Custom Order Canvases
Here you will see some examples of custom-order pieces I have done. Most are privately owned but some are
available for purchase. Take a look around and find ones that inspire you or your child. Are their certain features
you see in some of these pieces that you would like to see in your own canvas? Let me know & I can help you
create a piece that is a perfect match for you or your child, whatever their age. The sky is the limit here. Customorder
canvases are great for any age, infant to the young at heart. All sizes are available here. You can order one
as small as 4x6 to as large as 5 x 6 feet or larger!
These are also a great alterative to a mural. Sometimes people prefer the artwork to be able to move with them
from home to home or they would like to pass down the piece from one generation to the next. Canvases allow you
the freedom to do whatever you would like to do. There is no concern about having to leave the artwork behind
when you move or painting over the art if your child is ready to move to college. Also, you are free to move
furniture around the room without worrying about blocking the artwork because you can just move the artwork
around as well. Another advantage is these can be shipped to you whereas murals I need to complete on location.
So if you live in California you can still enjoy one of these pieces of artwork.
These canvases are great for any occasion. They can be a unique holiday or birthday gift. A way to welcome home
a newborn baby or to send off with your college bound young adult. Canvases are also ideal to help create a
soothing, fun environment in pediatric offices, pediatric hospitals or any place that services children young or old.
The main focus with these is flexibility, inspiration and creating a warm, happy environment to help inspire children
and those who care for children. The sky is the limit here.
These canvases are priced individually due to the wide range of options. The main things that affect pricing are: the
size of the canvas, the level of detail, the style chosen, whether or not you include your child’s portraiture in the
painting, and shipping costs. I will work with an budget so let me know if there is a price range you prefer to stay
within and I can work with you to make sure a piece is created that is representative of your needs and budget. No
project is too large or too small and all are welcome. So if you have any questions just contact me on my contact
page and I will work with you to create a piece of art that inspires & warms your child’s heart.

Intuitive Artwork
In this section you will find some examples of artwork I have created for the soul purpose of just using my intuition to paint & just letting go of the end results. What I have discovered by doing this process is a deeper beauty unfolds on the canvas that I could never have created if I sat down & tried to first envision what I wanted to create ahead of time. This section is meant to inspire listening to your own gut or Intuition & just letting go because what I have found when I do this in any facet of my life is I experience a deeper beauty that I could never have created otherwise. These pieces are created with the intention of healing at the soul level & inspiring myself & others. I always use energy work when creating these pieces. They are great for healing purposes, relaxation, meditation & just pure enjoyment at the deeper soul level. These are the pieces that I find children are naturally drawn to because kids are great at listening to their own intuition & letting go. If you would like to order an original or print of any of these pieces ( Fairy Guardian is only available as an original), just contact me regarding your order. In addition, if you would like a custom order piece created just let me know. Prices will vary from piece to piece based on size & complexity. I can work with all ideas, sizes & price ranges. Feel free to inquire with any questions you may have regarding this section & remember to connect in with your soul self & just let go.... Namaste.

In this section you will see an example of a children's book I recently completed, Agnes Rose's One Song. If you would like to view more pages from this book just contact me & let me know. I am looking to create illustrations for publications that are looking to inspire & bring joy & happiness to the readers. If you are looking to hire me for illustration services I would also suggest viewing my other styles of artwork that I have created in the Intuitive Artwork & Portraits Section. In addition, I am also creating a series of fantasy portraits with an emphasis on drawing the viewer into what feels like another world, but, a world that feels captivating & exciting to enter. These would be great examples of what could be created for book covers. I look to create artwork that matches the needs of each project & work to lure the viewer into the artwork & into their own imagination....

This artist works from photos, so all you need to do is email the photo(s) you would like turned into a portrait.

Several of these portraits have been commissioned to help raise money for Infant ALL, a rare & aggressive type of pediatric cancer that has not received much funding but has affected many babies & young children, as well as their families & friends. This artist is commited to using her artistic ability to give back to the community. One way this can happen is by using the portraits as a fundraiser to help raise money for pediatric medical research.
