Well this is all crazy
Lots of downtime at work, so I just sit and hone my skills. These aren’t meant to make light of the serious situation we are all in right now (although some of the meme’s I’ve been seeing are absolutely hilarious), I just used the situation as inspiration and to help sort through my own confusion […]

2020 Calendar
I was tasked to design the new desktop calendar for my work and I came up with this. Final size is 19.75 x 27.25 “. And only two go-arounds of changes from the “client” (the owner) ! I made my own brush in Illustrator and used it to design the numbers. I’m very pleased with […]

The Queen
A photoshoot that was a year in the making, the Queen of the Hedgehogs. Yes, hedgehogs. I own several and my photographer friend at RRS Photography wanted to do a shoot with me and my eight hogs. Since the suggestion, two passed away, so we had six to work with. It was not easy! I […]

in Memorium
This painting was a new request for me. A family member passed away recently and was cremated. I mixed his ashes with most of the paint and came up with this for his mother. When asked what kind of painting she wanted, she replied “Modern art.” To me, this means a billion different things, but […]

Embroidered and Embellished Hats
I worked in a shop for eight years that had a big industrial embroidery machine. I loved that thing so much. I even risked my job at times to sneak in my own projects with designs I found online. I made bibs, hoodies, shirts… I loved that machine so much I got myself a home […]

This is my childhood friend Cynthia. We lived next to each other for a time and I was friends with her and her sister. I remember doing a lot of things with Cyndi when we were kids. If not for Facebook, we’d never had come in contact with each other again, I’m sure of it. […]

Designs for Beauty Witch
New designs for cosmetologist, Tiffany Rubio. She wanted to change her branding, and came up with “Beauty Witch, let me work my magic”. It instantly reminded me of Bewitched, the 1970’s TV sitcom. I used pictures of Tiffany to shape her into a cartoon.

A fun digital pet art commission ready for Christmas. To quote thy customer: “…They look like some sort of super hero team…” Revisions included. I worked with the client to make it more suitable for the recipient, including altering the overall color to purple, since it’s the recipient’s favorite color. This digital art prints really […]

Pins and Needles Altered Clothing Boutique
A colleague and I started a clothing shop (online only thus far) with the idea of upcycling thrifted clothing and turning clothing rejects into new styles. I designed this logo for our shop. I used thin lines to represent thread and incorporated a needle and a pin. I am thinking about designing an alternate–this time […]

Altered Beauty Studios
This is a design I made for a friend who is in the beauty business. I tried to convey that beauty is colorful, and it also refers to tolerance and equality. Looking back on this design, I see flaws in the font chosen; it is too thin in some areas, which may cause a disconnect […]

Colorado
This is a digital version of an acrylic painting. Golden Open Acrylics are my go-to when canvas painting. This original was donated to a fundraising auction. Prints of digital version available. I love the way Illustrator translated my brush strokes, it makes for its very own version, leaving the original painting truly a one-of-a-kind.
