Reclaiming my blog!

I feel I need to apologise for not posting in such a very long time. Life has really been a whirlwind for me. I am happily adjusting to life with my one year old baby boy, while living the life of an artist! I have had so many happy things happen within the last year that I feel truly blessed. I have moved, moved again, and set up a new studio to work in. I have sold work, painted commission pieces, and have pieces hanging in a gallery to name a few. So why not reclaim my blog to allow others to join me on my ride? Here are a few of the pieces that I have created recently. Thanks for stopping in. I will update again soon :)

The end of the summer...

This has really been a whirlwind of a summer! After spending the summer teaching art classes, I am so happy to be back in my own little art studio and work on my own creations again. Nick’s classroom is looking better and better everyday (but we are still not ready for all our kids to be back). Maybe this year will be the year we are truly ready for them… well, probably not. This last week we celebrated our four year wedding anniversary, and in a few months we will be introducing to the world the newest member of our family! Yep, we are having a baby in early January! I am curious to see how life will change with a little one around. I look forward to the changes, even the diaper ones.

The Courage to Say it All

So this is as far as I have gotten on my mixed media college. She is still in the precess, and I will continue to upload pictures of her as I go. Thanks for viewing.

Update!

Last nights progress. My Lioness is coming together. This is where I stopped after I found the opossum in my studio.

Intruder!

I was working away and heard a rustling to my left. I look over to see this ball of fur crawling up a roll of paper! I thought it was a rat. I woke up Nick, my husband, to get it out of my studio (hours before he needs to for work). He comes in and laughs when he sees that it is only a baby possum! He trapped it in a garden bucket and we put it outside.
What I would like to know how you got in Mr.

And so it begins!

Background- The Courage to Say It All

So this is as far as I got last night working on my background. This is going to be a large mixed media piece done in the style of the eye study I did a few weeks back before spring break hit. Just thought I would upload a progress image.

*please ignore the messy studio in the background. It just comes with the territory of me being productive.
