Hog, Frog, Dragonfly!

This piece was inspired by a book that Scholastic published long ago -- "Small Pig." In the story, the pig decides to leave the farm and spends a short time in a swamp! Anyway, the story made a profound impression on me, so I decided to make my own little rendition!!

Alice in Wonderland - Caterpillar


This piece was inspired by the caterpillar scene in Alice in Wonderland. I invite you become Alice as you peek into my little "subterranean, wonderland world." I think the bright colors of the mushrooms stand out perfectly against the green and purple vines.

I have been working on this piece since Feb 23rd and just finished it. It was painted in Corel Painter using wet brush acrylics.

I am looking forward to donating a framed print to The Matthew's House here in Fort Collins as a fundraiser piece at the Spring Garden Gala in May.

Cow


I think I'd love to illustrate a book in this style. Maybe one about animals in a zoo!!

Pig


I'm working on a new style of animals. I'm really enjoying this! This is a great way to produce coloring pages for kids too! Check out my website to find coloring pages for the little ones in your life!
