New Mixed Media Art Series : Ladies With Books

11×14 Prismacolor Pencil and Mixed Media One of my most popular pieces from my “Unlimited” series has always been October: She Is Full Of Curiosity, and it sold the first time it was exhibited outside of the 12 part Art Prize installation. I have always been an avid reader myself, and via a book club suggestion earlier this year I read the book “The Woman They Could Not Silence” cover to cover…

My Daily Routine As An Independent Artist

Quite awhile ago, I discovered this fun article with the daily routines of some well-known women artists, and thought it would be interesting to share my own average day. I am lucky to have an art related day job teaching at local nonprofits where I am able to inspire people of all ages and abilities to create, especially those who don’t know they’re artists yet. My basic routine on days I work…

Book Quotes Mixed Media Art

I’m an avid reader, and I used to keep a journal where I’d record favorite quotes from books, sometimes stopping every couple paragraphs to record something! When art journaling became a big new thing almost a decade ago, I started turning some of these quotes into visual journal pages as demonstrations for my art classes. I hadn’t done something like this in a very long time, but while reading…

Storytime! My First Art Job, A Very 90s-Kid Tale

The only time I ever felt 100% ‘solid’ outside of my home growing up as a kid was in art class; a real, seen person as opposed to a sort of misty vapor you may feel in the air but not give much notice – a draft that causes a door in the house to close causing a noise for just a second, this abrupt sound being the end of its impact. I wasn’t popular by any means, and though gifted academically, I…

The ABCs of Creation - H Is For Heart

An artist friend recently shared with me an article they wrote titled “The ABCs of Underground Art”. I really enjoyed it, and they encouraged me to write my own ABC’s of the type of art that I do as a fun journaling prompt to use to unwind and organize your thoughts. Those that have followed me for awhile know that I don’t typically stick to just one type of art, so to open up the limits I…

Seeing Red - Finishing Abandoned Art (Or Why I Don't Throw Anything Away)

Long ago, I’m talking nearly 10 years ago, I had an idea to explore color theory and color psychology through 5 color-themed pieces centered around the 3 primaries, and black and white. I completed the piece representing “White” first to get the most difficult one over with as exemplifying the absence of color in a piece of art is not always so easy, and white in general has to be my least…

Happy Black History Month, & My Favorite American Girl Doll

In the 90s, everyone knew about the American Girl Dolls and accompanying book series. The catalogs came to every home that had a little girl, and I would spend hours pouring over the pages, taking in every detail. I had 2 favorite American Girls: Molly and Addy. I loved Molly because we were identical as you can see, and Addy specifically because we were so different. Even as a child I was…

Happy New Year! Pantone 2025 Color Of The Year Project

This was the first Color Of The Year in awhile where I just kind of said “MEH”. Mocha is a fine color, and actually varying pastel versions of it are all over the walls in the main area of my home as it makes a great backdrop for hung art. Stand alone, it doesn’t really say much. I was determined to still do a Color Of The Year project, as is my tradition, and it turned out a healthy dose of…

Sketchbox All Ink Mystery Unboxing

So far I have only tried Artsnacks as far as art subscription boxes, but when a great sale came up for a huge mystery box through Sketchbox (one of the few times I’ve fallen prey to facebook ads!) I had to try it. See how the materials work, and catch my review of each surprise I received! There was nothing that disappointed, and boxes like these would honestly make great holiday gifts for art…

Crafty Christmas Tutorials

I do wait until Halloween is done at least, but once November hits I feel myself sliding into holly jolly mode and the older I get, the more I enjoy seasonal crafts :P. This year I played around with some fun clay ornaments and even taught a couple of workshops already! I also wanted to take the opportunity to share some other fun holiday demos I’ve done over the years. All of these projects I’ve…
