Monarch

A new little painting... Monarch. This is a mini study for a larger series I want to

do for children's rooms. Enjoy!

Magritte Sings For His Breakfast

Juliette Ober is another artist I just discovered. I'm so attracted to Magritte Sings For His Breakfast... so yummy. Ober says she likes to paint like she's icing a cake with thick, creamy brushstrokes. Well, I could certainly take a bite out of this doughnut! Be sure to check out her website and Etsy shop!

A Few Paintings at C'est Moi

These five paintings are now available in Chicago at C'est Moi, 2129 North Damen Ave in Bucktown! I'm thrilled to have my art featured in such a fun shoppe, among fabulous bedding from the Pine Cone Hill Collection, colorful rugs from Company C, throws by David Fussenegger, and tons of other fun accessories and home decor must-haves. Thanks Anne! (P.S. I'm also glad you can finally see them in person... my amateur photography never does them justice!)

Another Little Beauty

I just came across Shanna Murray's Etsy shop and I love her handmade items. The way she photographs them is so fresh and crisp as well. I'll be visiting quite 0ften, I'm sure!


P.S. I received 'Rainy Day Games' from Catherine Campbell in Australia today and she's even more lovely in person!

Two New Paintings... experimenting with thread

'These Rainy Days' is inspired by the week of rain and storms we recently had in Chicago. Lately I've been experimenting with sewing thread into some of my work, as I did here (over the three middle circles and up the left side of the stripes). I like the subtle texture it adds to this combo of watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil and ink!

'Tooty Fruity' is just a fun little vintage-inspired piece, incorporating a recipe for fruit sauce from an old book, and finished off with watercolors, acrylics, and lime green thread.

A Tiny Beauty... and she's all mine

I'm so excited about my latest purchase from Australian illustrator Catherine Campbell. I've had my eye on prints and originals from her shop My Folk Lover for a while. She listed an original today that I just had to have. Her illustrations are very delicate, yet full of color and texture. Here's the little lady I'm waiting for...

This sweet set of prints is available in her shop...

Recent Etsy Find: Sara Paloma's Pottery

I came across Sara Paloma's Etsy site and loved her simple, interesting pottery. I can see these pieces mixing well with any type of decor, with their organic forms and restful colors.

Angie Lewin, Printmaker

I love the work of UK printmaker Angie Lewin. Her prints are light-hearted and fun, with a vintage touch. I can imagine them inspiring whole rooms. Check out her website to view her online gallery!
