Created these at the last Creative Session. Both pieces surprised me by evolving beyond my vision and intention. They pretty much created themselves, which I guess is what almost all my paintings do!
A 16″x20″ metallic dream. First layered with oceanic blues, then in the middle a warm & passionate diamond shape representing the heart with love inscribed, then layers of metallics over all for a luminescent glow.
ALSO CHECK OUT PART 2 As I drive around Guam my eye is caught by painted bus stops every day. I admire the creativity, the variety, and the effort to beautify previously run-down or graffitied bus stops. If I had it my way, we’d beautify all the buildings on the island this way. If you, …
Up next going in to my exhibit at Pika’s Cafe in Upper Tumon, Guam (across St. John’s school)… the Magic Tree. Acrylic painting on 3’x5′ stretched canvas. I’ve been wanting to paint a big tree again for awhile now, and finally got my fix! May put a few more finishing touches on the tree, but …
Whoohoo! Thank you to Scott Hagen, who bought out my entire Pika’s Cafe exhibit. I am super grateful, and hope that the paintings bring color and life to his family’s home. We left the walls bare for the weekend, and then Monday morning I brought in the last of my finished pieces in stock. Now …

So this past week I decided I wanted to paint something specific. An ifit flower. And I just happened to have a beautiful photo that I took of one last year, much better than any photo I found searching on google! Of course, I would paint it in my own style, my creative version, not …
Some of you knew this was coming. I’ve talked of turtles and their magic before, shared with friends, made mentions of one day painting a turtle into one of my artworks. Well, there has been a lot of turtle magic in my life recently, and to tell you the truth, this painting wasn’t planned. It …
Today I painted 3 little ladies, the Forest Fairy Goddess, the Sea Goddess, & the Stardust Goddess. They were fun. Small little 4″x4″ mini canvases. Got to use my teeny tiny brushes! =) Check em out:
Continuing my painting groove, today I created this piece titled “Moon Goddess” and I just love her! It is a 24″x30″ acrylic on canvas, with a lot of movement. She is a goddess of the moon, she is nameless. She ebbs and flows as the tides do, she follows a rhythm and cycle that is …
Had an image in my mind today and immediately set up my easel, a 24″x30″ canvas, and my paints to start on it while the inspiration was fresh. It is titled “Her Majesty,” and represents a queen who is energetic, full of life & joy, powerful, graceful, bold, loving and playful. She is well-respected for …

Creative Indeed teamed up with The Dollhouse, a 10-piece all-star female band, and DJ Nemesis to host a great show of music and art. Creative extravagance indeed! …
Last Creative Session was awesome! We had a full house, including a mini artist. Between the 8 of us, we were painting (acrylic and watercolor), beading, mixed media (sand, collage), writing, brainstorming, resume writing, and simply enjoying ourselves. With some fun music, great conversation, and of course, tons of creativity swirling around, it was quite …

They are all the same thing to me, a collage of images that light up your soul. Vision Board. Dream Board. Treasure Map. A visual sanctuary to rest on what delights you, what dreams and goals you strive for, what feelings you want to create for yourself. Here are the boards we made this session: …
This huge canvas is 5 feet x 3 feet, and is filled with deep blues, seaweed greens, luminescent white, silver & pearl. This painting is a special custom piece I did for my dad as a gift for Christmas. It is giant swirling wave scene, a mesmerizing piece for sure. He says he loves …
Art is not limited to a canvas! Everything is art in my world, and I’ve painted my hair red. Violet. Reddish violet. Big move for me! This is no subdued look, and in order to rock it, boldness is required. I think that might end up being my word of the year: Bold. And Alicia …
