This is one of my newest mixed media ladies and I have to say I am loving her.


I don't know where she's going quite yet, I started her without a concept but I'll get there.

Cutting Out The Colour

One of my favourite parts of making my images is the part where I releash the image from it's paper suuroundings, it's a delicate somewhat time consuming process sometimes but it's meditative too.


It goes much more smoothly when I work on a thin less textured paper which I tend to use for these butterflies because they are so small.  I always get a few colored & cut out before I get them onto their backgrounds.

A Pretty Bird

I love doing birds...so here's the first one of 2018...
the feather work is complicated so I am going gently, letting the colours lead me slowly...
this one is in Polychromos on stonehenge, a heavenly mix.


I think I might try something totally new for me, which is to leave the background white...
'What, you may ask'! ha ha, I know, it'll be a first and it'll be different because I am soooo used to filling in the background with colours as bright as the main part but I think for this one it'll be right.

Fiarella/Flynn

I was just looking at this older piece of mine called Fiarella
(prints are in my shop if your liking her)
She's still one of my favorite pieces done in the past few years...


My inspiration for her came when I was trying to imagine what Flynn's grandma would look like


I am so grateful that my inspiration for my art & stories
is so abundant throughout our home every single day...
these little rescues of ours are everything good and amazing.
