News — Art in Progress

Is it just me, or is this summer totally flying by wayyyyy too quickly? I feel like I say that each and every year. Even so, somehow we have already reached August! I took a little time to regroup during the Fourth of July holiday here and prepare for some new things I was working on, as well as a move to a new home I’m making this week. After taking a few weeks away from the studio and computer I was totally itching to get back to work. Funny how things work like that! A while back I began...

Well hello there! I’ve been a little quiet lately as I’ve been working super hard on some new artwork. When I get into the groove of creating I kind of retreat into my own world. I like to reflect on my work with a lot of alone time – that’s how my best ideas come to me. Since releasing my last two collections, The Monterey Swell and La Jolla Breeze, I’ve taken some time to continue to hone my style and push my work in a direction that feels great for me. As I discussed in my last blog post,...

Wow, it’s been a while! I haven’t posted any new artwork since the end of February. For me, that’s an incredibly long time to go without sharing any of my new designs. But it’s all been for good reason… Over the past few months I’ve taken some time to really figure out what I want from my artwork and how it is seen in the world. December through the beginning of February was an absolutely insane time period for me, as holiday sales and prepping for two big licensing shows monopolized the majority of my working day. Once everything calmed...

Since I began selling my artwork in late 2014, I’ve experimented with dozens upon dozens of styles and techniques with my work. While I used to gravitate solely towards very painterly oil and acrylic paintings, I also began exploring other mediums – like watercolors, pencil, inks and markers. Over the past year or two I felt like I was jumping around style-wise a bit too much. So, late last year, I took a long, hard look at the work I currently have for sale. I saw themes in what spoke to me the most – beautiful abstract paintings and line...

First off, can I just say how absolutely excited I am to be offering new work again!? The last time I posted any of my new pieces was in October. Suffice to say it has most certainly been too long! The late fall and early winter brought a whole bunch of (good) craziness with the holiday rush and preparing for some big trade and licensing shows. All of that died down in late January and finally gave me a chance to go over the work I’ve produced over the past few months. One of my favorite collections that I did...
