life

Playing with some experimental media while drawing from life with my students last spring. Gearing up for new sessions in a couple weeks.

Live in peace!

My Illustrated giraffe used flora and fauna to create the patterns on the giraffe. Drawn with pen and ink, he was great fun to produce!

My Illustrated Alphabet letters were born out of a project in 2016. Each was drawn with pen & ink and each letter is illustrated with either an object, flora, fauna or wildlife that begins with that letter.

An Illustration born out of my love for rabbits! Drawn with pen & ink the bunnies are at home in their woodland environment!

My illustrated Bunny is detailed with wild flowers, flora and fauna and drawn using pen & ink.

A few of my favorite pages from my sketchbook documenting my trip to China in the summer of 2017. An amazing and life changing experience.

Quirky Botanicals and Friends Colouring Book. My first colouring book, all hand-drawn illustrations that started off as doodles -- as a way of destressing and relaxing, taking breaks from 'real life' and work. My form of joyful creative therapy! It's available at Amazon worldwide and Barnes and Noble online.

This piece began as a multi-colored abstract . . . but it was nowhere . . . nothing . . . and had no essence. So, I tried to take it in the direction of a landscape . . . and that was horrible. I gave the entire piece a whitewash using a white acrylic paint pen. And then the idea popped into my head to Doodle over the colored background. The title reflects the fact that the piece only came to life with the addition of the Doodles . . .

A badger with a geometric design mirrored by a small still life with a pocket knife, child's pacifier and a book of Haiku.

This was the last piece in my #dishlife series for Inktober this year.

"What's the Buzz"? Bringing old, discarded and forgotten stuff back to life!

One of the students from my lifedrawing class, I have a tendency to draw the other artists in the room and not the model. #drawing #lifedrawing #sketching #tonedpaper #lifemodels #prismacolor #prismacolorpencil #saddbackcollege #saddlebackarts #drawingfro

I came, I saw, I ate tacos. Watercolor tacos for life. :D

Here's a floppy disk I recently painted. I love bringing old, discarded and forgotten stuff back to life.

This is my character Herbert. A robot learning to be human. @herbertssliceoflife and he loves The Wizard Of Oz

This is a doodle I made to show the journey of life.
