Check out my latest Caricature Commission!

I just finished this recently...had a lot of fun with it! It was commissioned by the Groom--it's his 5 Groomsmen put into a scene from a Frank Sinatra movie---the original piece was 12 x 16 inches and I made 5 prints for him to give each Groomsman.

thanks! i used masking fluid to work on the background, painted it red first, then masked over the lights, then painted over it all again, then removed the masking. it's fun to do. it's this rubbery stuff that dries and you paint over it, and it's removable.

Hi, I am a mom of two boys and from my home studio I run a full-time art business. In order to make a living at it (?!?), I offer a variety of services including fine art portraits, watercolor florals, calligraphy, caricature drawing, murals, book illustration, house portraits, custom framing and bridal bouquet preservation! My favorite commissions and work however are the portraits and watercolor florals. In 2006, I illustrated a children's book called The Model Maker: A World War II Veteran's Story.

Over the past months I have become interested in Threadless, it has proven quite addictive! I keep trying different types of designs to see how they will do...it gives me something fun and different to do on the weekends when my kids are gone and I have time on my hands. I previously had not done much pen and ink work of the type I am doing in some of my recent Threadless designs, so I am really enjoying this new medium and am incorporating what I am learning into various aspects of my other commissioned work. I feel like I am learning new things about illustration and design, and that is exciting to me as an artist! I like having my t-shirt versions, and then the large hand-done originals which I can have fun with finishing off in brilliant watercolor washes, not limited to 5 colors with no gradients:) !

I hope you enjoy my work, and I hope to interact more and more within the Threadless community over time. If you would like to visit my website, it is:
