Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce Mural

Ithaca Aerial View
Earlier this month I submitted two proposals for murals at the local Chamber of Commerce and I just heard back that my conference room mural has been picked!

The mural will depict an aerial view of Ithaca at sunset/sunrise. I am especially excited to be painting clouds, as they are a small obsession of mine.

Check out @thisisIthaca on Instagram to see the beautiful photography that inspired this mural.

Hoping to get started painting soon!

I was excited to hear today that one of my portraits has been included in the Camelback Gallery Portraits show. I believe it can be viewed for the next three months on their site and will be published in Art Week and Art Base publications. I really enjoyed some of the other portraits chosen and I hope you'll get a chance to take a peek before it's down.

Sciencenter Minimurals Unveiled

9/26/2021

The Sciencenter held the mini-mural unveiling event today. It was a beautiful sunny day and some really inspired work on display. I hope you'll be able to stop by and take a look. I want to give a big shout out to Caleb Thomas of Ithaca Murals and Ms. Phoebe Brown for connecting me with the children you see featured in my mural. More than anything, I was so delighted to hear that they were pleased with the way the mural came out, after all, they live in the neighborhood and will have to see their faces on the wall for some time.

Uplifted Ithaca created this lovely video of the unveiling.

Soup Kitchen Fundraiser

I recently participated in a fundraiser to support a local soup kitchen. Donors who pledged $25 or more got a portrait sketch by a local artist. Here are some of the sketches that I did. This was a great experience and raised over $1000 dollars for the soup kitchen. I hope this will become an annual event.

Kids are back in school so our days are fuller and shorter now. Doing some cloud studies after they are in bed. Enjoying the beautiful sunsets before the long, grey winter ahead. I've finished four of them now. Take a look in the portfolio section under landscapes if you'd like to check them out.

Sciencenter Mural

I am thrilled to have been chosen to do a mural for the local children science museum. As a biologist and a mom of small kids, I am particularly excited about this venue. The mural will cover all the area seen in blue above and will depict a Maine coast scene, starting with a beach on the right and heading underwater on the left. The mural will accentuate the touch tank and submarine exhibits in the room. Below are the before and 'during' picture of the progress so far. Currently working on the millions of pebbles on this pebble beach.
