These are sketches for some bandit girl paintings I’ve been wanting to do. And here’s the first one! I added Diamond Glaze to the bugs and the eyes for a glass-like finish… This original painting is available in my Etsy shop, where I sell my art and butterfly cards to raise money for […]

More Butterfly Canvases
These two butterfly canvases are available on my Etsy shop for medical research. All proceeds from my shop are donated to research for Cockayne Syndrome. My little boy, Knox, was diagnosed with this extremely rare disease when he was 8 months old. He’ll be celebrating his 3rd birthday this July, […]
Ladybugs and Toadstools
These are some drawings I did recently. Not sure what to do with them yet. They were drawn with ZIG pens onto old blank book pages and then colored with pencils. I flipped through some books and found some cute phrases that went along with the drawings. Maybe I could […]
