Happy New Collectors! 🎨 Serendipity led me to these mixed media window paintings—a delightful exercise in restraint. Known for my kaleidoscope of colors, these pieces offer a more toned-down vibe. Thrilled that Gonzo and Amy now own works from both worlds. Check out the versatile display options in my recent reel. And see more available paintings HERE.

Warning: You might need tissues (according to the folks on Facebook who watched it already). I am humbled and grateful to have had my work and message captured so beautifully by Enero J. Ray and Chad Fedler of Touchvision. This was edited down from a 40 minute interview with me as well as a visit from my client Claire and her pups Medi and Tula. We also took a field trip over to the new Urban Pooch Canine Training Center to get some footage of the new mural I designed. What a gift to have this tribute to my pups Izzy and Alice who were such an integral part of growing my art business and inspiring me to get involved with addressing the Homeless Pet situation so prevalent in our society.

Fun to recently receive these photos of the Pierce Family's collection. I created this narrative 4 piece commission back in 2005. Each panel of this narrative quadriptych featured cities and significant life events in those locales. If this interests you, see more at this link, they make for incredibly memorable gifts!
This piece is from my dream flyer series back in the late 90's early 2000's...vintage ALF! So delightful to see where my work resides, and what a gorgeous home!
Happy Customers!

It's been a crazy, exhausting, and very fun last couple of weeks! Shows in bitter temps, and snow...but folks still came out and supported us. I'm happy to say I had my best One of a Kind Show, ever...I left with 23 Pet Portrait Orders! Luckily not all were Holiday Orders...I'm so grateful and excited that my new Personalized Portraits seem to be a hit. Here are some photos from One of a Kind and the Chicago Art Girls 2nd Annual Holiday Pop up Shop, last weekend.

Some fun shots from the Bucktown Arts Fest...it was a beautiful weekend, so fun to connect with friends and customers old and new! This was my debut show in the art fair world, 18 years ago...1995. My, how time flies! I had an unfortunate incident towards the end of the day Sunday, my temporary crown on my front tooth came off! I was mortified, but in the end it made for a lot of giggling and laughing with artist friends and customers...and it was very sweet when a little girl showed me her lack of '2' front teeth...what was I complaining about?! This is me being brave, posting on the internets...here I am, in all my hillbilly glory:
