How would you celebrate the journey of your growing family?
For the last 3 years I have had the privilege of painting 17 (and counting) couple’s weddings as they begin the adventures of life together. As you can image many of my beautiful patrons have begun to grow their families as the chapters in their stories unfold. This sparked my inspiration to begin capturing the budding of young families in the timeless tradition of painting.
Fine Artist - Talented or Dedicated?
Fine Artist - Talented or Dedicated?
“I am certainly not finished studying, I will never stop honing my technical skills in draftsmanship, anatomy, painting, perspective, color theory and so much more…
My goal is that every piece of art I create should be of a higher quality than the one before. Every piece of artwork is a glorious struggle because I push myself to take the work further so I can get better.”
How Memories are Created
How Memories are Created… Is it a dream or a memory?
If it’s a dream then imagine with me… That one part of your wedding that you are the most excited about, getting ready, the ceremony, the meal, the dancing, the honeymoon. Imagine that moment caught in dashes of color on canvas. As your wedding turns into marriage and your memory turns into the highlight reel, what if you had an original piece of art, unique to your day, your marriage and your life that will stand the test of time. A modern heirloom that will leave a lasting mark on future generations.
The Power of Exceptional Tools
I decided to invest in the Rosemary & Co brushes (I own more than 10 now). I can say for my own work these brushes have been a dream to paint with!
In the Beginning . . .
. . . After a hiatus of about 8 years, “trying” to operate outside of my passion and natural skill set, I am pursuing the endeavor that I have always known in my heart is my calling. Now I am pursuing it with the passion and determination I had when I was four trying to draw a perfect heart.
