Roo teaching humans how to understand cats
"You totally captured her feisty Egyptian Goddess personality! I loved when you asked if she were human what would be her profession. She is definitely the bossy, beautiful, lovable teacher. All the little jokes are great. It is so cool how you included her favorite toys and foods! Just awesome. I am so happy we did this!"

Princess Mochi
"Wow! This is so special to me. I cried when I opened it. I can see her whole life story and the things she loves most like chasing Bocci balls and eating carrots. It is so true to her personality as the princess on her throne! She turns 15 this week and I am so grateful to have this reminder of her puppy days and the fullness of our life together."

Triumphant Tracee
Tracee was undergoing Chemo treatments when I was contacted by her dear friend. They shaved her head and wanted to do something special with the hair to honor her life and the courage it takes to survive breast cancer. I integrated her hair into this painting that represents what is most important to her. Today Tracee is cancer free, her hair is growing back and she told her friend "I love that the painting represented my life and not the potential for death."
Ms. Silk
Born into an Italian catholic family, she was the rebel of the bunch, finding her true self in the hate Ashbury "Hippie Days." A fashion stylist, pasta maker, restraunt owner, single Mother and more!
As a child she wanted to be a roquette but instead found her happiness in a deserted Teepee, Hawaii, Port Townsend and international travel. Her spirituality is found in nature. Now, at 71 she has returned to her dancing dreams by teaching seniors how to boogie!

Lovers by the Sea
A True Love Celebration!
A True Love Celebration!
These sweethearts share a passion for the ocean and meditation. It was a deep experience to pay tribute to their two hearts becoming one.
(People often ask me to make "True Love Celebration Paintings" for engagements, weddings, anniversaries and other important landmarks in the life of people in love. These paintings are a representation of their unique Union and the beauty of their life and love.)
