New watercolor piece inspired by library life.
The Librarian
Free Classes This Winter!
I have two fantastic art programs I’m bringing to local northeast libraries. And because they’re offered through the public library they’re FREE.
Wine & Watercolor: On Thursday, January 19th adults age 21 and over are invited to come to the Delaware City Library for watercolor painting and beverages. Treat yourself after the tiring holiday season of shopping and in-laws! Please call the library at 302-834-4148 to register.
Valentine’s Day Silhouette Cutting with Chocolate: Celebrate Valentine’s Day with the classic art of paper silhouette cutting at the Rising Sun Library in Rising Sun, Maryland. To make Valentine’s Day even sweeter, those who attend will receive complimentary chocolate. Saturday, February 4th. 1-2PM.
I leave you with a drawing.
Home is Where the Art Is
Many moons ago I teamed up with musician Alphane Reality Generator for the album Nature of my Circuitry. I made the cover art for the album. Years later he decided he had to own the original image, a mixed media piece in pastel and paper cutouts. Upon a recent visit I saw it’s home. As most artists will tell you their pieces are like their children. Even when selling a painting it feels like losing a part of yourself. It’s wonderful to see your children adopted into good homes.
New Paintings Available in the Shop
I have 2 paintings from the January Month of Macabre series available in the shop. “The Power of the Sea” and “My Blue Angel” need new homes.
My Blue Angel, pen, acrylic, prayer book pages on 6×6″ canvas. Original available for purchase.
Acrylic over decorative tissue paper on mounted 6×6″ canvas. Original has been sold.

Top Sekret Project Revealed!
If you’ve been following my social media you’ll know I’ve been not so subtly hinting at a top sekret project. Well, after a week it’s time to unveil it. I’ve partnered up with the Ole Tapas Lounge food truck for a fun mural. It will be on display in Delaware and Pennsylvania. This girl, I’m going to name her Taurus, will be there for photo op’s for a donation benefiting charities at each event. If you spot her upload your pictures to her to Facebook for a chance to win an Ole Tapas Lounge gift card.
Here is the next upcoming event:
Sunday, September 11th: Maaco of Mayfair Charity Car Show in Philadelphia. Proceeds of donations to benefit Children’s Miracle Network.
More events with Taurus will be posted soon. Keeps your eye on my social media for more.
New Sketch + News!!
New sketch! She’s titled “Modern Art Girl.” She’s inspired by new wave fashion. 
And on to the news. I’m working on a top sekret project in conjunction with Ole Tapas restaurant that will be shown at benefit events for Paws for People and Children’s Miracle Network. And that’s not all! This winter I’ll also be bringing exciting new silhouette and wine & watercolor classes to the libraries. Keep your eyes peeled (figuratively speaking, of course) here for more.
Sunrise, Sunset
A new watercolor piece has come to life.
Title: Sunrise, Sunset
Watercolor on 11×14″ paper
Dangerous Liaisons
A crayon and ink piece that began as a doodle turned into a fun collaboration with Euclidean Brewery. She became the basis of a label for Dangerous Liaisons, a hoppy saison.

January: Month of Macabre
In January I worked furiously to complete the draw-a-day project to be featured at a local gallery for First Friday. Family health issues prevented me from being able to show the work. However, there are some pieces I really love, and I want to share. So without further adieu I present an online gallery show of some of my favorite pieces from my 31 Days of Macabre series. Each piece is 6×6 inches and was completed in a day.
