Owl Painting!

My friend's Kristin and Curtis are getting married, and to celebrate their union I made them a watercolor painting! I didn't take any detailed pictures yet, but I have a couple from them opening it at the shower, which is awesome because you can see curtis's expression. This was was a 12" by 12" whater color painting on bristol board with acrylic highlights, layered ontop of textured canvas paper.

Brian's Paintings....

Brian's Loft houses about 5 or so paintings of mine, the first is a recent painting from his birthday in May, the other a painting he purchased at my show last year. Both i'd forgotten about, until I saw them today.

Detroit Free Press Article


The bat zone received a colony of bats, 20+ Through different methods, and 3 butcher houses, they are able to maintain recycled blood for the bat's to drink, providing a rather educational and curious new addition to the bat zone. I'm so excited about them! The detroit free press wrote a great article, and it was on the front page

For a little over a year I have been working with bat's at the batzone, which is located behind the cranbrook institute of science.

Originally I was interested in working with the animals to learn more about my favorite creatures, but I ended up being able to repair their educational bat displays which have bounced around from museum to museum and suffered many cracks and shoty repairs. I was pretty pumped about fixing the displays! Anyways I wanted to share some of my repair photos as well as pictures of the actual animals. Another great thing about working with the animals i'm able to get really close for photos!

My mom's Squirrel Theme Birthday

For my Mom's birthday this year I decided to theme everything around squirrels, I bought her an adorable cement birdbath shaped like a tree with a squirrel drinking from it, Painted a squirrel on the wall mural in the upstairs hallway ( which I pencil sketched about ten years ago), and made a squirrel birthday card, a squirrel eating a sandwich.. because squirrel's love sandwiches! The Squirrel Wall painting is Acrylic, the card is watercolors...
