My studio is my zen bubble. I illustrated this using white and black charcoal, plus white acrylic highlights on a 12" X 12" canvas, from a photo by Jennifer Alexander. 🦋🦋🦋

My niece requested that I paint the Hulk on a pair of new Converses she bought for her then-boyfriend's Christmas gift (now husband). I used multi-surface acrylic paint - fyi, no money was exchanged.

Saw this little guy on our dock and he looked like how I feel almost every day now - the pause before reading the news, holding my breath, thinking what now? before taking in the next headline. Not looking forward to another 4 years of this and hoping we hold strong. 💙💙💙

A friend's pupper crossed the Rainbow Bridge and requested that I work up a portrait. Favorite subject, favorite medium. 😊🧡🐕✏️

Creating is in my blood. 🎨🖼 It's just sometimes hard to make a living at it. 30+ year teacher-helper, children's educational illustrator here. Now I create just for me.

My 4:30 a.m. set-up before I get ready for work. My dad always told me to always keep learning. I am, Dad, I am. 😊🥰❤️

Took a ho-hum picture hanging in a hallway at work that was headed for the trash and lit it on fire - using pastels, charcoal pencils, and acrylic paint. My boss hung it in the lobby. 😊
