"There's a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn't that kind of the point?" -Pam Beesly
This very sentiment guides every creative decision I have made over my many years of capturing the beauty of the typical, ordinary, and common.
Be Local.
12" x 24"
Acrylic on canvas
A depiction of the heart of Dickson with it's governing motto.
Chas
11" x 14"
Marker and coloring pencil on board
A good friend meets dots. The portrait itself is stippled, the background is smooth coloring pencil. By the end of it, I was almost certain it took longer to stipple than the length of time we have been friends.
Tree of Family
9.5" x 11"
Watercolor and pen on watercolor paper
Made the watercolor. Professionally framed the watercolor. Gifted the watercolor to my grandmother. Found out my aunt is pregnant. My watercolor is officially inaccurate. Welcome to my family.
(I still love this piece and my family. I just don't know how to add another name).
Two Fun Guys
9" x 12"
Pen and chalk on board
The world of Super Mario Brothers meets science. The iconic red mushroom is depicted in all of its anatomical glory.
The Doodle
8.5" x 8.5"
Watercolor and pen on board
Everyone meet Max. Max is made entirely of the word 'Max.' Max wants you to know that he loves you. Especially if you give him treats. Also. Follow him on Instagram: @maxthecrackadoodle.
The Whistler's Daughter
8" x 8"
Coloring pencil on board
Not the Whistler. Or the Whistler's Mother. It is the Whistler's Daughter. In the Whistler's chair at the Whistler's house.
Benson
12" x 24"
Acrylic on canvas
A representation of a flower from the perspective of our favorite pollinators. Up-close. And personal.
How Many Fingers?
2' x 4'
To answer your question, I predict approximately 85 fingers in this painting (assuming that each of these people haven't lost or gained a finger).
Unblended
4" x 12"
Acrylic on Balsa
How atypical. Sunsets are known for their beautifully blended gradient color. And yet, that has been completely undone in this piece.
Starry Skyline
8" x 10"
Acrylic on panel
Two icons meet in one scene. Beautiful swirls of the sky conflict with the harsh edges of the building. Balance.
Run, Don't Walk
11" x 8.5"
Chalk on chalk paper
Nightmares only seem as real as you make them, and this paper emphasized the reality of running from the darkness.
Ain't No Sun Not Shine
11" x 14"
Glass mosaic
I have no idea if this is an accurate representation of the sun; I can't actually see the sun in all her glory. But, I would like to think that the sun would be okay with her representation in small glass pieces here.
