new illustration work
Here's a recent set of illustrations that I finished for The Community Associations Institute's Magazine.
The article was all about neighborliness (or lack there of) so this is what I created for the cover.
And here's a piece for the inside spread complete with nosy neighbor looking over the fence :)
I had so much fun creating these illustrations! Great theme and I got to play with all my favorite colors too!

happy mother's day!
It was one year ago this weekend that we adopted our doggie Maggie and she quickly took over our hearts. She came all the way from TN to DC from aplacetobark.com on Mother's Day weekend
Just minutes after Maggie came off the transport, we're in the back seat of the car ready to head to her new home with us! Read Maggie's adoption story here!
Happy Mother's Day everyone!! Even mommies of 4-legged furry children count! :)

orlando here I come
Tomorrow morning I am heading down to Orlando to get our little house all ready to sell. After 3 years of renting it out after our move here to DC, Paul and I have realized we are not cut out to be landlords. Too much anxiety, hassle and expense even with a property manager!
After lots of discussion we decided to put our house on the market. And within only 24 hours of being listed we already have a contract on it! We are excited but still holding our breath until the closing goes through. Fingers crossed!
So off I go tomorrow to visit our little home and get it all spruced up ready either for the sale or for more buyers. Hopefully the sale and closing will all go smoothly. We'll know more in a couple of weeks!
P.S. Even though I'll be in Orlando I'll still be live at 12noon EST on the Big Picture Classes Creative Crop this Saturday May 7th. I'll be chatting in the classroom, answering questions for an hour at Noon EST, 9am PST. And you don't want to miss my challenge - it's a fun one AND I included FREE a download to get you started! Also did I mention the Creative Crop is FREE!

October 7-9th 2011 - 3 day Collage Discovery Intensive in Coupeville WA
The three-day workshop format will be a "Collage Discovery Intensive" inspired Claudine's two books, Collage Discovery Workshop and Collage Discovery Workshop Beyond the Unexpected
We'll start the weekend with a focus on color mixing and expanding our color palettes. We'll move onto to a concentration on composition and design principles. Then we'll learn a combination of painterly collage techniques, which will enhance the surfaces of your collage artworks. We'll play with image transfer methods and other experimental methods of working.
A variety of idea generation tools will be covered to help us "dig deeper" into the meaning of our collage artworks. Our work together will be paced to allow for personal artistic discovery as well as studio time for working on our collage artworks. The atmosphere will be one of support and encouragement. The most important ingredients you can bring to this workshop, is an open mind and a willingness to share and explore. Workshop is available to artists of all skill levels - beginning to advanced.
