They are printed with archival ink on high quality, acid free, alpha cellulose lignin free textured fine art paper made [...]
I have white dresses, sparkling shoes and bridal flowers on my mind! This week, Sweden's Crown Princess is getting married and boy is it more than a family affair!

I realize we've seen a lot of pink ribbons lately and all cancer awareness is amazing, but let's give it up for the purple ribbon this month. I decided earlier this year to donate 5% of all the proceeds from my paintings to [...]

Their lovely family dog was growing older and [...]
{You can see me and this painting this Sat-Mon at the Kipona Artfest in Harrisburg Riverfront Park in Pennsylvania.} My large hibiscus painting is finally done. It managed to survive an earthquake, hurricane and my horrible back and I'm so happy it did because I absolutely love it. What a statement piece. It's so dynamic, so alive, and so very tropical! Like my aunt (-in-law) said, it's "pure sunshine in a flower," hence the name, and who doesn't [...]
