I made a postcard a few weeks ago that was mailed out to all DC Metro followers announcing the Cocktails & Canvases events (head's up one this Saturday) and the Open Studio event I'll be hosting with Stella and Dot on Nov. 16. Loved using the logo CooperHouse created for me earlier in the Spring. I always mail a copy to myself so I get to see what it ended up looking like after creating it. It's fun [...]
It's a doggy dog world here in the studio. I'm currently working on the third dog portrait in a row and I couldn't be happier. They are just all so stinkin' cute! Can't wait to share the finished versions of these soon (except the last pup is a Christmas gift so he has to wait his turn). After taking inventory the other day I realized I was running low on notecards... and here's the glamorous side of the [...]

We’ve seen the AFTER photos of how the powder room turned out (LOVE!), and the inspirational photos for this powder room, so let’s dive deeper into that gallery wall.

I thought why not put them all up in the powder room where our [...]

When you think of that perfect studio with lots of space and light, packed with paintings leaning against each other everywhere, works in progress on several easels and a lovely sofa to rest a tired back – yup she has it. It’s gorgeous. And of course, she [...]
It has been a long time coming and I’m ready to announce that I’m expanding the studio to include individual healing sessions! If you’ve followed me for a while it comes as no surprise to you as I’ve shared my studies with Master Healers Colette Chase and Cherie Young on the blog. I talk frequently about connecting with energies and intuition through my art, and how healing and my art is very much one. Art customers have shared how [...]
