New Book Arrives

I just received my advance copy of my new book, Acrylic Painting for Encaustic Effects. Thank you Brittany and the F&W team for bringing my dreams and ideas to print. I will be sharing some previews here on the book so stay tuned. It is available for pre-order on Amazon. It is the #1 on painting new releases.

Me doing the happy dance!

The New Book

It's available for pre-order

My fifth book is now available for pre-order and I've heard that it is North Lights #1 painting book being pre-ordered. I am very excited. This book has been very dear to my heart for the two years it has been in the making. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have had fun creating it.

Seth Apter, mixed media instructor, author, designer and wonderful artist, linked my book in his blog, The Altered Page. He has been writing his blog for eight years now. I am impressed and I hope to follow in his footsteps. Check out all of his offerings, including a whole new mixed media line. Congratulations Seth!

I am also going to be featured in a blog post Sunday on Mixed Media World. This is a fantastic and creative blog hosted by Ingrid Kristina V out of the UK. Thank you Ingrid for inviting me to share. She is sponsoring some very fun art challenges and of course, she is all about textures. I love it!

A Peek

paint on steel

Hey everybody, here is a peek at what we are working on in Cincinnati this week. That's right, book #4 is in the process of being shot. I can't say too much except that it is going to be Awesome! If you ever wanted to know how to paint on anything, this will be your book. I'll post some more pics from the photo shoot.

Workshop Whirlwind

I have been traveling and teaching workshops from NM to TX and VA. I have met so many fabulous creative people and shared stories and art. I got home with enough time to unpack and repack for the next journey. I am off to Cincinnati, OH to photograph the steps for my fourth book. This has been my favorite book to create because it has pushed me beyond what I know. The working title is Alternative Surfaces, and it will give you all the info on how to paint on surfaces like cement, glass and aluminum. There are over 35 surfaces we cover, and if you are familiar with the other books, you know how much info is crammed into them. Now we just have to convince our editor Kristy that we really can fit it all in. I'll post some pics from the photo shoot.
