Artwork For Sale



Well it's been awhile, but for good reason.  We have moved three times and have welcomed a baby girl into our crazy little family.  With all of these changes it took a bit to get back into the groove, but I have new works in the wings and an updated site to explore.  I am very excited about the pieces that are emerging.  I have left the small works behind and have been working on a much larger scale.   I will be posting some "works in progress" images very shortly, but for now take a peek at the new site.  There are options for the purchase of original pieces and there will be prints made available soon as well.

Thanks for hanging in there! And for all you tattoo enthusiasts, there will be new tattoo flash arriving very shortly!  I will keep you posted!

Flower Designs

So I took some time off and I have been working non stop to create a new series of work.  For some time now I have been so engrossed by the landscapes of my past Illustrations that I have centered my new work purely on this.  I seem to think that this obsession with drawing flowers may stem from the fact that this has been one of the worst winters in a long time and maybe I was just praying for Spring.....


These winding flowers are going to be included in the new book I am working on for Bullseye, but I am also using these images as the main characters in my new body of work. 

I have already finished quite a few and I will be posting the new work online at http://www.twistedbeautydesign.com/ , soon to come.

This is just a sample of the new characters starring in my work.....

SPOONFLOWER/ FLAVOR PAPER/ UNIQUE DESIGNS



Spoonflower is an amazing website that allows you to create your own textile and patterns, sell them and shop for other unique textiles created by artists.  It is truly a fantastic place to play, design and explore pattern....the possibilites are endless...

I found this site many years ago and up until recentley, I never tapped into this source.  There are so many places online now to explore design...it is exciting..

This gave me the idea to play with my own Illustrations.....


This is a play with "Red Hots and Lemon Heads", an original Illustration, done with Pen and Ink, Color Pencil, Charcoal, Cut Paper and Mixed Media. 


My soon to be Mother-in-law has this piece hanging in her home...love ya Barbara!


This is a play with "Lazy Daisy Cake", again an original Illustration done with, Pen and Ink, Color Pencil, Charcoal, Cut Paper and Mixed Media. 



For inspiration there is also an incredible site for the most insanely beautiful wall coverings.

These are a just a few of my favorite designs:


Power Plant / Designed by Dan Funderburgh


City Park/ Designed by Dan Funderburgh


Shore Leave/ Designed by Emily Minnie

This company produces some of the most amazing wall coverings, their use of color and distintive designs are hands down the most inspiring images I have seen in a long time....This goes way beyond your mom and dads floral dining room wallpaper....

ILLUSTRATIONS TO HOME ACCESSORIES





Recently, I have become drawn more to the landscape of my illustrations and this is what has fueled my interest in design.

A very good friend of mine introduced me to an amazing website, which allows an artist to explore a different avenue of the arts. It allowed me to translate my illustrations to home accessory design, and I am having a ball creating fun, unique items for the home. It has opened so many new doors for me and I am running with it.....

Soon I hope to have a series of wallpaper and textile designs and a line of fashion apparel....so keep your eyes peeled....the skies the limit...

You should check out my online shop at Envelop for a sneak peek at some of the items I have been toying with...Enjoy..
