We went on a photo shoot the other week and I just had to take some pictures of the morning fog. The fog makes everything look so dreamy and surreal. I especially love how the clouds were hanging so lowon the surrounding mountains. Here's a pic of two of the exceptional photographers that I get to work with.The fog eventually cleared and we were off to work on our Spring photo

I happened to stumble upon the artists Robin Kranitzky and Kim Overstreet's website the other week. I was completely charmed and awed by their collaborative works. Their beautiful pieces are completely magical and filled with elaborate and unexpected details. At first I thought they were large sculptural pieces but then I discovered that they were tiny brooches.

Little Boo Peep has lost more than her sheep but where will she find her head? She could look amongst the spools of thread or ask an old friend what she would have said. In order to find herself again I believe the key will be to consult with her old friend Marie. ;) Marie Antoinette clip art image found at

I found myself in Florida the other week but quickly lost myself amid the lovely yet unfamiliar vegetation.

I love tea with cream! That's how we always had it growing up A warm cup of tea really hits the spot and warms the heart, especially at this time of the year when the weather is changing. Oh, Tea with cream!! You're tasty, beautiful, silky and delicious! There's something so comforting about sipping a cup of tea, isn't there? So, how do you like your tea?

Well, I'm back from my magical Minneapolis adventure.

There is something about human expression that I love to capture in my art. When I set out to create a piece, I have to make a connection with the character that is coming to visit me on the page. Emotion needs to come through as the face takes shape, the eyes must speak to me and these characters must make some sort of interesting impression on me. While they are coming to life,

I love earth tones and brown is an especially wonderful neutral earth tone that works in any season and any color scheme. This beautiful rose purse from Anthro is so pretty in this cream color.

I get together once a month with a group of ladies for a altered book round robin. Here is one of the books that I worked on. I did 2 separate spreads. Her book theme was lettering or type. So, anything with interesting fonts, words or letters was acceptable for this book. On this spread I created two doors that opened with secret compartments and messages. These are so much

I recently painted these coffee inspired words onto a clients kitchen soffit. She wanted a simple font, a few coffee cups and viney accents here and there. When I came up with the design for the vines, I wanted to make the leaves mimic the shape of a coffee bean. I like to create subtle or subliminal elements to my art that tie the composition together in a number

My guest bathroom walls had been white for years and I never did anything special in that room. I felt like doing something unique on the walls. So, I turned to our shower curtain for some inspiration. After studying it for a while, I came up with a design inspired by the colors in the curtain and then I free formed it on the wall. I just felt like the walls needed a little something

I'm hoping that I will feel good enough tomorrow so that I can put on my fancy shoes and go out for a little while and do some shopping.

I thought I'd share this image of a photo shoot/room makeover that I worked on while I was on staff at Decorating Ideas magazine. I transformed the entire room based on a number of requests by the homeowners. One of the things that was a high priority for the couple was a storage solution for the room. They asked for something that would fit their wall space without feeling too cumbersome.
