Custom Illustrations

I had the opportunity to make trio of custom illustrations for a married couple who found me on Etsy, celebrating their relationship and love of dancing. Thanks, Hali White Vargas!

A Cat's View

I would like to sit on the roof with Mr. Cat. We would watch the air balloons float here and there. All day long, without a care. 

One Week

Just one week until Did You Know That I Love You? is in bookstores!

Children's Book Video

I'm bustling around prepping for THIS - we're filming a video for the release of my children's book, Did You Know That I Love You? I can't wait! You can expect to hear about childhood memories, hopes, dreams and see some in-progress paintings and new book art :)

Proud to have my illustrations representing such beautiful, brave young leaders! #microsoft #youthspark #youthsparkstar

Sassy Birds (and friends)

Sleepover

A young Christa and Lancelot the dog have a sleepover. Here's a look at their night.

Book Banner :)

I've put a proper announcement on my website - I am so excited for Did You Know That I Love You? to come out! I can hardly wait until December!

Seattle Infrographic Throwback

I made this info graphic about SPU for a contest in 2013 - looking at it now, I'm still proud.

Oregonian

My 1st children's book is almost here! Feeling happy and grateful to be featured in the Oregonian this week. Talk about surreal! I took a screenshot to capture it - a year ago I would've been shocked to be featured in the Oregonian.

Digital Manipulation flowers

Had a fun afternoon arranging pdfs of watercolor paintings into a new painting - in progress:

Blue Butterflies

Painted for a certain Nammie Graham for mother's day :)

I Love Oregon!

I'm feeling the Oregon love! I wanted to do my own spin on our classic green and white "I love Oregon" symbol. I think  the craft paper, and the charcoal pencil, combined with a simple watercolor/gouache wreath makes for a very Portland, Oregon feel.

In process shot:

and here us a more simple rain-wreath version:

Painting symmetrical botanicals today!
