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

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.
