Wine Box Art Show

I am honored and humbled to be a participating artist in the 2nd Annual Wine Box Art Show to benefit the Zebra Coalition here in Orlando, FL. All wine boxes are currently on display with a fixed “buy now” price. You can view the wine boxes – 56 wine boxes created by 35 local artists […]

The Big Bang!

Kindred Spirits (the artwork of Paula Davis and Adrienne H. Lee) made our debut this past Saturday at Orlando’s premier indie art, craft and vintage fair, the Big Bang Bazaar. Despite a stormy sky and some weather uncertainty, I felt like attendance was still pretty high. Paula and I spoke with a bunch of wonderful […]

“Art Therapy” Part 2

Expressing yourself through art can be very therapeutic. I would admit that most of my paintings are cute and colorful and sweet and humorous, but sometimes cute doesn’t cut it. Sometimes it feels good to attack the canvas with your hands covered in paint or with nontraditional art tools like wire brushes. The second piece […]

Totoro Among the Flowers

While I continue working my way through all the Studio Ghibli films, please enjoy yet another Totoro painting. I can assure you it won’t be the last! Painting Totoros has given me a sense of peace during these troubled times. He comforts me the same way he comforted Mei and Satsuki and I am so […]

Beaker

As I may have mentioned in a previous post… I LOVE The Muppets. I was fortunate enough to have four of my Muppet paintings included in a puppet-themed art show a few years ago here in Orlando, FL. This one features my favorite Muppet (aside from Kermit, of course) – Beaker – and is titled […]

Pisces

This is a painting I did over the summer for a show titled “Go with the Flow.” It wasn’t accepted, but I love how it turned out. I wanted to explore the idea of merging the symbol for the astrological sign Pisces (two fish) and the Yin and Yang. Instead of the traditional black and […]

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

There are only a few days left to make your way to Osceola Arts for a final viewing of the “Seuss Whimsy” Art Show. I am so pleased that my painting, “Frances McFeather,” was included alongside so many wonderful pieces of artwork. The show was bright, colorful and full of fanciful environments and fantastic creatures. […]
