New necklaces to Textures Handmade Market in Tallahassee!

New necklaces to Textures in Midtown Tallahassee off Thomasville road. Textures specializes in unique handmade gifts and shows many many wonderful local artists! I am so happy to be selected to be a part of this shop! I designed and printed up some brand new labels for Elliott Elephant using a hand drawn logo I created about 3 years ago that was originally screen printed onto fabric for clothing labels. Yay crafts!

new painting!

This painting is a commissioned portrait. It is 33 x 40 inches. Oil on recycled canvas. This commission was my dream commission. I was able to photograph the source image and I was given free range apart from painting a portrait. So I consider this a part of my body of work even though it was commissioned! yay!
