My favorite art project was learning to sew and crochet with […]

Anyone like food?

Besides art, one of the things that I’m the most passionate about is food :-) In fact, I’m so crazy about good food, made with good quality ingredients — but quick and easy, so it doesn’t cut into art time — that the LifeStyle Channel of b5Media has given me the opportunity to write a […]

Dani is off for Italy!

Poor dear…can you imagine anything more awful than having to spend an entire semester in Italy studying sculpture and oil painting? Poor poor little thing… ;-)

Pop art with Photoshop

Technique Tuesday!

One of the nice things about this technique is that you don’t have to have a really high-resolution image to start with. Since most of the detail is purposely lost, you can start with something less than ideal for a print. You can play around with color too: although Nate’s eyes look blue in […]

Pop Art Nate

Make Art Monday!
I used one of my favorite pictures of my son Nate when he was just a toddler to make a really fun Roy Lichtenstein-style pop art portrait. Now that Nate is soon to have a baby of his own, maybe I’ll be making these of my grandchildren in the future!

Tomorrow we’ll talk through […]
