Art Update

So much has happened this month. I finally launched my online store! Still working on the layout and such, but it works! I am also happy to announce that I now have my work for sale at Bay View Bark. 20% of each sale goes to them or a charity of their choice.  http://www.bayviewbark.com/   I am really excited to work with local businesses and pet rescues. Through them I sell my work and of course a percentage goes to that organization. I like the idea of giving back to local businesses and

Artwork to be at the Pet Expo in Milwaukee

I am very excited to announce that my portrait of Bruno the Pit Bull will be at the Pet Expo this Saturday! This is a portrait of Bruno, he is a very special dog. When Bruno was a very young pup he was stepped on. Due to this, his hind legs were no longer working. The people that owned Bruno at the time couldn’t keep up with his care, so they decided to abandon him in an alley all alone. Luckily he was found and is doing much better now.   Read more about Bruno here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Brunos-Story/113628872080161?sk=wall

Art Update

  Been busy cranking out a bunch of pet portraits. I have also received a handful of commissions. I really enjoy the response I am getting  from everyone.  As an artist, approaching and creating art in a whole new way can be kind of daunting.  (Phew!)   With this new series my focus is color, primarily funky and natural. I try to create something for everyone.   I love the flow I got going on. I just can’t stop. I also added some new pieces at Caribou Coffee in Mequon. Out

New Year, New Art

Lately I have been on a creative hiatus. Why have I taken a break from art you might ask? Well, I moved this past fall, got more involved with work, and got a new puppy! I will also admit that my creative juices were in fact absent. I often tried to bring my creativity to the surface, but it just wasn’t there.  Months went by without a single sketch… I began to worry. Luckily, 2012 brought my inspiration back, or so I’d like to think. I decided I wanted to experiment with my style.
