Octopus and Ladder designs

This ‘Tree of life’ project I recently completed was an incredibly fun journey. I worked on this project when only the wonderful staff were around. The best part was being there when the place was alive and bustling with families, hearing little comments float around when someone would notice a change to the painting.

2025 was incredibly busy and I often complete SO many random projects, without remembering to take pause to give them the moment they deserve. So let’s start with this beauty. “Whispers and waves” was commissioned by a dear friend and drove me to the brink😜 at a point I struggled with every brush stroke worrying if it would be good enough (I think any artist can relate) my wonderful friend came in several times to relax my nervous system and offer very sound advice. I had lots of notes and encouragement from my husband and boys. In the end I was incredibly happy with how it turned out. More importantly so is the owner sometimes art takes a village too!✨

Some miniature work!
The tiny Grandfather clock that has a tiny mouse home under the top.
The tiny clock sits in a library that’s part of an ongoing miniature project built within an actual Grandfather clock.

I can now confirm with 100% certainty that cuddling baby poultry is the cure for everything. I was lucky enough to get to hang out with Ryan Gosling (the goose) and Chubby Chicken❤️ thank you
