Sketchbook Information

“Coffee and Cigarettes”

My work is all about character and narrative, either via the details or actual story telling, or both. I once was a puppeteer, then an art doll/ soft sculpture artist, and now I write and illustrate children's books. Inspired by this, my first Sketchbook project, I have once again returned to painting.

    Thank you for the nice feedback on my book(s). Doing these really feeds my soul. Here is a link for the show oping I had that contains large painting base on my 2011 Sketchbook Project, Coffee and Cigarettes. https://vimeo.com/52020362

    Love your book. Wonderfully whimsical characters sporting an important message. Would love to see the large paintings!

    Thanks for the feedback, Alex and Cindy! It's nice knowing that someone is actually looking at the book. I am turing almost all of those sketches into large paintings.

    I really love your work. I'm not sure how to describe the feelings it evokes, but maybe you will appreciate the fact that it does evoke feelings.
