Commissioned: Night Watchman No. 2
I was commissioned to do this work based off my other paper cutting Night Watchman.
Work in Progress
An earlier, in progress shot of a commissioned paper cutting that I just put the finishing touches on.

Art Archive + Updates, etc.
Here’s another little something that was saved from back in the day.. Probably 1st or 2nd grade, maybe? I’ve always been a cat girl. (As I write this.. from my laptop in bed at 4am.. there is a cat sprawled across me trying to block my keyboard).
Anyway, please forgive my sparse posting this week. Tuesday I finished up another illustration for the Bradford Exchange. I’ve got 5 commissions in the pipeline. I’ve also been invited to be part of the Art Auction at Lawrence Arts Center in Lawrence, KS, so I’m working on something for that.
I should also mention that the Gift Shop at the Kansas Museum of History/ Kansas Historical Society is now a retailer of a selection of my greeting cards. So if and when in Topeka, KS, stop by, and edumacate yourself about this lovely state. They are located at 6425 SW 6th Ave.
Sort of..
Learning to write cursive in fourth grade, I think.

Coffee with Country Roads
The snow has finally melted (hoping the forecasted snow for Sunday doesn’t happen)… and it’s spring-like outside and I’m back out on the rural roads having my coffee and taking in the morning light. This morning two ravens flew across the road and as I looked up, a hawk in a nearby tree decided to take flight and flew above and along-side my car for about fifty yards before perching in another tree. I also had the pleasure of waking up a country cat who was lounging in the sunshine… in the middle of the road. These are the things that excite me.
Animation: When Love Is Real
A stop-motion cut-paper Valentine’s Day Greeting.
These are the birdie shadow puppets I made and used for this short animation. I used thin black wire to connect the joints where I wanted the puppet to be able to move.
