"One shoe can save your life" -Cinderella

So, shoes are some of my favorite things. I enjoy having shoes that are different and are something that will express my personality. I've even done some personalizing to a few of my shoes and I wanted to show them to you! 


These are a pair of Nine West boots that I bought from Goodwill for $3 and then added my personal touch. 

These are my Toms I received this past Christmas. Tom's is a great company that started a "One for One" movement, for each pair of shoes sold the company gives a pair to child in need. This pair was my third pair of Toms that I chose to personalize with my own art work. I'm passionate about other things besides my art and shoes. I've visited the country of Nicaragua four times and have grown to love it as a second home. The images I've chosen for my Toms reflect Nicaragua. I have painted the national bird, the guardabarranco, and an iguana. I've also painted the verse "In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." Job 12:10. The composition of these images express where my heart is and gave me a great looking pair of shoes :) 

This pair of shoes doesn't have a cool story. I just LOVE heels and wanted to personalize a pair. Sadly, I haven't had an occasion to wear these yet but I do love the fun lines! 

This is another pair of Toms I did for a friend. He requested I incorporate his favorite color (green), ultimate frisbee, soccer, The Cardinals baseball team, and Job 40:4-5. So, all of that I combined in to this unique pair of Toms! Hope you like them Boone!! 

Painting on shoes is something I really enjoy. It is a unique canvas that allows me to express myself in a different way than paper. Trying to combine different elements along the contours of a shoe can create a really elegant piece of art. Not to mention shoes are seen by a lot more people than a piece of art on the wall! 

Lets Get Started!

So I just want to warn everyone, I am NEW to blogging and don't really know what to say or how to say it. So please excuse me if this first post is a little rough :) 


Basically, what I want this blog to accomplish is to put my art out in to the world. I enjoy creating. I have a flare for fine arts, crafts, interior design and fashion. So, this blog maybe a little random at times. 


This summer has been a real learning experience for me. I have started to sell art work to family and friends and have been working with an interior designer who has also commissioned art work for clients. I want to share my projects with you as I do them and a blog seemed the best way to share my work with everyone around me. 


Without further adieu, here is a sampling of my work!! 

"Fruta Ducle" Watercolor -2009

"Dinoplasti" Charcoal -2010 These next pieces of art are done on tin from the old Smith barn in Pontiac. These pieces have been selling like candy! If you are interested in any of the ones posted, or have an idea of your own please contact me so we can work something out!

Alrighty everyone! I hope you enjoyed the first post on my blog!! Tomorrow I will be posting more of the tins that I have sold in the past month so keep your eye out!
