This is why a lot of my sculptures are designed to be suspended in … Continue reading Starwhale, polymer clay sculpture

It took a while to build up my confidence, but eventually I found courage to make these mixed media dolls. This is a second art doll I ever created, and it's called Sleepy Owl. … Continue reading Sleepy Owl, art doll
Ever since I got a small garden, I can actually pick flowers and put them in a vase every now and then. I try to use every opportunity I get to paint them, and these mums were perfect for the task.

This is indeed The Pear for me, since it's the first pear I tried to paint with oil paint. I love the way it turned out, and it might even be my favorite painting of the year.
