The latest installation at the ArtHub Gallery is up! This is the first time I’ve framed my paintings, fun to see them looking a bit more polished. All the works at the ArtHub are for sale with a portion benefiting the Nashua Area Artists’ Association. Click here if interested.

Selfie in Santa Fe
First portrait / self-portrait… It took 7 (!) sessions to get to this, and they were all really terrifying versions! I wasn’t sure I could get to something decent, so I am really happy with this.
ArtHub Sept / Oct 2020
Excited to participate in my first gallery exhibit! I joined the Nashua Area Artists’ Association recently and submitted a few works for the fall show in their member gallery. Quite fun to see my art in the world and check out other artists’ works.
Tomato the Cat
It’s my niece’s 9th birthday tomorrow 💕 so I made her a petite portrait of her cat Tomato
Hiro at Salisbury Beach
I liked the sketch I made of my pup so decided to make the painting. This was from a photo taken at Salisbury Beach. I used a limited palette with only 5 colors: burnt umber, French ultramarine, cadmium red, cadmium yellow, and titanium white.
Still Life with Bust
I think I’m going to start painting on bigger canvases for certain subjects. It was a bit of torture painting all these objects on a 16″ x 20″ canvas …felt like I was painting in miniature.
Painting
Recreated an old sketch of a hand drawing but this time in paint and of a hand painting. It was my first time making skin tones with paint…challenging but fun.
Cherries
Believe it or not, it was the ramekin that was most difficult to paint. The cherries and tablecloth were a lot easier and much more fun.
Skull and Roses
I love Mexican art with skulls and paintings with a “memento mori” theme, so I bought myself a replica skull (and some silk roses) from Etsy to paint. This was done faster than usual for me…I think I’m finally figuring out how to paint flowers.
Living Room
Spending more time at home, so I figured I may as well paint it. I loved making all the tiny things, especially the little paintings.
