A Best Friend

September 19, 2015 //

Three years ago I made my dear friend a painting for her birthday of her sweet pooch Luna! Just like Luna has helped her through hardships, she’s done the same for me. Watching how much my she loves her best friends, makes me so antsy and incredibly excited for the day I have my own pup. My heart feels over joyed to give her a gift that brings her such happiness!

Well she didn’t want the newest, ditsy, adorable, member of the family feeling left out, so here’s Ollie!

Just like most things I’ve done, I never thought I would be painting pooches! I truly love how they turned out, and the the joy it brings to my friends face just makes it all that more sweet.

We’ve all seen it, or own one, a generalized piece of ‘art’ from here or there, whatever store it is, someone else surely has it too. Well not this piece, well not anymore that is. Before and after.

Happy Birthday

April 11, 2015 //

Nan!!! She is a super cool regular at the winery where I work, always keeping me up to date on cool new places to go or new beers to try, an all around full of life, rad lady. She also happens to be one of the biggest Marilyn Monroe fans I’ve met, so I surprised her with this painting! Hope it looks good in the Marilyn room. ❤️

Wine label!

April 3, 2015 //

So I got to do something really cool I’ve always wanted to do…Whenever I buy wine, or when I’m drinking a beer, I’m constantly looking at the label, thinking how would I design this, what would I create? I’ve dreamt about making one, & here my chance provides itself!

A Michigan maple sap dessert wine, aged for a year in a traverse bourbon barrel. It’s amazing, I hope what I painted for the label lives up to the taste!

Wine!

April 2, 2015 //

More wine inspired art!!!!

I had the splendid opportunity to be the featured artist for Michigan by the Bottle, Royal Oak. I’m very passionate about local, especially delicious local wine! This place is great, the vibe is wonderful, the staff and owners incredible! They partner with 8 michigan wineriess, so basically you can wine taste amazing Michigan wine all over the state without the drive! With that being said, my art will be hanging March-April.
