I just got back from a wonderful week of creativity and learning at the Scottsdale Artists School in Arizona with NY based and world renowned artist, Milt Kobayashi. I painted five paintings in five days and this painting is where I finally “got it” and all those hours standing next to his palette while he did his daily morning demos came together for me. I can’t wait to get back to work and let his teachings evolve through me and my brushes.

I am thrilled to announce that the owner of  ”Pure Hot Yoga” in The Dalles just this past week invested in a lovely collection of my Buddha and Surf Art acrylic originals, giclees and prints to decorate her yoga studio. It is moments like this that make me especially grateful that  my art can warm someone’s heart and be in a space where yoga teachings are shared and explored. Thank you Shannon!!!

Playing with the rollers for a fun effect on this commission.

That hole in the wall on the top right side is where a painting sold and was taken home to go under a Christmas tree. :)

Nov 4-6 marked the days of the Vancouver Yoga Conference where I sold both originals, giclees and prints of my Buddha Art. I secured  7 new US and Canada based yoga studios to sell my buddha art prints and the feedback on my art was sooooo overwhelmingly supportive that I have decided to do the Toronto Yoga Conference for a second time in March 2012. woohoo!!

This commission was just completed for a friend in the aircraft industry…actually his fiance comissioned me as it will be her Christmas present to him. :)

This event launches in three weeks and Kristin Boese , Sky Solbach and crew will have finally pulled off the inaugural Kite Surf Pro tour 2011. I am honoured to be the featured artist invited to create surf art for their posters.
