Painted Furniture



I also enjoy painting and refinishing furniture. I've had fun painting some cute pieces for my kids over the years.

Pet Portraits

I have gotten some of the best reactions to my work from my pet portraits. People love their animals, and I love capturing them on canvas for them!

Custom Wall Art

I recently did an acrylic painting for a friend who's son loves airplanes. I added some Texas touches (longhorn and cactus) to personalize it. And he is convinced that the little blonde head behind the controls is him flying the plane! So much fun to see his excitement when I presented the painting to them.

Watercolors


This summer I was inspired to bring out my watercolors again. I've been really happy with these two works. One is my son playing his guitar. The other is an animator friend with a "creature" from one of his films. I plan on continuing with this style, and am deciding on my next subject!

Pastel portraits over the years



My specialty over the years have been portraits done in soft chalk pastels. My kids are my favorite subject!
