Gia's Elephant

This is one of my favorite paintings! I painted this as a gift for my best friend, Libby, and her husband, Chris. They were pregnant with a little girl and I wanted to do something for the nursery. They had an adorable elephant lamp and pillow for the nursery and were decorating the room in pinks and greens. Libby thought going with an elephant theme would be cute, so I came up with this. I loved creating something so girly and I played with texture a bit, too. The centers of some of the flowers are fake fabric and paper flowers I attached to the painting. There is also some "bling" with a few gemstones glued on the flowers. The painting is 30" x 40" and hangs in sweet Gia's bedroom. I found out recently that Gia has to touch the elephant every morning when she gets up. That makes my heart melt.

Paintings for Clara's Closet

These are paintings I did for Clara's Closet. Clara's Closet is a DARLING little spot in Elkhorn, NE. It's the perfect place to host little girls' birthday parties. Kids can choose from a huge assortment of dress-up clothes, get all dressed up, get their nails painted, put on "makeup" and have a fashion show, wedding or tea-party. Check out the link below to find out more.

My sister asked me to paint these and I had so much fun with it. I loved "doodling" the backgrounds and using all the bright colors. I think they are going to look great at adorable Clara's!

Painting for Mr. Rhett

This is a 10" x 10" canvas I painted for my dear friends, Mike and Denise, for their son, Rhett. Mike is a loyal Cubs fan and Rhett's room is adorably decorated with Madras bedding and some baseball-themed accents. I thought this would be a good way to incorporate the theme and personalize it with Rhett's name and "stats."

Dinner Prayer

I first painted this Dinner Prayer for my sister, Stephanie. I have to give her some of the credit of the design, as it was her vision. It has become one of my favorites and I've actually done several in different sizes and colors. It's a great reminder to thank the Lord for all the blessings we have!
