"Violet Rosie," one of eight older paintings I am auctioning off in the next 24 hours. More details below and on the studio's Facebook page.
The last couple years have seen galleries closing down, and a number of spaces that used to represent me no longer do. I was sorting through the beautiful returned inventory when I realized something.
These paintings deserve an audience!
So right then and there I went through my archives, packed with artwork I kept for a variety of reasons - paintings from exhibitions, demos done for particular events, and the returned inventory mentioned above - and pulled out a handful of oldies but goodies that seemed especially lonely and in need of new homes.
These are daily pieces created during 2007 - 2010, done in acrylic on canvas boards.
These paintings will be auctioned off over the next 24 hours on the studio Facebook's page. Place your bid by commenting on the photo of the painting you want. Bidding will continue until 9pm EST tomorrow evening (that's February 21st).
The entire album of available paintings is here.
Hope you see a treasure or two you can't live without!! And thanks for helping me find these gems a home!

I shared my idea with three friends in the industry, and they eagerly offered their expertise. I am truly indebted to them. Illustrator and author Matt Faulkner and children's book author and literacy expert Kristen Remenar edited an early version of the draft. They suggested key plot/conceptual changes that made it oodles better. Designer Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson worked her magic, pairing the images with perfectly color...
