In 2005 my cousin Kelley gave birth to her first baby girl, Avery… and for her baby shower, I painted a simple pink “A” on a yellow canvas with a few little flower details, to hang in the nursery. Avery, now 7, still has her “A” hanging in her room, which makes me a happy …

That’s right, I’m talking about Gossip Girl and if you’re a fan too, I …

In late 2010, if you can remember all the way back then, I placed a wanted ad here on this blog for a Victorian Dog Portrait Artist who would fashion my dogs, LeRoy the French Bulldog and Bebop the Pug, into Regal Victorian portraits. And while I did get quite a few email responses, it …
Last Tuesday, the husband and I braved the 122 degree heat and ventured out into the Coachella Valley and landed upon the Palm Springs Art Museum and were happily greeted with a burst of frigid air and smiling faces as we walked through the doors. What a gorgeous space this museum is. There are four …
Among all the things I wanted to be when I was a child, artist was high on my list… next to ballerina, veterinarian, and fashion &/or interior designer, of course. As I grew up and tried my hand at many things, art and expressing myself through art was still a huge part of who I …
Another random SumbleUpon the other day led me to this really brilliant idea by artist Tyree Callahan who transformed a 1937 typewriter into not only a piece of art in and of itself, but a machine that creates beautiful art as well. He replaced the letters and keys with color pads, which I originally though …

What I’m Wearing* J Brand City Year skinny leg in apache ~ courtesy of J Brand ~ Besides their luxe denim and their amazing fit {and they’re LA based}, what I love about J Brand is their continued support and collaboration with different charities. 100% of net proceeds from these styles will benefit the efforts …
What I’m Wearing I had an entirely different outfit idea in my head but in the morning when it was time to get dressed I just wanted to be comfy. Sometimes I just get lazy. This day was a visual representation of that laziness I suppose. Though casual, I felt kind of “bedazzled”, lol… it …
