different sorts of styles and techniques. These sketches have all been claimed and have found homes, but I've had a lot of questions as to whether or not I would turn these images into finished paintings.
So I thought it would be really fun to offer these images up for "adoption"! What you do is purchase the image you would like a finished, original watercolor painting of. Then I will turn the image into a completed, fully shaded, 5x7" watercolor and ink painting. And the really fun part is, you get to decide what colors I use!
These original paintings are available for only $100 each! My usual starting price for 5x7" commissions are $150, so these adoptable images are available at a significantly reduced rate. Click here to see all of the available images and adopt one today!

June 27, 2012 - New Whimsical Wash Arden #1 of 5 for Sale and Bulk Discounts
I have a new creation up for auction on my Facebook Fan Page! I call them Whimsical Washes and they're sort of a combination between a limited edition print and an original painting. I start by printing the linework onto watercolor paper. Each Whimsical Whimsy is painted by hand in light washes and then darker textures are added to the borders with watercolors. Many of my pieces will be available as a Whimsical Wash and each image will be limited editions of only 5. I have my very first one featuring Arden #1 of 5 up for auction here.
I have also decided to restructure my Etsy shop to offer discounts for buying multiples. I have my first deal up and ready to go. Now you can purchase any 3 of my 8x10 prints for only $30! They retail for $13 each, so that's a savings of $9 if you buy 3 at a time. If you want more than 3, the special is good for buying more 8x10 prints. I have over 50 images to choose from and I'm adding more all the time! Hope you enjoy this special. =)

June 26, 2012 - New Painting for Sale - Symphoni
Portrait of a Mermaid #2 - Symphoni
Hi everyone! It's been awhile since I've updated my main page here, but I have definitely still been painting and busy! To stay more up to date about what's going on in my little art world be sure to "Like" my Facebook Fan Page and also visit my blog. I post on these two places very frequently so you can see all of my newest sketches, products, paintings and more!
I am going to start to try to update my main page more often though, so I'm going to start today! Here is my new original painting Symphoni. Symphoni is part of my Portrait Series where I depict my lovely fantasy ladies in a more closeup pose. It's almost as if someone took a snapshot of them in their natural environments. I paint them usually from their waist up so that you can see more intricate details on their face, hair and clothing. I also paint them with a very fun textured watercolor background and in just a few colors.
Within my main Portrait Series, I have sub series where I paint portraits of different fantasy characters such as witches, steampunks, vampires, fairies, etc... Symphoni is Portrait of a Mermaid #2 and is the 8th portrait overall in my Portrait Series. Symphoni is painted in beautiful shades of brown, teal and purple. There is a grouping of shells and scroll work at the bottom left of the painting that adds to the musical feeling of the painting. I really enjoyed painting Symphoni and hope that you may consider adding her to your collection!

I am going to start to try to update my main page more often though, so I'm going to start today! Here is my new original painting Symphoni. Symphoni is part of my Portrait Series where I depict my lovely fantasy ladies in a more closeup pose. It's almost as if someone took a snapshot of them in their natural environments. I paint them usually from their waist up so that you can see more intricate details on their face, hair and clothing. I also paint them with a very fun textured watercolor background and in just a few colors.
Within my main Portrait Series, I have sub series where I paint portraits of different fantasy characters such as witches, steampunks, vampires, fairies, etc... Symphoni is Portrait of a Mermaid #2 and is the 8th portrait overall in my Portrait Series. Symphoni is painted in beautiful shades of brown, teal and purple. There is a grouping of shells and scroll work at the bottom left of the painting that adds to the musical feeling of the painting. I really enjoyed painting Symphoni and hope that you may consider adding her to your collection!
