    As a mommy to one adorable Giuliana, I have a great group of fellow mommies on Instagram that I love to follow who create handmade baby items! A super cute trend that I love is the baby  moccasins!! There is just something about those cute little baby legs wearing brightly colored baby moccs! I love how my daughter inspires me <3 I created her a 5″x7″ Yellow Baby Moccs painting, and matted it to 8″ x 10″ and put it in her room! I LOVE IT!!! I can’t wait to create other in a variety of colors and have them up for sale in the soon to be Etsy shop! Until then, email me for your custom pair!!

    “One Happy Island” – Aruba Painting


    2014 - 03.11

    How great is this: Did you see my previous post on the Allure 8901 Wedding dress a husband bought his wife for their 1 year wedding anniversary? WELL, the wife contacted me 1 hour after him, saying that she would like to get HIM a painting for their 1 year wedding anniversary…without knowing that he was getting her one too! I believe that this is an example of true soul mates!

    They had gone to Aruba for their honeymoon, and Gia, the wife, wanted to incorporate some special memories from Aruba into a split-view painting- The Giwi Tress, Black Stone Beach, the shipwreck that they dove, and a hidden “G+W”.

    Here are the results!

    Custom Wedding Dress Painting- the “Allure” 8901


    2014 - 03.11

    Custom wedding dress paintings are my absolute favorite things to create for brides!

    This one was no exception!!

    Do you remember the “Looe Key” underwater grouper and coral painting that a bride bought her her husband as a wedding gift? For their 1 Year wedding anniversary, the husband bought his wife a custom wedding gown painting as her gift! (See my next post to see what she got him!)

    The background color is a blush pink, which I picked up from her blush bridesmaids dresses.

    The wedding dress is the Allure 8901 Style Wedding Dress.

    My mother just finished remodeling her house, and wanted a new focal point for above the sofa in the living room.

    She found a photo of some black and white calla lilies, and asked me to recreate it for her onto a canvas.

    Here is the finished Acrylic White Calla Lily Painting – 30″ x 48″ x 1.5″

    Underwater Grouper Painting – “Looe Key Sanctuary”


    2013 - 05.24

    This is a gift a bride got for her new hubby for their wedding today!
    He loves diving, and sees groupers, yellowtail snappers, and Florida lobsters on his dives down in the keys. I created the underwater grouper painting / coral reed painting for them as a result, with other painted sea life to bring the painting to life!

    Naples Pier Painting


    2011 - 11.13

    I am so very honored to be given the opportunity to painting a birthday gift for the “President North America” of Christian Dior Perfumes and Cosmetics – Terry Darland. What a wonderful woman! I was asked by the account executive of Christian Dior, Lourdes Vazquez, to recreate a childhood memory for Terry. I found out that one of her favorite memories growing up was visiting her grandmother down in Naples, Florida, and watching the sunset from the Naples Pier.

    Since the pier is nice and long, I wanted to do a panoramic painting on a 12″ x 30′ gallery wrapped canvas.

    I started out doing the sky and clouds, then on to the water, and lastly, the Naples Pier.

    I drove up to Saks Fifth Avenue in Sarasota on 11.11.11 (great wish come true!) to present this gift to her at her luncheon.

    I hope that you all enjoy these photos of the Naples Pier Painting at Sunset as much as I enjoyed creating it!
