It's my pleasure to announce that my husband and I are expecting our first. Sorry this is so late to announce this to all of my artist friends. But, this is the reason I've been so busy and haven't been focusing on my art like normally. I plan on decorating her nursery and painting new custom pictures for her, that I will post in time. 
Newsletters, and current project.
I've finally added a mailing list to my website! This is new to me, since I've never had to maintain constant feedback through the internet. I've had a few people ask where my subscription button was. I figure, it's going to make it easier to keep in contact with the fans who are interested in upcoming projects/paintings. I mentioned in the newsletter that, with me publishing it exclusively - it may not arrive on a weekly basis. Art takes time! Some work may take longer than others. If you want to sign up, you can go to my web page here. Anyway, I am so happy to be helping my friend out with her site, and receiving help from her as well. The
Juxtapoz Inspirations
The San Francisco contemporary magazine has influenced a lot of my pieces, for years. I remember roaming around our bookstores, here in Knoxville Tennessee and being memorized by each months cover.

I love waiting for the peak of the leaves color, right before they fall off of the trees. There's nothing like getting lost in the Smokey Mountains hiking too - for the best inspirations. For years, I've carried my sketchbooks around during each season. Mostly to jot down idea's, and more importantly to capture the colors. Of course autumn is the most vibrant scenery, well depending on where you're from. If you haven't experienced the overwhelming sens
Adding to the collection
I've been MIA for awhile now, after taking a break to be a new mommy. I've missed all of my friends here, and cannot wait to see what new inspirations are being made! Everyone brings such amazing talents, that it's impossible to have a favorite. But, I am honored to say that I have the BEST favorites and friends that anyone could ever have.
Some projects I've been working on are:
* A "Cajun" inspired painting of the New Orleans French Quarter at Night. It's been one of my biggest challenges yet! It's completely out of my comfort zone, being a "realist." This summer around our anniversary June 26th (also my dads bday Cemetary Visions) we pl
