I wish I could write like this, but she says it better than I ever could. Sometimes life burns you to ashes, and sometimes it’s the best thing that could ever happen…this painting came to me when my world as I knew it completely quit making sense. Suddenly everything I thought was true turned upsideContinue reading “Phoenix Rising”

Inner Wild
“Some days, I’m more wolf than woman and I’m still learning how to stop apologizing for my wild” ~Nikita Gill By about the age of the girl in the painting, our inner child is gone for good. Especially girls, are told to be quiet, be polite, you’re too wild, settle down, be nice, get goodContinue reading “Inner Wild”
The Madness of Mis #2
So here’s the painting that emerged from the sketch in my previous post. I’d been super busy ignoring all the physical signs of burnout. I’d started practicing yoga, and meditating every day, getting up super early, just to fit it in…I’d convinced myself that everything was fine, that it would get better if I justContinue reading “The Madness of Mis #2”
Marilyn Monroe
“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” ~ Marilyn Monroe Marilyn, the epitome of woman, the bombshell…she always supported women and celebrated their successes. She’s been a favorite of mine to paint, and this is my second little painting of her. I’m playing with thick paintContinue reading “Marilyn Monroe”
Going Away
I’m absolutely thrilled to have finished this painting, for the second time. The first time was a little 6″ x 6″ panel that I sold on DailyPaintworks, way too quickly and way too cheaply!

A Little Blue

First the ground, then the sketch, and suddenly I’mContinue reading “A Little Blue”

Into the Dawn
When I was a little girl, I dreamed of horses, I drew horses, I was obsessed with horses. I lived in Quesnel, on a small acreage and I prayed and prayed that one day I could have a horse. When I was 12, my parents told me that I could have a horse if IContinue reading “Into the Dawn”
