FAQs

What’s your background?
Good question.  Most of that info can be found in my Bio page.

How do you work?
My process starts with research, computer/digital mockups, acrylic paints on paper or wood panels, then often embellishing the canvas and art with decretive papers, and other techniques.

I saw your name on art in T.J.Maxx.  Is that really you?
It is!  I have worked for Colleen Karis Designs of Los Angeles, CA  since 2010.  She hires me to create artwork for her company, and creates prints for sale at T.J.Maxx from them. 

I'd like to buy some of your art I saw in T.J.Maxx.
That's great!  I'm thankful that you like it!  Unfortunately, I creat that art for Colleen Karis Designs of Los Angeles, CA and I have nothing to do with it after I create the art.  But you are welcome to reach out to Coleen's company if you like and let her know you like my art!  She can be reached at:

Do you make donations of your art?
I love to donate to many causes, and do every year... but I actually receive almost one request every day, and sadly I just can't donate to every cause that requests this.  I hope you can understand.
I've very thankful that you might be loving and supportive of my artwork, and I know that your cause is a game changer, but unfortunately I just can't donate to every request.

What jobs have you done other than being an artist? 
Right out of college I was a textile designer in the interior and fashion worlds.

What memorable responses have you had to your work?
I always love hearing responses that my artwork has touched someone else, and its kind of funny to hear the stories that they bring to my pieces.

What food, drink, song inspires you?
Trail mix is always near by, and i enjoy lots of different types of music while I paint.  Coffee is usually involved as well.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve been given?
Always keep creating.

Do you do commissioned work?
I have done commissioned work in the past, however with the growth of my family, commissioned works are limited at this time.  I always have one or two in progress, but they often take a long time to complete.  You can inquire as to if I am currently taking projects on, but please understand that I do not take on many.

Do you participate in Art Shows?
Over the course of my career I have participated in art shows all over the country, but at this time I do not.
