Periwinkle Painting inspiration board
Last February I met with potential clients at Amazing Grace Villa who had viewed my painting featured in the dining room and wanted to commission a custom artwork. Here are a couple of inspiration boards I created for the clients to get a sense of the color direction they preferred.

Last October I had my first High Point Market experience, the largest furnishings industry trade show in the world. Wow, what a whirlwind; a feast for the eyes and a trek for the soles! To summarize:
It was amazing, it was highly productive, it was inspirational, and it was overwhelming! Here are a few highlights from my favorite showrooms. Above American Leather, below Asian Loft
Above Barloga Studios, below Brownstone
Above Currey & Co, below Four Hands
Above Visual Comfort Lighting, below Benson-Cobb Studio

On Saturday November 9, 2013 I participated and attended a group art showing at the legendary Amanyara. The event was a fundraiser for the ECG Youth Centre, a cause near and dear to my heart. There were a very select few, just ten artists, chosen to exhibit works for the exclusive sold out event. The three sculptures, two photographs, and one of the two paintings I included in the show all sold much to my joy. I had the chance to speak with director Roxann Wake-Forbes today and she jubilantly relayed that the event fundraising goals were not only met but exceeded! Fantastic job to Courtney Miller and Roxann who spent countless hours organizing and to all of the many patrons who donated their time and skills to create such a beautiful event for such a worthy cause. If you would like to volunteer at the contre or discover ther ways in which you can help the Youth Centre thrive please contact Roxann here.
Gold, Bronze, Ivory Abstract painting
I recently completed a new abstract painting inspired by my waterscape series. I am a huge fan of neutral color palettes in my own personal decorating so I was anxious to create a similar abstract work that would look great hanging on my own walls. I experimented with cream, taupe, bright white, and both gold and bronze metallic paints before applying the super high gloss top coats. I would love to see this painting find a home in a contemporary beach house with lots of earthy textured sisal, woven seagrass, dark wood details, and bright white walls.

One aspect I love with these paintings, that does not come across by photographing them unfortunately, is that they reflect so much light given the high gloss finish, as well as the metallic paints, that they look different from every angle or every hour of the day depending on what natural light may fall upon the surface.

Next up I hope to create a blindingly bright white and gold piece much larger than this 36×24 work. Stay posted!
