IFDA Dining By Design set-up day, 2012

2022-03-10T08:09:06-07:00

Finally I've had a chance to "process" all of my photos from the 2012 Dining By Design event. Our (IFDA) table scape was one of the best! We definitely had a lot of energy in this space and a lot of time and thought went into our Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-meets-Lost theme. Dining by Design is [...]

Floravita’s Reverse Painted Lamps

2022-03-10T08:09:07-07:00

As corny as it may sound, my rooms no longer feel "complete" without my reverse painted lamps turned on. My first lamps were created for a gallery—Sorrel Sky Gallery in Durango, Colorado—and I felt guilty for not shipping them immediately after completion. Instead, I grew accustomed to them in my living rooms. I was really [...]

Tropical Flower Mural in Floravita’s Main Gallery Room

2022-03-10T08:09:08-07:00

I'm going to miss this tropical flower mural in my main gallery room...but alas, all good things must come to an end. One week from tomorrow this tropical flower mural will be installed at the San Francisco Design Center for the 2011 Dining By Design charity fundraiser. I think this wall will feel empty after [...]

Floravita Painted Night Lights, grab ’em while you can!

2022-03-10T08:09:08-07:00

My hand-crafted, hand painted glass night lights have been a work in progress for over two years. Like anything good, it took me a good solid year to figure out how I would mount the fixtures, what fixtures I would use and how I would approach the painting of my subjects. It then too me [...]

Beautiful New, Floravita Reverse Painted Chandelier in Rose Colors

2022-03-10T08:50:36-07:00

It's been a very busy month in my studio and I've juggled commissioned reverse painted chandeliers, painted lamps and even a mural sized oil painting for a national fundraiser. In fact, most of the summer season was spent working on commissions. Don't get me wrong—I love commissions but it's also very gratifying as an artist [...]

Tropical Flower Mural for 2011 Dining by Design Finished!

2022-03-10T08:50:37-07:00

Finally, my tropical flower mural is finished! This is really a very lovely oil painting in person. It has very 'designer' colors in the background and will look lovely in our table-scape for the upcoming 2011 Dining by Design, which will be hosted at the San Francisco Design Center Galleria in two weeks. There will [...]

The art of living life in the ‘now’

2022-03-10T08:50:37-07:00

It's so easy to get caught-up in waiting for the future. Every now and then I have to remind myself to live more for "now" and I suspect that many people are the same in this respect. We set goals, reach for them, work hard. As a working artist and a business person I must [...]

Beginning To Paint The Background

2022-03-10T08:50:37-07:00

The background of this large, tropical jungle flower painting will be done loosely with a different mixture of colors that will create light. I will use a large amount of soft mixing white with my "sunlight" hues which include yellow ochre and cadmium yellow with some sap green. These will be the background tones that [...]

Commissioned abstract hand painted chandelier

2022-03-10T08:50:38-07:00

Here is a commissioned abstract hand painted chandelier that that was finished within the last month. I worked closely with my collector to create a piece that would compliment the colors in her dining room. My collector has an art collection that is primarily composed of abstracts with warm jewel colors. Her art collection is [...]

Commissioned Reverse Painted Glass Chandelier for Kauai home

2022-03-10T08:50:38-07:00

This is a recent commissioned reverse painted glass chandelier that is destined for a lovely new home on Kauai. Birds of paradise are my client's favorite flower. We decided that this piece would be multicolored like many of my tropical bird and flower chandeliers. Tropical themes are my forte—they are my chosen life-long artistic direction [...]

Hawaiian Inspired Commissioned Hand Painted Chandelier

2022-03-10T08:50:38-07:00

I loved creating this special commissioned hand painted chandelier. This piece was created for a couple (who have also become friends as they are in my artist community) and will be moving to Florida. The actual chandelier is inspired by their memories of Hawaii. All of the flowers in this piece were from my client's [...]
