gma tote

After a lot of time traveling for the Holidays (including a lengthy cruise in the Caribbean with my boyfriend's family), I am back and ready to post some stuff! I'll try to space it out though... I like to keep you in suspense.

For Christmas, I decided to create a unique tote bag for my grandmother. I call her "g-ma" - I don't really know why, probably just because the family likes to abbreviate and be cutesy like that. I used Zazzle to create this tote and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

Sailboat on Lake George


5x7 watercolor in 11x14 mat, $50

This is another watercolor done from a photo I snapped while sailing on Lake George with my dad. I'm pretty sure it was the same trip where I snapped the photo for this painting.

I think it's safe to say that Lake George is my muse. I'm so Georgia O'Keefe.

Prints are available through ImageKind for as little as 8.49!

Harp


This painting was commissioned by a friend for her sister and her husband who just had their first baby. They named their baby Harp after the instrument that was played in their wedding, but I’m sure it isn’t a coincidence that it’s also the name of a beer. The proud daddy owns a beer outlet in New York City. Hopefully they display it there and not in the baby’s room!

Publicity is good


If it isn't completely obvious by the giant scrolling sidebar on the right side of this page, I have prints of my artwork available through ImageKind.com. Today I was featured on their homepage! I don't know how long it will be up so check it out while you can. They are featuring the illustration I did of my dad playing the cello.

Dear cello enthusiasts: I am aware that his arm is not in the proper position. I stylized it because I'm an artist and I just can.

Thanks for stopping by!

Post-it note art


I had a hankering for drawing at work one day so I started drawing some random stuff. Here are some examples. I drew the elephant like 15 times - each time i just did it in a few seconds. Lesson learned: elephants are hard to draw.

Downtown LA


SOLD

This was painted from a photo I snapped while at the Griffith Observatory. I think it's safe to say this is pretty impressionistic.

This is another 5x7 and is a combination of watercolor, pen, and gouache.

Foreboding sky over Lake George



SOLD

This is a watercolor I did from one of my favorite photos I have taken of Lake George. I was out with my dad on his sailboat as a storm blew in from the north. We were anxiously trying to head back to the boathouse at Silver Bay before the rain came. While my dad was busy jibbing and tagging, I was snapping photos of the beautiful sky. We made it back just as the rain started to come down.

This is a 5x7 watercolor; still trying to get my skills honed in this medium.
