Well, I've finally decided to start a blog. It feels a little like walking onto the beach with a bikini when you haven't worn a bathing suit in a while. eep.
Who am I? I'm a designer, artist, artisan, and crafter. I would like to say I'm just a _____ , but I realize, like many creative people, the potential for creativity is everywhere and in all materials and so I can't say I am focused on just one thing or even one style. I keep wondering if that's a bad thing because focus is a good thing. hmm.
Anyhow, right now, I am mostly painting and drawing in a more illustrative style that tends to be light and whimsical. It can be viewed here:

I do like whimsy, but also create work that has a different feel. I painted an abstract piece the other day, but haven't decided on whether to list it. It is different from the other pieces and I have been mulling over the idea of opening a new shop for my more "serious" work.
That brings to mind an incident in college. I was once chastised for drawing something that wasn't considered "fine artish" in print class. Hah! I'm still creating work they wouldn't display in a gallery. That's fine with me. My work still makes people happy - or so I've been told.
