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.

Portland Rain (Magical Properties)

I went to Las Vegas this week - which was fun - but which fully convinced me that I belong in Portland, Oregon. This little painting is one of my odes to magical, beautiful Portland.

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.
