Enchanted Garden

Slight correction to the original posting. After further review, the Botanic Garden and I have decided to name the month-long exhibit and activities to be called 'Enchanted Garden' as opposed to the original 'Fairytale Festival'. My illustrations will be on display in an interactive set-up for the opening show on August 5th 2010 in conjunction with AJ Frames & Design, Motions Talent, Party Perfect!, Two Face Hair and Make-up and Bernhard Meck, a self-described Environmental Sculptor. The title of the Exhibition is 'World of Wonders' This should be an eclectic exhibition unlike any other the Memphis Botanic Garden has ever seen.

WORLD OF WONDERS

Exhibition Runs August 1-31

Opening Reception

{Botanic Garden Fairytale Festival 2010}

I am currently working on organizing the fairytale festival with the Memphis Botanic Garden for this August. Here is a small sample teaser of the work. The clipping is from my most current Illustration. This is to be part of a series that will be on display. There will be 45 paintings in total for the exhibition. More details will be posted later.

Fairy Tale Tree Series

A few things to update everyone on, First, I will be launching my official website within two months. Secondly, I am working on a continuation series of fairy tale trees. This show will be a part of a 45 series at the Memphis Botanic Garden May 2010. For now, here are some teaser sketches that are going to be painted on wood panel.
Finally, I am doing another continuation series that will be involving CandyLAND. Thank you and I wish everyone many happy holidays!

Just for Fun

I couldn't pass up this opportunity. I decided to create a woman dancing to illustrate her motion throughout my composition.
