My mom's best friend, Linda, had seen some of the mixed-media/collages I had done and asked me to do one for her. She had certain elements she wanted included in the piece. This piece is all about family.
The two trees on the right represent Doug and Linda, the five trees on the left represent Rod, Juleah, Luke, Ava, and Zeke. There are many other hidden meanings behind everything on the piece that made it very meaningful to Linda. She was very happy with the piece.

Mural at Kristi's Barbershop
My sister recently moved to Mooreland, Oklahoma. She is opening a barbershop and asked me to paint a mural for her. This was the first and only mural I have ever painted, so I was nervous. But here are the results.

Art Gallery in a Barbershop
My sister, Kristi, is moving to Mooreland, Oklahoma today. She is starting a new life and opening a new barbershop. She's being gracious enough to let me hang some of my artwork and photography in an extra room she has at the barbershop. I'm actually going to put prices on my work and see if it sells....wish me luck!
The pieces below are what I thought I'd start out with. As always, I still haven't figured out how to photograph my work very well. It looks better in person :).

Birthday Party Invitations
My daughter's friend is having her 16th birthday in a few weeks. She asked me if I could make her invitations for her party. She wanted them to be in lavender, grey, black, and white and wanted them to all be different. Luckily, I only had five to make.
This is how they turned out....

Magnets to Coordinate with "LOVE" Wall Hanging
I painted these magnets in the same colors as the "LOVE" Wall Hanging...hot pink, light pink, and tangerine on an espresso background.
"LOVE" Wall Hanging
Each of the letters on this wall hanging was hand-painted on a 3" x 3" canvas and suspended from a floral ribbon. The background is espresso brown and the letters are hot pink, light pink and tangerine to match the colors of the ribbon. The letters and ribbon are hung on a dowel rod that was painted using a textured metallic paint in a matching color. The final embellishment was to add two decorative flowers at the ends of the dowel rod.
"LOVE" Wall Hanging - $25.00
