The Bonnie Blues

When I think of the blues, I think red. The flaming red hair and fiery guitar licks of the great guitar goddess herself, Ms. Bonnie Raitt.

He's Just A Sweet Primadonna

Most Struts fans agree that Luke Spiller could comfortably fill the platform shoes of Dr. Frank N Furter for a Rocky Horror remake. His classic pretty yet, masculine features, bone chillingly delicious vocals and clipped Brittish accent make him a prime choice for the cult classic role. I painted this with loving care and tender regard for details using several prototypes including a frontal facial photo taken by renowned concert photographer, Barry Sigman (my adorable husband) So the question on everyone's mind is, if you were offered the role of Frank N, would you take it, Luke? Just remember, if you don't, you'll be wrrrlllllapped in your regret!

Peyton's Kiss

Out of all the paintings I've ever done, Peyton's Kiss has the most endearing story of all.

Caylee Anthony: Always and Forever

This is one of the most bittersweet drawings I've ever done. On July 5th, 2011, when the jury reached a verdict for Casey Anthony, a part of all of us, died that day. She was found innocent for the death of her daughter, Caylee. I have always felt a sense of frustration over this case. That's what inspired me to make this rendering of Caylee. It gave me a new mission and purpose.  Rather than helplessly fret over senseless murders like this, I plan to draw other victims and place them in a Gallery in which 100% of the proceeds will go to the victim's families. As for Caylee, she rests in the arms of Jesus. And for her mother, Casey: you may be free here on earth but the devil is preparing a special jail cell for you in the next life. Repent and confess.
