Ireland 2013-Part 3

So here's another batch of pictures from Ireland, these ones taken at the Cliffs of Moher in the Burren region of County Clare. There really are no words to describe this place, and, I know I've said it before about Ireland, but pictures absolutely do not do it justice. You just can't get a real sense…

Lilla Rogers Global Talent Search

Well, here it is...my final submission for the Lilla Rogers Global Talent Search contest. Whew! I was up pretty late tweaking this, but I'm satisfied with the results. The hardest part of this assignment was narrowing the design down and settling on colors--so many possibilities! I don't usually work in color, so this was…

Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone

For years I've been talking about trying to branch out into other areas with my work--surface design, illustration, package design, etc. My work is pretty graphic, and I think would translate well to a commercial application. People always say to me, 'I could see your work on a t-shirt...or a perfume bottle...or wallpaper, etc., etc.'…

Commissioned Work

I just completed two commission pieces, both related to my new 'Critter' series of bugs and other crawly things. Both pieces are relatively small, and were really satisfying to do, especially because they were each done for someone I really like (which just makes the whole process more fun!) I also enjoyed the challenge of making new 'critters'…

Ireland 2013-Part 2

Part 2 of my Ireland adventure! On our way to the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, we stopped in County Antrim to cross the famous Carrick-A-Rede Rope Bridge. This 66 foot long bridge connects the mainland to the tiny island of Carrickarede, and hangs 98 feet over the rocks below. From a distance, it looks harmless, but once you…

Ireland 2013-Part I

In early May of this year, I fulfilled a life-long dream and took an amazing and life-changing trip to Ireland. The trip was all the more special because I got to share it with my boyfriend, Shawn, my brother and his wife, and one of my best friends. The five of us trekked (well, OK, bussed) all over…

Small Work

Recently, I've been doing a bunch of small pieces, mostly of small mandala-like shapes, or single images, like a moth or a snail. I started doing them to have some smaller pieces to sell, maybe for someone who doesn't want to invest in a larger piece, but would still like something. They have become one of…

Selling Work

While selling work is one of the more gratifying aspects of being an artist, it can also be a bit anxiety inducing, not knowing where these things that you've labored over for weeks and months are. But every now and then, I get the wonderful opportunity to see exactly where my work ends up. Recently, a lovely…

1-Day Painting

Most of my work takes soooooo long to make, sometimes it's nice to be able to knock off a piece in one sitting. A quick trip to Artist & Craftsman Supply this morning for my weekly gel pen fix led me to this really cool hand-made paper, so I bought a couple of sheets, not really knowing…

Vintage Remix

I got the best package in the mail last night--a copy of interior designer Kishani Perera's newly published book, Vintage Remix. This book is filled with beautiful photos of Kishani's bohemian-meets-glam interiors, and also great insights into her inspirations and process. I'm also thrilled that she owns one of my pieces, Spire…

Mary O’Malley’s Decorative Flora and Fauna

by Philip Dennis While Mary O’Malley is obviously deeply inspired by nature, she also mentions ancient and modern decorative arts, architecture, and textile patterns as some of her inspirations. I could look her work forever, but it’s no wonder with it being so easy to get lost in amongst her detailed foliage and lacy flowers. Highlights…
