It was such an honor to be in Casey Child's Art Studio and see this incredible painting up close! Hearing him speak about the historical details as well as the research and process behind this piece was an amazing opportunity! It's worth a trip to see!  It will be hanging in the LDS Church History Museum this fall. 

Thanks Chris for the opportunity to paint Matthew's "Man Cave!" 

I enjoyed every minute of it. I look forward to seeing it with the Lego shelves and carpet!

My toad finished a self-portrait today! He’s an excellent student.

Nice pose for a toad!

Thank you Mary Sauer for taking the time to share your art with me! 

Hearing your personal insight about the pieces in your show was so inspiring.

Sketch Book samples

I use my sketchbook as a place to explore ideas, mediums and technique.

My art is influenced by my observation and love of nature!

This sweet girl lives in my neighborhood. I like to sketch and paint the people and things I see.
