Spring 2021

Happy belated spring friends. Been busy with art, taking care of my parents, and working on my new shop right here on my website. Life’s been a juggling act, but good. Looking forward to uploading new items for sale right here and on my Etsy account. Here’s to the rest of Spring and the beginning of summer 2021. Here’s some new rock art drawings from rocks in my yard and from walking around the block.

Goodbye 2020, Hello 2021

Heroes Work Here Flag. Photo taken while my dad was receiving radiation treatment at St. Peter’s Hospital. Albany, New York.

2020 was the most awful year. With COVID-19, over 1/2 a million deaths throughout the United States, local businesses shutting down, it just makes me sick. Now that there’s a vaccine, hopefully things will get better. Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday, and here’s to a prosperous new year. Looking forward to working on new, handmade items, and more in the year 2021. Working on a new artjournal, hearts, & graphic design items. Looking forward to showing you.

Autumn 2020, A Work Of Art

Autumn always amazes me with the colors outside & the comfortable temperatures. Inspired by the photos and creating drawings is my favorite thing to do. With the colors at their peak, I figured I’d better grab some snapshots before the leaves fall off the trees.

Walking around the block and finding the unique leaf on the ground is another thing that inspires me. Walking around the block with Ginger (my dog) is another thing I like to do. The crispy air, crunching leaves, and no humidity. Nature is a work of art all around, here’s autumn. Hope you enjoy the photos I’ve taken.

A Trip Down Memory Lane With Tablet Drawings

​Ever since this talent I have had surfaced years later, I’ve been working hard with my tablet and sketch book. Now after discovering that I can draw, I figured it was time that I did my own logo for business cards and other things. I’d like to welcome you to my new logo for LMProck. It’s my version of a bohemian daisy at midnight. Made 2years ago.
