Frost

Frost on my windows—just one of my favorite things. The intricacy is fantastically beautiful.

Pearls on pearls on curls.

I have seriously been obsessing over this look recently. The classy look of a pearl necklace with the feminine softness of a slight curl in my (getting super long) hair. Super adorable and really fun!!

Anchors Away.

Sometimes I like to paint what I've instagrammed. This is a perfect example of taking something I saw and adding my personal touch to it. The original photo was taken at McConnells Mills and it took me 8 hours to translate it into a piece of art. The painting is on a wood panel and done with only black and white acrylic.

DeadBuryDead and McConnells Mills.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of working again for one of the greatest clothing companies Pittsburgh has to offer, DeadBuryDead. We took an adventure up to McConnells Mills for a shoot and had such a blast! With the help of my trusty rainboots, I got to climb waterfalls and walk into some mini caves!! We had such a great time and I can't wait to see the finished shots from the day!

Christmas Gifts

This past Christmas season I decided to do some very special gifts for the people I care about most. As a painter, I figured I would create a few items as gifts for people!

The first person I painted something for was my best friend Sandi. I knew that as a painter herself she would appreciate this piece.

The other person I painted a piece for was for Jason. He went to school for architecture so I knew he would love this piece.

I would love your thoughts on these pieces!! Thanks!:)

Hope everyone loves it!

Ombré ombré ombré.

All over Pinterest and other blog sights ombré style everything is popping up! I tried my take at ombré nails this past week but added a little extra to make 'em pop!

Try to stay in the same color scheme and fade out the colors on your nails. I took the end of a toothpick and added cute little spots to my thumb as a little extra detailing! I LOVE how they turned out!
