This painting was started in the spring, shortly after I visited a goat farm owned by a family friend in Petersham. These girls were huddled together on the chilly day in a small shed, and I snapped their picture for this painting. I love that they looked happy, even on a dreary day! This piece is a whopping 40″ x 30″.

Finished this panoramic painting of my girl, Sam. I LOVE long weekends, spending the extra day in the studio. Bonus: it was a rainy day – the BEST kind of studio day!

UPDATE: This piece was accepted into the inaugural Northeast Fine Arts Exhibit in Ware, on display through the end of October!

Pressed flower stationery in its final stages, ready to sell at Dandelions Artisan Gift Shop in Barre, MA. Dried flowers and herbs are featured on these delicately layered creations, and packaged individually with a colored envelope. The multi-step process used to create these note cards is worth the effort. The end results are unique works of art–no two are the same!

This group enjoyed a warm summer afternoon in the studio, painting birdhouses and eating pizza! Bridget decided then and there that someday she wanted her own art studio. Memories MADE!

This was finished a while ago, and she’s been waiting patiently in the studio to be posted on the website. This is the third (or fifth if the chick-tych counts as three) in a fun barnyard series I’ve been pecking away at. Goats are in progress (40″ x 30″ canvas) and there’s a big rabbit waiting in the wings! Stay tuned!

A special fundraiser project

For a limited time, I will be accepting orders for custom mini paintings of your pet, with all proceeds being donated to the UMass Memorial Cancer Center for Excellence.

Last week’s marathon studio sessions enabled me to push this series over the finish line. Next up… SHEEP!

A February studio-cation is off to a productive start. This series of chicken paintings was started a few weeks ago, and is now well on its way to being finished!

Sometimes, you just have to play! These paper mache love birds were started years ago, and had been sitting on a shelf in the studio. Last weekend they were finished off with paint, feathers and wooden elements, and dropped off to sell at my favorite local shop – just in time for Valentine’s Day!
