This is my latest painting done at Avenue Road Art School.  I am really enjoying the variations of lines and marks plus the washes and texture that brings life to my pieces.
Medium: Acrylics
Size: 30x30

Leaf Series

These images were originally done for a Calendar for Avalanche Publishing and later for Pier 1 Imports. The Maple leaf was also used for stationery and note cards. I made limited edition Giclees out of a series of them -for sale too.

Medium: Collage, digital, actual leaves that I pressed between heavy books, dried them and scanned them, to incorporate into my artwork.

‎"Splashes of roses"- Acrylics/ Mixed medium- 30x20

"Spring has Sprung"

This is my Latest , done at the Distillery.  It was a wonderful inspiring day spent at a painting workshop   at Lydia Panart's studio.  Had so much fun! Acrylic and mixed media. 36x36.

Splashing in the bath

This illustration was colored digitally but the lines were hand drawn. The colors are fun and bright. Great for trade or education publication.

A Busy Day for Teddy

This is a slight departure for me . I have discovered the joy of illustrating a child in an animal's body. I don't have  to worry about ethnicity or about being politically correct.  Must say really enjoyed doing it. The medium was  pastel and digital.
