I am a visual artist and I love art and anything creative! I was a portrait artist for 25 years, working mostly by commission. In 2011, I switched gears to spend more time in the studio painting and exploring what inspires me.

Getting the very last of my paint from this tube. This works great! I got it at a hair supply place, it's for using on hair color tubes, but works on my paint tubes really well. . . . . . . . #paintingprocess #acrylicpainting #yellow #artistatwork #artistinthestudio #laartist #Californiaartists #California #painttube #nowaste #hair #haircolor #twist #hand #paintonmyfingers #forestfairy #Fairyartist #forestfirepainting #artistpalette #goldenpaints #liquitexpaint

Worked on the background of my forest fire painting this weekend. Sadly, I had many photos as reference. Thinking of everyone who has been impacted by the fires here and in Australia... And the sweet animals. . . . . . . . #fire #painting #acrylic #forestfire #treeart #trees #forest #paintinginprocess #laartist #California #Californiaartists #artistinthestudio #Australia #Australiafires #femaleartist #paintingprocess #orange #magicalrealismart #laart #advancingwomenartists #fantasypainting #fineartpainting

Working on my sketch for the painting I just started. I started thinking about this painting last summer when we were having such awful fires here in California. Now with Australia experiencing terrible fires, I've changed the animals a bit to include some from Australia, too. Sending prayers and hope for rain! . . . . . . . #animalpainting #rescue #Australia #loveanimals #sketchbook #wildishspirit #fire #forestpainting #forestfire #laartist #Australiafires #Californiaartist #California #koala #eagle #fox #rabbit #upliftingart #drawing #animalart #artinprogress #artistinthestudio #sketchtopaint #contemporaryart #woman #surrealart #feministart #magicalrealism #fantasyart
