Keep Calm and Carry On.

Hi Friends and Family!!!

I am happy to show you my second painting of the series, Pebbles & Pathways. To remind you, this series is focusing on life's journey. Specifically my journey, and where I am physically and mentally while completing these individual paintings. My first of this series was red, white, and black... it had loopy pathways intersecting with pathways full of pebbles. This painting as you can see has no clear and loopy pathways, but plenty of pebbles along the way. These are abstract interpretations, and I invite you to interpret them how you feel fits. 

I apologize for the poor photo quality, my cameras and I are fighting. So, I am stuck with only my cell phone for the time being. 

Keep Calm and Carry On. 16x20, pastel, watercolor, and collage on canvas.

As always... more photos to come!! And I would like to thank those who emailed me once I reached my 1,000th view. Your photos will be arriving in the near future. :)

Thank you all for your support and following. 

Peace, Love, & ART.

Pebbles & Pathways II

Hi Friends and Family!

I decided to spend my night re-touching my previous painting that I started about a month ago. I knew it didn't feel finished... but I felt it was best to walk away from it, and not force any false ideas onto it. I wanted to wait for the right creative direction to approach me. Finally, it hit me... while I was spray-painting my new shelves (black) for my apartment. The newspaper I was using to protect the ground from spray-paint debris had a fantastic value grade (ombré... if you will), I felt like the panting needed more depth. So I cut the newspaper into little squares and rectangles, and decided to collage that onto the painting.  Focusing on areas of the painting that were loosing their interest.

I have a little further to go with this, just small details-BUT here's the painting as is... I feel the new additions made the difference I was looking for. 

Detailed shot of the painting... 

ALMOST finished!!! Need a little more gold and white tones.

My best Critiques come from Luigi... he really knows his Art.

Well my friends, I am sleepy... Will update again soon!

Peace, Love, and Art.

On-Demand is my new addiction...

Pebbles and Pathways I  is still a work in process as most things in this girl's life... here are my latest adjustments I've made all while enjoying a little Weeds, Veep, and Californication. I am not a huge fan of cable but I will admit I am a HBO and Showtime on-demand whore... and I love it. I use to paint to tunes and only tunes, but now I choose to paint and create to marathons of witty, dry, and sarcastic humor-my favorite kind of humor. 

Pebbles and Pathways I... finished photos TBA.

Well, back to painting... and season 4 of Nurse Jackie... 

Peace, love, and ART folks. 

P&P, A new beginning.

Hey all!!!

I've been MIA for the last 6 months... but I'm BACK! :) Life gave me some twists and turns, and I've decided to get back on the art train. The transition from art student to adult, to artist is a strange one, but I feel as if my artist voice is regaining strength and getting stronger each painting or creative project I take on. I am making a public promise to myself and everyone to push myself to the fullest in terms of my art. I am excited to announce I am working on a series entitled: Pebbles and Pathways. 

Here is a little sneak peak of what I have been working on, and what to expect with this series. Pebbles and Pathways will include many different supports, canvas, paper, acetate, all sizes-giant and small. This series is a reflection of the different paths and choices life brings you, some are clear cut, some loop you around in all directions, while others are difficult to see and painful to pursue--BUT one must always decide which road they're going to take and what their next move is. So without further adieu... my apologies for the low photo quality (high res photos to come)... 

My work in progress... the painting AND the studio space :)

I wish the best to everyone, and hope that you enjoy checking back here frequently to see what I am up to. I will continue to post regularly not only my current projects, but to show finished high-res photos, and to show some things that are currently inspiring me-and maybe they'll inspire you too!

Peace, Love, and Art.
