Recent custom canvases

Wow..it's been a long time since I have posted! I've been hard at work creating custom art and I also took part in my first art/craft show!! I will post pics and talk about that soon :)


These cute canvases were made for someone on Etsy whose daughters share a room. I hope they look great on their walls!

I love me, I love me not, I LOVE ME

I've been playing more with mixed media and different techniques. This fun canvas is proof of that :) It was created on an 8x10 canvas using acrylic paints, paper, alcohol inks and charcoal shading pencil. I am excited to continue to get creative using these materials and more in the months to come!

I love the saying and simplicity in this piece. It's a better of way of reminding one to 'love yourself first'. I hope you enjoy it!!

If you are interested in this piece, I will have a few of these at my show on December 5th at St. Roberts Catholic Church in Flushing. I will also be offering prints of this as well!!! SOOO exciting! I'll keep you updated.

Especially on Sundays

I was so excited to bring this canvas to life!! I think this saying came to me on a night when I was stressed out with feeling like I was never going to be able to be 100% in every aspect of my life (career, mother, wife, business owner). It's usually at these times that art helps me. It helps me to remember the things that matter in life, and allows me to create something that can remind me, as well as others, when it's needed most:) I hope you love this piece as much as I do.

'When her children ask her
how she did it ALL
She will tell them, she didn't
She learned to listen to her smiles
and let the rest get a little messy,
especially on Sundays'

You may remember my orginal 'LOVE is all you need' canvas, shown here....

I was happy to receive a custom order for a pink/black/white version of this canvas from a custmer on Etsy. I think it turned out wonderfully, and I hope you do too! Looking forward to creating other versions of this canvas in the future :)

NEW letters now available!

NEW, bigger letters are now available!! Here is an example that I created for my fabulous niece, Leighton.

Letters are paper mache and about 12" high by about 7.5" wide. They can easily hang on wall or stand on their own on a desk or shelf.

Letters are partially customizeable in that the design will be the same for all, however, you will be able to choose your colors as well as name. A boy version will be available soon!
Letters are $35 each, and can be found on my etsy boutique as well as my website.

Custom letters for college student

Majority of the letters I create are for babies or young children, so it was a fun change to create letters for a college student (an MSU college student at that...GO GREEN!). It was also fun because I have never painted a Lily before. I was pretty happy with the way they turned out ;)

Hope you enjoy!

'The Life of a Frog'

I wish I had better pics of these, but I don't want to wait any longer to post pics because I have a NEW, super cute (imo) canvas and a NEW, super cute (again imo) 'letter' to show you as well!

Here are some custom canvases I created on 'The Life of a Frog'! It starts with the eggs (Not all frog eggs have to grow in the water. These are Red-eyed tree frog eggs to be exact. I GOOGLED it. hello! lol), which transform into tadpoles, and alas..you have Mr. Frog :)

I can't wait to visit baby Gus's room this weekend to see these canvases on the wall, and to see how cute they look with the turtle and snail canvases I painted for him a while back.
