Taking Kitty Home (Growing Up Show 7)

Finished another painting for this fall's Growing Up Show. This one depicts me taking my new kitten home from my parents farm. He later went on to cry the entire trip home.

Belly Shots

I received samples in my email of my maternity photo shoot with friend Angelica Borsellino today. For four years Angelica & I worked together as illustrators before going separate directions and starting our freelance careers. I hope that by posting these photos of my belly her business will continue to grow and bloom!

Doctors & Derrieres 4

Doctors & Derrieres (forth annual) was such a lovely event to partake in this year. It was my second time donating art for the event and while I didn't stay to see my last piece sell (my pregnant body was complaining about all the standing around) I know that it did make it's way into someone's home. I would like to thank everyone who came out and especially to the two lovely people who bought my art!

Here are my two favorite pieces from the evening:
Gabe Wong's digital mixed media piece:



Amanda Woodward's painted piece (and my stylish hubby in the background - he makes his first appearance in this blog-o-sphere world of mine):





A view wee of the show and it's "bidders":

And me, my piece on Tammy and Jr. ;)

Doctors & Derrieres 4 THIS FRIDAY

Thought I'd remind anyone who reads this blog and lives in my home town of Edmonton that Doctors & Derrieres 4 is happening this Friday, May 8 from 7-11pm. Roger was kind enough to include one of my donated pieces in the media release sample. Hope to see some of you there!

Note: Great little diddy - Illustrators unite against cheap clients in the recession!

"La La Laura" 2009

I often enjoy sketching more than I do painting. There is so much freedom present in the sketch process.

* Still painting for the book "Fix-It Garage"... will show you work from it as soon as I am able.
