B Young and Free Event!

The opening night of B Young and Free at Free People had a great turn out! Many friends, family and visitors came to hang out and enjoy the ambiance. I was truly blessed to have a chance to show my art in one of my favorite clothing stores! Thank you to everyone who came and was a part of the night! 

A fellow blogger made an appearance at the show and wrote about the night! Check them out! Link ->LNO- Last Night's Outfit

A Forever Friend

reference picture on right

I was commissioned by my sister to paint a portrait of their dear friend's dog. I was excited to do it and I finished that night! A few months later the dog passed away. I am grateful to have an impact and help them remember their beloved companion and friend. I don't know where I would be without my furry friend either! 

I would love to capture your pet or a pet you may know! Contact me by email about prices, sizes, paint or graphite.

Second art show & a surprise!

My second art show at the Ella Sharp Museum was alright. It turned out to be a beautiful day! Matt and I got there early to set up the tent and make sure everything was in it's place until the festival started at 11am. The day went on and it seemed as if the wine & art festival was more a wine and beer festival and the art was just a pleasant entertainment to look at. I guess I can't speak for all the artist because it seemed that the lady's next to us were selling jewelry pretty well, but I did ok and I will hopefully do better next time! I am hoping Arizona will be a good place to sell animal illustrations! :)

On a better note I had a pleasant surprise from my sister, Amber, who made my weekend and day even better! Thank you to my Mom and Dad who came as well! They would never miss a show! 

Well enjoy some pictures!

my pleasant surprise! 

Excited for my 2nd art show!

June 11th is coming up! I will be one of the artist's in the 7th annual Art & Wine Festival located at Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson, MI! 

I can't wait for it! I already set up my tent to see what it looks like and I have been accumulating stuff for my display and finishing up art pieces! Never have been more prepared I feel. 

But do not forget that I still have magnets and coasters that you can purchase at Chai Boutique in Grand Rapids and magnets and wolf t-shirts at Paperdoll in Rockford!

Wine & Art Festival coming soon!!
