{Mamma Mia Bedroom} I'm in the process of turning some watercolor renderings into prints right now. I finished a few editions of each room in LiveLikeYou's "Mamma Mia" interior design personality yesterday. Aren't they so adorable? These are small and more intimate prints at 4x4 inches. They are meant to draw you in, as if you are just sneaking a peak into someone's house without anyone noticing. {a 4x4 print next to my business card} They would look [...]

{acrylic in progress} I'm still trying to finish this pink explosion of ranunculus. The goal was to have it done by this past weekend but my birthday 'got in the way' so it just had to wait. It's getting there and I may have it done later this afternoon. It's feels like it's taking too long even though I haven't spent too many hours on it. I guess it's just one of those projects that feels like they'll [...]

I attended the the 17th Annual Knock Out Abuse Against Women Annual fundraising gala in Washington, D.C. recently. What an event! I had donated my “Closed Tulip III” to the silent auction and had the honor of attending as the co-founder's, Jill Sorensen, guest! Standing next to my darling, "Closed Tulip III," which is the painting I donated to Knock Out Abuse. The proceeds of the painting went to benefit women and children of domestic abuse. (sorry for [...]

{Three is company: Mirja's Bridal Bouquet (24x24), Royal Bridal Bouquet (24x18) and Caroline's Bridal Bouquet (18x18)} It's not often I have three bridal bouquets in the studio at the same time, so Casey snapped this photo of before I was heading out to watch Chris Botti at Wolf Trap yesterday. I always find it helpful to see a painting next to a person or a piece of furniture you know the size of (my chair). What also is [...]

More beautiful studio space

Erica2022-10-23T14:52:37-04:00

I just can't help myself! Everytime I browse my favorite blogs I see spaces that just would be perfect for an art studio... How about this gorgeous porch from Material Girls! I wouldn't move! Look at all those windows, trees in the backyard and all that natural light. My friend over at LiveLikeYou did a post on her summer house in Sweden a few months ago. It's so classic Swedish country life! I would turn this room into my art [...]

{Deb from Farm Girl Framing works out of her basement, which I swear is larger than my house! She takes the time to show you all the options that would highlight your painting or photograph.} It was a busy weekend for me. So much so I thought my pulse was going to reach an all time high yesterday. Besides finishing a bridal bouquet and photographing it, doing a few rendingerings for LiveLikeYou.com, and shooting a bridal bouquet video, I took [...]

Benjamine Moore's Nuance magazine profiled Jill Sorensen and LiveLikeYou recently and one of the renderings I do for the company was included. Yay! I can't draw to save my life so Jill is the artist when it comes to the sketching and then I come in with watercolors and do the actual painting. We've been a good team so far. It's always nice to see your own work in magazines and Jill is a rockstar in the media [...]

Fill out this form and receive a free consultation.
How does this work?: I paint from your photographs to create a detailed portrait of a pet or bouquet. I don’t need anything for flower paintings.
Can I give this as a gift?: Yes! A painting is such a thoughtful and considerate gift and many clients choose to do this. Gift certificates are also available.
How do I pick the size of my painting?: Measure out the space to get an idea of how large/small the painting needs to be. I’m happy to give suggestions as well.
What if I have specific colors I want you to use?: Absolutely! The colors are important so we want to make sure they work together.
How long does it take?: A few weeks, but it depends on the size and my schedule. Contact me early so I can pencil you in, especially if you want it for a specific date (i.e. anniversary date or birthday).
What’s the price?: The price depends on the size of your piece. I typically do 50% deposit on the commission with the remainder (plus any sales tax) due once it is finished.
