Kahlo at The Philadelphia Museum of Art
I have been amazingly busy this season with all the spring and early summer weddings coming up. I am creating, painting and drawing everyday. Several weeks agao I took some time to reflect on my experience as an aritst and where I draw my inspirations. I have a deep rooted background in Fine Art that […]
My new papers have arrived!
I love paper…well maybe that is obvious. I do however make sure never to use stunning papers as a crutch for my designs. When I see a paper that inspires I imagine how my artwork can improve or enlighten the use of decorative papers. Anyway, not to get too philosophical! I order paper from everywhere. […]
My photo shoot with Shane!
Well it has been crazy around the studio as always…Two weeks ago I scheduled a much overdue photo shoot with my fav photographer Shane East. Soon after I moved back to PA from NY I found his work online and was so excited to have someone with his vision and talent working in Northeast PA. […]
Purple Lacy Guestbook
I have been so crazy busy since returning from vacation. I am just now looking through my photos of work created over the last month. This lovely guestbook is one of my favorites from June. The bride’s colors were plum and chartreuse. I thought the lavender was the perfect brush of color to compliment her […]
Pretty in Pink Seating Chart
Okay, I am sorry for the cheesy 80’s reference but that is all I could think as I created this seating chart! I love the super soft pale pink and contrast of rich burgundy. My lacy stamp adds such a whisper of pattern that seems so perfect for this look. I again was lucky to […]
My Western Adventure – Yosemite National Park, California
We just spent 4 glorious days in Yosemite. Even though I am a huge fan of red rock country this is by far my most favorite park. It is full of all the big attrations that would expect from a park this size but also brimming with hidden treasures. This first day I spent a […]
My Western Adventure – Zion National Park, Utah
I just love Utah….really that is an understatement. The land, the people and the sun – I just can’t get enough. I could be here for a lifetime and never be short on inspiration. We stayed in Zion National Park for 3 nights and hated to leave. It was quite warm but we were never […]
My Western Adventure – Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
Next we were on to Bryce Canyon. I have been here once before but did not get the chance to spend much time. We drove to the end of the scenic drive where I then backtracked and painted Natural Bridge while the others hiked a short trail. This time my painting experience was not quite […]
My Western Adventure – Monument Valley, Utah
On Monday we visited Monument Valley in Utah. This land is now owned by the Navaho Nation and they offer tours throughout this stunning landscape. Many films and commercials have been fimed here and you can see why. I took little over an hour on the side of the path to paint just a portion […]
My Western Adventure – El Morro NM, New Mexico
Today we are traveling through New Mexico. We stopped at several National Monuments along the way. It was at el Murro that I finally was able to do some painting. I was so inspired by the jutting rocks far above my head. The varying shades of orange were a beautiful backdrop to the soft blue […]
My Western Adventure – Santa Fe, New Mexico
We spent Friday and Saturday in Santa Fe. I was so looking forward to being back in Santa Fe. It is such a lovely area full of color, life and sprit. I feel at home here. We finally visited The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. It was small and quaint and housed some of her most beloved […]
My Western Adventure – Garden of the Gods, Colorado
Next we stopped at Garden of the Gods which is completely free to the public. You enter the park to be immediately greeted by a landscape much in contrast to the preceeding drive. Huge rock formations of vibrant orange and terracotta – some so thin you wonder how they atand strong. They do advise however […]
