a few of my favs

Over the past few years of being a graphic designer, I've accumulated quite a few design work. Below are just a few of my favorites.

Pantone Swatch books that are actually study guides for beginning graphic artist with all the terminology and history of typography.

be creative&smart with your daily routine

Being creative doesn't always have to refer to fine arts and crafts, it can be done with ideas and decisions you make in everyday life! One main thing that is in everyone's daily schedule is food. We ALL eat, and with New Year's resolutions on everyone's mind, loosing weight and staying healthy is probably top of the list. Well, for me it surly is! When you think of loosing weight you automatically think of dieting. But dieting isn't always the answer. I've learned that you don't have to give up the foods you love, all you have to do is alter your decisions. It's SO easy! One of my favorite dishes is pizza. Of course if you order out, the calories are thru the roof! What I've done, and you can too, is make a pizza from scratch. It's easy, quick and fun.

First of all, it's best to use a whole wheat crust that you can buy at any local grocery store. Also, another way to cut the fat in half without depriving your taste buds is to use turkey pepperonis and reduced fat shredded cheese. Changes like these can make a world of a difference. Other ingredients for toppigs are tomato sauce, mushrooms, spinach, diced onions and bell peppers, and any other vegetable that you prefer. I also use rotel for an extra kick of flavor. Get creative! Bake it in the oven at 360 for 20 minutes and wah-la, you have a great healthy snack that everyone can enjoy. If you do weight watches, like I do, the point system is about 5 points a slice! Enjoy!

Inspiration is everywhere, if you look hard enough...

In my spare time, I find joy in painting things that I am inspired by.
The human body is one of those things that I feel holds true beauty
with lines, curves, and shadows that can easily be conveyed into a
piece of art. I came into painting this human figure as a request from
my mother who wanted a nude art piece for her Christmas gift.
Upon painting her request, I decided to put an abstract twist into the
art work to make it more visually appealing and colorful.

Materials: Acrylic on Canvas

This second painting came to be after the one above. I loved the concept so much that I wanted to create a mini series of the naked body. This one is more abstract with tons of texture. I plan to a few more to make a collection.
