I create with all kind of media, but I fumble w/tools like content creation, video editing, and marketing. Just imagine me squinty-eyed trying to figure out which buttons to push pull out your popcorn and enjoy the laughter and the ride!
In this livestream I show how to flatten watercolor paintings. I learned from someone else who showed how it could be done with smaller paintings. I have larger paintings and wondered if it would work still. Here's my attempt.
Here's the less-than-3-minute video that shows how my oil painting, Left Unattended, progressed. You also get to see reference photos. This is the painting that won the Creative Arts Guild's Patron's Choice Award at their Arts Festival in 2024.
This is my short video of my progression of this Wall Garden watercolor. It was painted as an illustration for the husband's TTRPG. The finished work is on a 10" x 13" cold press 100% cotton watercolor paper using Kuretake watercolor paints. I started this in October 2024 and only just finished it recently.
YOU WANT THE TRUTH?! You can't handle the truth! (I couldn't help m'self!) Sorry!
My first exclusive video for this platform. I'm a rookie, so watch with grace! Feel free to ask any questions in the comments!

This is my latest painting... currently being painted in acrylic but likely will transition to mixed media by development with oils. 22" x 24"
Choose from my selection of potential titles or suggest one of your own through "other." I want to name this thing to add to it's unique "still life" character! This painting is 99.98% done (needs a few minute titanium white touch ups and my signature)! I am submitting this for the September Arts Festival locally and it needs a title! #MidLifeArtist #Poll #OilPainting #StillLife
I am deeply humbled and very happy to report that my Gypsy Beauty painting won Best In Show at the Harris Arts Center Regional Art Show! She will remain on display through July 19th. For those of you who have been following me on my art journey for any length of time these past two years, you've seen me attain a lot of "firsts" as an artist. Well, today's award is yet another first. It was only my second exhibition, but my first time winning. I am just so grateful and starting to feel accomplished as a #FineArtist. Thank you Harris Arts Center for the opportunity to participate and show my work. I look forward to doing so again next year!
