50's Diner

2012-02-04T06:12:00.000-08:00

This was a prop for a school function my daughter and I worked on. We didnt have as much time as we would of liked to add more details, but you have to stop at some point. We had such a great time painting it.

Spanish Border

This was the inspiration for the hand painted Spanish border. A Talavera style of pottery and my client chose a beautiful style of Spanish font.

Hand Painted Spanish border

2011-11-22T10:24:00.001-08:00

I just finished this over the weekend, just in time for Thanksgiving. I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. This was for a wonderful repeat customer. They bought a beautiful new Spanish home and I mean beautiful! They are the sweetest family, I so love the people I am blessed to paint for I really enjoy collaborating and getting to know them. This was my clients idea and she has a great sense of style. It was challenging painting an arch so I had to work hard on this one and love the out come. Elegant and beautiful just like the family : ).

Paradise Beach

2011-08-02T17:09:00.000-07:00

Have you ever had something that you really liked but, could not find a place for it. Well that was the case for this white frame. We decided to do our spare room with a beach theme, it was a great chance to use that frame and it inspired the whole room. It was a great addition to this room. I challenge you to find a new purpose for something old today.

hand painted surf board

2011-04-07T08:56:00.000-07:00

This is another surfboard I painted, for a really good friend of the family. It is so fun to transform something ordinary to something beautiful. The family is going to display it in there home on a special stand. They are avid surfers and enjoy serving in the Harvest Surf Ministry. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did painting it.

Norco Animal Hospital

It's a tea party!

2009-10-27T10:14:00.000-07:00

What an adorable idea this client came up with. Forest animals having a tea party in the woods. This was for a beautiful baby girl that arrived while I was still painting. She is beautiful and hopefully will have many years of enjoyment pretending to have tea with her forest friends...

Beauty and the Beast Before

2009-07-22T11:28:00.000-07:00

Here is a great example of the hands and feet of the church. I recieved this board from Don who heads up the surf fellowship at Harvest. The board was donated to him to be painted and hung when they have the fellowships (check it out @ Harvest.org) My assistant and sweet husband prepped and repaired it for me, then I painted it, Debbie who does amazing graphics helped me design the logo so I could then paint it on. The board is now being sealed by yet another person in the church Dan who is an awesome painter by trade he is spraying a glossy coat of sealer on it for me to finish the board off. What a blessing and honor it has been to be apart of blessing our church, and it was fun to paint too!

Employee of the Month

2009-02-19T14:52:00.000-08:00

This is my hardest working employee of the month, okay... maybe of the year! He is my husband Kevin. We have been together now for about 19 years. It takes a very patient person to live with an artist. He completes me and challenges me. I am truly blessed.
We recently had our family pictures taken by my dear friend Dawn Malone. You can check out the rest of the pictures on her website dawnmalone.com
We took them on New Years Eve, and just had a blessed day celebrating our family and
reflecting on the past year. It wasn't easy splashing around in those winter waves, but the pictures came out amazing and it will be remembered always. Thank you Dawn!

CHOC Healthy Smiles Mobile Dentistry Unit

2008-09-15T10:22:00.000-07:00

Here are a few photo's of a mobile unit that I was commissioned to paint. This mobile unit travels to area's where some families can't afford to receive dental care for their Children, can you imagine! this must be such a huge blessing to those families. We decided to come up with a theme that would flow with the outside of the unit which was already painted. I started with blank white and cold walls, amazing what paint and a little creativity can do. I hope the Children enjoy it and know they are loved. Healthy Smiles motto "IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS".

Here are a couple of details from the walls.
