I joined Dalvero Academy on a trip to Mystic Seaport again and this time we had the pleasure of drawing the Mayflower. Replica of course but it’s lovely none the less. Much smaller than I would have imagined. I think that was the coolest part about it- imagining being those people in that ship. crazy. […]

Recently I was commissioned for a really fun job. I was asked to do a full illustrative exploratory based on the existing Napa Cellars brand. The idea was that the new art would be used as one of a series of special artist’s labels. The project wasn’t realized in the end, but I really enjoyed working […]

Snow is NOT white. Trust me I’ve seen enough snow this winter to last a lifetime. But amidst all the whining and complaining about the snow, every time I look out the window, or as I walk or drive through town, I am overwhelmed by how beautiful it is. I’ve seen lavendar snow, orange snow, […]

As promised, a drawing of what I actually saw in Aruba. My favorite sight of all was my boy playing in the sand. He used bits of coral for knights, a shell for a princess, and a dried up coconut for a dragon in the most rudimentary, lovely sand castle those two little hands could […]

Besides being super cute and having some sassy hairstyles, they were also very […]
