  • Baby Girl in a Purple Hat with a Ferret

    $_12I love ferrets. I’ve wanted to add one to our family for a long time but I read they tend to get adrenal disease and insulinoma after the age of 3 in their around 8-year life span.
    I love their curiosity and their little hands.
    When I painted her I got inspired by Dandy Mott from American Horror Story, and his front forehead curls. 🙂

    She is 5.5-inches by 7.5-inches and is done with acrylic paint directly on a vintage photo.

    This piece is sold and lives in a private collection.

  • Louder improved photo

    This improved photo was inspired by a deaf friend that had this amazing collection of vintage hearing aids he was sharing with me. I have a great interest in medical “helpers” from the past – it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come in such a short time. His collection was amazing to me and contained strange devices that were developed to aid the deaf in hearing. He joked with me later the title of this piece is how I like my music – LOUDER.

    The technique used is hand painted acrylic on vintage photo
    Dimensions are approx. 4.25 x 6-inches
    This piece is Sold and lives in a private collection now.

  • My Mother Made Me Wearing Matching Hats Original Outsider Art

    Pic-12022014-002My mother used to LOVE to dress us alike…. it was fine except for the clothes she chose for me were cringeworthy. Not to mention if they were bought, they were bought a size or three too large so I could grow into them, or worse, she made them and they would never fit quite right.

    This piece is available for sale at Ebay for $26


  • Spinsters at the Nebrahoma Ladybug Ball

    Pic-12022014-001In 1890s Nebrahoma, any unmarried woman over 16 was considered a spinster and it was socially unlikely she’d ever marry after that point. But for one last shot, there was the Ladybug Ball and Social Dance where eligible ladies wore their best antennae and tried to connect with fine husband material.

    This outsider art is painted directly on a vintage photo with acrylics and is sealed under varnish.
