Wanchai

Meet Wanchai she's a labradoodle. With the sweetest demeanor. She is playful yet gentle. She's a fast learner and  very playful at the right times. She is snugly an loves her big sister. Her favorite toys are a pock-a-dotted squeaky rubber chicken, an antler that is not in the illustration. She loves to chase chipmunks around the yard too. Her human sister enjoys reading and tennis. Both enjoy being out doors and exploring.

Process From a Photo to a Painting

I take a photo


I paint the photo

It's all yours
I have this thing I do, I love to capture a photo an bring it life in a painting. It brings me great joy to challenge myself to recreate exactly as my eye sees it. Reality is our brain sees or hears something and we reinterpret its the way we can best understand it by mimicking our depiction. 
That right there is the challenge. I enjoy doing commissions for this very reason.

First Ever Solo Art Show September 2012

Hanging for the show
Art hung for the show
 My first ever solo show I was a nervous wreak. The show was at http://www.club209tulsa.com/

We had 30 different pieces to hang. We had a fabulous turn out. Many of my friends came out in support and so many people I didn't know. This was a huge success to both my mind and my career as an artist.  
Refreshments for the show

What an amazing spread of Yummys

So many spring rolls we tried to trade them on Craig's list

Me & my wonderful supporters
