Hey everyone! Today I’m posting a pet portrait that I was commissioned to make. I was referred to her by a dear friend on a group in Facebook. It’s amazing what referrals and recommendations can do. I appreciate them all! I painted a pet portrait of her cat and dog together out of watercolor. I used photos for reference. Below are some of the process photos of the portrait. I love painting animals! If you are in the need for a pet portrait, send me a message for a quote!
Happy Veteran’s Day! I want to give a big shout out to everyone who has served or is currently serving our country…..especially my dad! Here is an invite that I was commissioned to make for my friends daughters mad science themed birthday party. It was really fun to make and I really love the theme. I’m glad to see more and more non traditional themed parties. This theme is perfect for boys and girls. I drew out the seperate art elements using Procreate and then put everything together in invitation form in Photoshop. This invite is available in my Etsy shop to customize for your next party. If you are looking for custom art or invitations, please shoot me a message!
Hey everyone! Today for throw back Thursday I present to you a tee shirt logo design I did for a fitness studio called Courageous Grace. They are based out of Wisconsin and wanted something with a nature vibe. They also really liked a simple hand drawn quality to the logo. I decided to go with mountains/bluffs and a huge sunsetting behind them. Wisconsin has some amazing bluffs and I wanted to show case that. This is one out two logos they went with to put on some apparel for their studio. I really enjoyed creating this for them! If you need a custom logo or design made, shoot me a message. I would love to help!
Here is one of the latest projects that I was commissioned to work on for a 4th birthday party. The theme is girly playground. I decided to add some cute elements like hearts, rainbows and cute clouds. All the clipart elements were drawn digitally and then put together in Photoshop with text. Below is the invitation, thank you cards and bubble party favor tags that I made to match for this cute party. This invite design is available in my Etsy shop as a digital file. If you need any custom art or invites made, send me a message. I love creating custom art!
Hey everyone! Here is another project that I have been working on. I was commissioned by a friend to create a space themed birthday party invite for her adorable son. I drew out all the art elements on my iPad in Procreate and then arranged them all together with text in Photoshop. I kept the background a pretty simple black since I knew it was going to have a lot going on. This invite is perfect for any space lover! I have this invite up in my Etsy shop to purchase a digital file. Here is the link:https://www.etsy.com/listing/702683612/space-birthday-party-invitation?ref=listings_manager_grid
I recently was commissioned to create this cute, colorful 12 month and 4 seasons art wheel. The seasons and the months are in French per request. Each month has a small illustration that represents an activity or holiday within it. I started out this painting by making a mock up on my computer to help space out all the months evenly. I then transferred that mock up onto my watercolor paper with watercolor pencils. Once that is finished, I can start painting and filling in with other watercolors. It took some time to complete this because I needed to make sure each section was dry to continue to the next one. If I didn’t let them dry, they would bleed into each other and that would be no good. Once everything was dry, I outlined everything in black pen and added all the text that was needed. I really like how this piece turned out. The final size was 12″ by 12″. If you need any custom artwork made, send me a message. I love creating custom art!
Happy Saturday! It’s been an interesting past week with Valentines Day and all this crazy winter weather. I don’t think my kids have been at school for a whole week since January. I’m so ready for this winter weather to go away. This is the winter Game of Thrones has been warning us about for 6 seasons…lol! Here is a project that I have been working on this week. It’s a watercolor painting with added pen detail for the lettering. I used my silhouette machine to make a stencil for the letters and painted the stars around it. Afterwards I filled in the voided space with a pen to make the letters pop. If you need a custom painting or piece made, s
Hey everyone! This past weekend was basically a wash….literally it rained all weekend and it’s still raining. So a lot of our activities that were planned were cancelled. But hey, what can you do? Here is a commissioned piece I did for a friend to put on a moving card. The animals are their 3 actual pets. I used photos of them and tried to make the likeness as much close as I could. They made postcards to mail their new address to everyone after moving into their new house. I think they turned out really cute. If you need custom art, just shoot me a message!

Hey everyone! For this installment of #tbt throw back Thursday, I present to you some thank you cards that I designed a couple of months ago. I was asked by a sales rep of Monarch to create thank you cards so she could give them to her clients. I wanted to keep them pretty simple and appealing to the eye. I decided to go with blue, since it was part of the Air Techniques logo and it’s a pretty calming color. The triangle fragments in the background are my version of abstract teeth, since both company’s make dental products. They were painted digitally and the text was hand written using Procreate. I like that I was able to make something as corporate as these thank you cards have some style. If you have any custom work needed, please shoot me a message for a quote!
