Buffalo Girl

I am so so happy with how this one turned out!

She is on display at The Paper Place on Queen West in Toronto!

Her buffalo costume is nothing but scraps and bits of fabric sewn onto Japanese paper with ink, pencil and acrylic paint.

Busy Day Post 2!

finger paints are a ridiculous amount of fun but a ridiculous amount of mess especially when you use oil paints!

Its Just A Costume

As pretty as this girls dress is, her wolf costume scared too many people. 

Available for custom color purchase here

Nest Hair

This girl thinks a birds nest would look fabulous as a hat. I agree.

Playing With Display

One of my many weaknesses is photography, especially when it comes to photographing my artwork. My friend Andrew is coming by this week to help me learn my camera and photoshop...I hope to have new worlds open up to me!

Meanwhile I have been playing with display. What do you think?

Im Back!!!

Phew! Last week was crazy! I finished up my last days at work, and now I am ready to throw myself into this blog and my artwork full time. 

I have been branching out a bit lately with some pieces that are more portraiture than mixed media. I used to paint portraits quite a bit when I was a teenager and I am really loving getting back into it. 

The following are works in progress, but I thought I would share their process so far. 

The girl with the books on her head is being created for a charity auction for Red Seven 

They are working to raise $12,000 to build a primary school for children in Lai Gow, India and will be auctioning off my work for the cause. Go here to buy tickets! I hope to see you there.
