Opened a shop on Etsy to sell my upcycled trees!

New tree paintings

I was asked to paint more tree paintings for someone's house.  I tried a new technique for the Tree Bark painting and I loved hiw it turned out.  Rings II looks impressive, Birch is my least favorite (and of course took the longest time...I am not sure it was meant to be created by me).  I included a close up of Birch since it was hard to see the details in the lighting I had.

Trusting Strangers

When I was 7, my family was going through a stressful time.  My parents decided a vacation to the Smoky Mountains would be a nice distraction.  But our vacation was abruptly interrupted and we were stranded in the Smoky Mountains for three weeks.  It's an amazing story with amazing characters.  Look for Trusting Strangers by D.A. Roach available on ebook from www.amazon.com this Thanksgiving!

Beats!

This is a paintting for our basement.  We are putting up canvas that have abstract or graffiti style art. I used acrylics for the drippy background and spray painted wood of different lengths to represent the 'beats' of a equalizer. Just trying something new and fun :)

My art!

Here is just a sampling of some of my art....click on the link below.  I have had a few classes, but most of my ability comes from years of drawing and the love I have with it!  There are murals, wall hangings, paintings, and more...enjoy and please feel free to provide feedback!
