With grad class on hold and winter break in session from school, I have managed to do some of my own artwork. At any given time I have a minimum of five projects going, absolutely filling my brain and art room. This is a painting I did for my sister, as a Christmas present. IContinue reading “Balancing Act”

Autumn Gardening
September (and half of October) has flown by – that will happen when most of your week is busy with school, family, and grad work. I have a short break between classes right now, so I’m in frantic finish some projects mode. Earlier in September, we harvested a 22 pound moon and stars watermelon fromContinue reading “Autumn Gardening “
Iowa Skies + Batman Piñata
My most recent finished watercolor, started just before our trip to Alexandria, MN – based on an Instagram photo I took a few years ago of baby blankets drying on the clothesline. This summer has been flying by – we have all been making time for creating which leaves me happier than anything else atContinue reading “Iowa Skies + Batman Piñata”
New Artwork
I finally finished an artwork that I made for a coworker’s nursery. She sent me some color requests – pinks and grays, 2 quotes she liked and a general idea for the artworks. I got to work, slowly, much more slowly than normal. But, hey, it was a busy spring for me. The quotes areContinue reading “New Artwork”
New Series -Things With Wheels
I am really excited about this new series I have started, for a couple reasons. 1. It’s whimsical, fun, and lighthearted.

I discovered the best all-around craft and artContinue reading “Underground”

I made this fun little stamp a couple weekends ago while Greta was working on her bicycle and heart print. Or was that last weekend? I don’t know…this time ofContinue reading “Valentines 2016”
A book is a dream…
I make so many false starts when I make art. I don’t document then very often, as I usually recycle them, squish them, paint over them, or hand them off to my children to tear and cut up into collages. This time, I decided to give the false start away with the finalized artwork. IContinue reading “A book is a dream…”
Ich Liebe Dich
I will be an aunt again soon – but this time it will be a nephew arriving! So, of course I started on some more baby room art. Nothing like a deadline to make me complete artwork – I love being forced to work. This time around, I took a different approach, and strayed awayContinue reading “Ich Liebe Dich”
Roots Watercolor Painting
I finally finished my most current watercolor painting, Roots of Motherhood.” It’s one of the first large artworks I’ve done in quite some time, at a whole 22 x 30″. I have been working on it since March, slowly plugging away on it whenever I carve out the time. In other words, after children areContinue reading “Roots Watercolor Painting”
