Anatomy & Sugar Skulls

One might think the anatomy category of the 15 Squared Art Show would be the most challenging for an artist who doesn’t enjoy painting people or portraits and who generally doesn’t care for the figure in art.  But this is me we are talking about and while I don’t like painting people so much, I […]

The 1970’s

For the 1970’s category of the 15 Squared Art Show, I considered a few ideas, but settled on my first introduction to pop culture (and The Muppets)… Sesame Street! Sesame Street is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, so honoring this show felt right.  However, I didn’t want to paint the more obvious characters.  I […]

15 Squared

I feel honored and very humbled to have my work included in the upcoming 15 Squared Art Show.  I am one of 15 Central Florida artists invited to create 15 small artworks for display at The Barefoot Spa.  With works no larger than 12” x 12”, each artist was challenged to create art inspired by […]

Sugar Skulls & Luchador Masks

I am pleased to share that I have three pieces currently on view at Hourglass Brewing in Longwood, FL as part of their Sugar Skull & Luchador Mask Mash Up Art Show!  Artists were challenged to create artwork “mashing up” sugar skulls and luchador masks with pop culture references.  The results were truly magnificent and […]

Agent Phil Coulson

Last week I saw “Avengers: Endgame” and the show “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” returns in nine days making it a wonderful time to be alive if you are a huge MCU fan like myself.  One of the best characters (if not THE best character) of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a crossover character that appears in […]

Captain Marvel

I am seeing “Avengers: Endgame” later this evening so it seems appropriate to post this painting inspired by the recent film, “Captain Marvel.”  “Captain Marvel” is easily one of my top 5 MCU films for more reasons than I can list in a blog post.  Beyond its killer 90’s soundtrack and pop culture references (including […]

Geek Out! Art Show

Last night I attended the opening of the Geek Out! Art Show at Dandelion Community Cafe in Orlando, FL.  One of the things I love about Orlando’s art community is the prevalence of nontraditional gallery spaces and, more specifically, Dandelion Community Cafe.  Not only do they host themed art shows all year long featuring local […]

Stan Lee (1922 – 2018)

As a fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and as an art historian, I would like to pay a humble tribute to the incomparable Stan Lee.  Say what you will about the pulp nature of comic books, those images are as much a part of art history as any oil painting or historic monument.  Through […]

Cortana: Digital Goddess

My painting of Cortana, the Artificial Intelligence character from the HALO video game franchise, was included in the “Nerds in the City” 1st Thursdays event at the Orlando Museum of Art last week.  This painting is important to me on a few levels. First, my husband and I love playing HALO in campaign mode.  Recently, […]
