My Blue Period

Smitten with the color Blue...

I have always been drawn to Snap Dragons and Bleeding Hearts.  We used to have a garden full of these and I have many memories of snapping the heads off and pinching them so that they talk....

It seems most of my memories revolve around the garden...whether it be from my father smashing fire flies on his finger nails so that they glow in the dark,  my sister and I pulling green moss from in between red bricks in a patio, or from running scared from an influx of Praymantisis crawling on our blue shingled house...


All of these memories are steering my new work with color...

Sneak Peek New Work!



Pen and Ink, Color Pencil 2010


Working on new designs, I finally got my second wind and I am drawing like crazy. This new flower is just the beginning...So much more is a coming....


I just love the color in this flower and it seems that not only does it want to be a part of a much larger art piece, but it also wants to be on my rib cage as well...


Stay tuned...

Book Of Flowers Update!



So it's finally here and ready to be in your hands.  This is a forty page sketch book of stylized flower designs.  A few are in color, but for the most part it's pure pen and ink...
