Belly Dancer

This project was originally for a travel poster to India. Inspired by the beautiful colors and lights of Diwali, I decided to do belly dance. I may add the text later, but this is the image I have for it so far :)

media used: illustration board, bristol paper, graphite, tissue paper, twine, glass beads, mesh bath sponge, gold leaf paint, glass gel medium, watercolor and acrylic paints.

The Curious Misur Frog

I named this piece "The Curious Misur (Monsieur) Frog" partially in tribute to my late silly teddy bear hamster Buttons who's hair grew so long around his tail it looked like a french man's mustache. The idea for the image itself actually came from another one of my paintings I did about a mystical fairy reading a book. This image was the product of one of those incidents where you see an image within an image. I'm sure glad I found this guy! On this project I experimented with the technique done by Illustrator C.F. Payne and I really enjoyed making it! Hope you like as much as I do :)

This was my first version

Then I spiced it up a little bit later... ;)

Gingerbread Birdhouse

This was just a little gift I did for my grandmother as a late Christmas present. I had the pleasure of making her famous Christmas cookies with her this year. We ended up talking about how she doesn't bake gingerbread me anymore, so I thought of giving one to her. Since she loves birdhouses and cardinals I figured it was the perfect fit! I still need to clean it up a lil bit, but thought I'd share it with you now :) Enjoy!

Turkeys on the loose!!!

I had forgotten to add this piece to my website after I graduated SCAD, and sadly forgot to scan it as well. This piece is about 17x20 and scanners that size are hard to come by. This is just a photograph of it for now. It's a little fuzzy but I hate hiding it. It was based on a childhood memory when my family went up to the Poconos around Halloween and rented a cabin for the week. It was the perfect little cabin tucked away in the woods by a huge lake and we would see frost on the ground and deer eating the apples off the apple trees that were in the front yard early in the morning. One afternoon we had heard this strange sound. As we looked outside there were over 30 wild turkeys running down the street in front of our house. I was about 7 and I've never seen a living turkey in my life, let alone 30 wild ones running down the street! This crazy memory came up and I decided to dedicate a piece of art to it! Enjoy!!
