This piece has been in my mind’s eye for some time now, a darker painting with metallic colors for the floral design. I actually did this piece to go along with a photoshoot I recently did. As it goes with any of my pieces, especially the ones with metallic paints, different lighting situations change the …
A couple recent paintings I did, the first two were spontaneous, the third a commissioned piece. The “Abundant Joy” tree, was a piece I did as a challenge from a friend on a difficult day. I was having a hard time emotionally and she challenged me to put in into a painting. It wasn’t what …

So as I have mentioned before, fine art portrait painting and other technical art are not my expertise or preference. However, I have been challenging myself to take on more and try to improve in this area. I had a request for a painting based on a photo taken by Frank Henshaw of the lovely …
So I am currently collaborating with a local filmmaker and director James Davis creating a short documentary clip of me as an artist. I’ve been on video many times, but I’m still mortified every time I see/hear myself. The cool thing is getting to see the process of gathering footage and putting things together. It’s …

This painting came up as a side project, based on a photo by Fstop Guam Photography. All of the following paintings are inspired by the photos, and aren’t meant to be portrayed “accurately.” Because I say so. =) See original photo below painting.

This last Saturday was the Kids’ Art Session down at Jeff’s Pirates Cove. Although we only had one lovely participant and her mama, we had a great time trying our hands at batik style sun catchers. We had mini silks on metal frames, and used gutta and silk dye to make designs on them. Here …

I used silver and gold to paint 3 latte stones over the bubblegum jungle. My personal symbolism for …
