Start your bidding! Aug. 5th- Sept. 25th at Underwood Gallery

This was a first for me. I decoupaged one of my photo images onto a chair. Here are some of the behind the blood, sweat & tears pictures of the chair in progress. OK there was no blood or tears but I was sweating it a bit and a few swear words did fly.
I'm proud to say I'm the sponsor and creator of this relaxing Adirondack chair. It is being auctioned off ( silently- shhhhh!) for Wauwatosa's BID. Auction starts 8/2- 9/25. Sept. 25th is the final bidding day.

BIG thanks to all the creative folks out there that answered my varnish questions! And all of my artist friends giving me encouragement! There is a very supportive art community here! Another HUGE thanks to friends Angie & Jon, who willingly gave up one half of their garage space so I could finish this piece. Oh and one more Thank-You to the lovely Stinky the bulldog for being a good subject!

Sweetness in 3.5 pounds

This is Molly. She's a mini goldendoodle (between 8-9 weeks old). And full of spirit, puppy energy & sweetness! This was our first official photo shoot. Many, many, many more to come! I'm thrilled to have another k9 running around my parents home.

Molly

Molly is one of five beloved pets that Sandy & Dan, of BayView Pampered Pets( dog walking & sitting service) lives with. I was hired to photograph them with their furry kids for their new website.

neato!

On a recent visit to my dentist. Far out- a panoramic view of my choppers! In the upper right hand corner of the image, my cavity is heart shaped! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

See Jack play!

Jack, is 16 months old and beaming with energy & joy! I had first photographed Jack, back when he was 3 months old. He still has the same sweetness only now he can really move!

Stinky the Bulldog

I met Stinky years ago for a Fetch Magazine article about his book "Stinky the Bulldog" written by Jackie Valent (his wonderful owner) . In “Stinky the Bulldog”, he learns the true meaning of a friend. Buy it here http://www.amazon.com/Stinky-Bulldog-Jackie-Valent/dp/1420826972 . Fast forward 5 years later and I'm commissioned to do another shoot with Stinky. Stinky is a joyful, sweet pup!

Birthday weekend

Rented a cabin, in Lodi Wi. on Lake Wisconsin, for my birthday ( 2 weekends ago, but still celebrating!). It was the perfect lil cabin right on the lake. Some days we kayaked morning & night. So calming & beautiful (miss it!). Baraboo and Devil's Lake State Park were nearby. Again perfect. We had the chance to stop in and walk around the grounds of Dr. Forevetron http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2239 . Some wacky and wonderful large upcycled sculptures. Had a great family & friends birthday gathering on Saturday, despite the down pour! Thanks to all for making it memorable!
