Pet Portraits for Editor’s Choice!

{Posted in Donations, Giveaway ~ October 17th, 2011}

I have exciting news! The Daily Corgi (one of my very favorite blogs) is hosting their annual Halloween costume contest and I’m proud to be offering the Editor’s Choice prize this year!

The Daily Corgi is a place for all things corgi, from Pembroke to Cardigan, mixes and more. Our pup, Pocket entered the costume contest last year: she went as a chicken, which she already thought she was. I made the costume for her and she loved wearing it as much as we loved looking at her in it. She didn’t win the contest, but we’re not sore losers at all. I’m offering a 5×7 custom pet portrait for the lucky winner (and his/her human). Choose from a finished illustration style, or a more whimsical and sketchy style. The prize can also be used to apply towards a more expensive purchase (such as an 8×10 or 11×14). Below are illustrations 1. of my horse, Misty and dog, Amber: both deceased and 2. our little Pocket pup.

Choose from a tight, outlined style

Or choose a more sketchy and whimsical style

I’m also proud to announce that I’ll be donating $5 to benefit Corgi Aid from every purchased referred from the Daily Corgi until the end of the year. So check out the blog, enter your furry friend and I hope you’re the winner! If not, be sure and get that promo code to use for your next purchase and help out some corgis in need. Get on over there and check it out! (Even if you don’t have a corgi to dress up, it’s worth checking it out)

Art Sale and Auction!

{Posted in Fine Art ~ April 20th, 2011}

Exciting news – my husband and I are moving back to Oregon! Woo hoo! In an attempt to reduce the amount of artwork I have to pack and ship, while also increasing my bank account to help pad the woes of driving a 9 mile per gallon moving van across 5 or so states, I’m happy to announce an online art sale and auction!  Bidding will be open until June 3rd, followed by an in person art sale at my home studio for local friends and clients. Anyone in the continental USA is invited to bid, shipping will be added at cost with no ‘handling fee.’   I have oil paintings, prints, original illustrations and more ready to find a new home!

I will do my best to post images of the art in the next few ‘news’ posts with comments enabled to facilitate the bidding. All bids start at $10 – a massive value for original and sometimes framed artwork!

Happy viewing, happy bidding, and thank you so much for supporting the arts and artists like me!

Things have been pretty crazy in this here studio lately. I’ve been really vamping up my soap making business: Nude Soap! It’s pretty awesome, smells great, and is getting more legit every day. I’m still working on brainstorming more ecommerce and marketing strategies, but the recipes have been honed and i’m super clean :)

Focusing on that business tends to distract me from this one, however. So i’ll be focusing on some new projects at the drafting table soon. I’m excited to announce pet portraits and MURALS to be added to my repertoire very soon. As always, i’ll provide original artwork at budget prices to liven up the lives of my clients and their children (or pets!).

In other exciting news: Snackit Adventures: Bedtime Snackit is just about finished! I have the proofs and they look great, so watch Amazon.com for the arrival of a super fun book about bedtime snacks and and the critters who thieve them. I’ll be posting interior illustrations here soon as well, so come on back and check it out!

Wedding Gifts, Holiday Cards – Now Taking Orders for MORE Than Just Nursery Art

{Posted in Fine Art ~ January 14th, 2011}

It has always been my goal to bring joy and beauty to as many homes as possible, and i’m happy to announce that I am now actively seeking commissions for customized holiday cards, gifts, and more.
Wedding showers are just as good as baby showers, and just as easy to get caught up buying the ‘same old, same old.’ Fine art is always a perfect gift, especially when it captures your recipient’s personality and acts as a memento of their wedding date. You may be hesitant to invest in a painting or more elaborate work of art, but anyone could afford to commission a personalized 8×10 for the happy couple. At just $65, you get a piece of signed, original art, completely customized (I can even match their wedding theme or colors!) for the couple, and include FREE SHIPPING plus a 10% off coupon good towards future purchases for yourself or your recipient.
Who knows, maybe they’ll be ordering a baby name piece sooner than they think :)

Commissioned Wedding Gift - NOW TAKING ORDERS FOR ALL OCCASIONS!

I am also happy to create original art cards for the upcoming holidays. Nothing says “I love you” more than a personalized Valentine’s Day card suitable for framing to swoon over for years to come. Hurry! The big romantic holiday is approaching fast!
