AEM Gallery

So my obsession for the last few weeks has been mardi-gras inspired art, at least that’s what I’m callin’ it, because of the bright colors and mask-like feel of the art. Take a look at my Mardi-Art Facebook Album to see some fun stuff I’m working on. Mardi-on!

Spring Festivals are in the books and next up as far as showings is the Reliant Dog Show in July. I am happy to have the break between now and then so I can get focused on my commissions back-log. Lots of fun things to paint in the coming weeks. Very excited and feeling blessed to be so busy painting and drawing your critters.

I am so excited about this event on Saturday, April 28th, that will benefit Spay-Neuter Assistance Program! Door prizes, drawings for warm fuzzies and paintings! Eats, drinks, etc. It will be great fun and all for a terrific cause. Please come out! Come casual and have fun! (Hollywood Frame Gallery is located at 2427 Bissonet)

Very excited about this new painting. It’s bright, busy, and full of fun stuff to look at! The original work is 36″ x 60″ and was a commission for someone. Fine prints are available on my ETSY site HERE if you’re looking for something whimsical for your wall. If you would like to see some close up shots of various parts of this work, check out my facebook photo album for it. Everyone seems to have their favorite critter in this piece. Mine’s the poodle and shepherd mix with the scarf that are next to the tree with the cat/squirrel action. What’s your fav?

4 x 4 Warm Fuzzies are a new line of art I am doing on acid free colored papers. I am in love with the feel that the color from the paper gives to the art. I do at least one new one every day and post it on my facebook fan page. Many have sold as soon as I post them, so I guess you like them too …Anyway, check out my fan page to see them as they are created. A few samples of them are below…

Also, check out my ETSY site for my Warm Fuzzie Prints. They are only $29 each and come in an 8 x 10 mat with the title and signature on the mat. I add new ones there every day. Lots to look at for the animal lover!

If you are new to my site and don’t know what a SNart is, it’s fine art done on a 3 x 3 sticky note. I use acrylic paint, ink, and prisma colors for these small works. And recently I have been doing a lot of commissioned ones as groupings. The one below was commissioned as a gift for someone that has nine kitties. Others have done a grouping of all their animals past and present in one frame. Love that idea! Interested in finding out more about SNarts? Click on the menu button “SNarts!” to see lots of examples. And if you are interested in doing your own grouping or one as a gift, contact me for more info and a quote.

I now have a fun line of holiday cards to choose from (11 different box sets) on my Cafe Press site. Below are just 2 of the whimsical cards you could be sending out this season. Check ‘em all out HERE (Just click on “Whimsical Holiday Cards”)! Continue reading →

My next event is the Houston Cat Show on August 27th and 28th and I am “purrty” excited about it. I have never been to a cat show, so first of all, I am just looking forward to being immersed in “all things cat”…Also, I am thrilled that my artwork will be featured on the cover of the event program.

Good things often happen when I go out for a run. There is just something about that solitude and my body in motion that gets the creative juices flowing. I am so excited to announce my “give back” to the world of critters…thanks to a good and mentally productive run I had yesterday. Continue reading →

So it’s been a few months now since I introduced PETites to my line up and I am excited to say that they are keeping me busy. And the best part is that I love, love, love doing them. They have become my morning staple… Continue reading →
