Floravita’s Reverse Painted Lamps

By |November 8th, 2011|Categories: Glass Blog|Tags: , , , , , , , , |

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

By |November 7th, 2011|Categories: Painting Blog|Tags: , , , , , , , |

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 [...]

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 [...]

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’

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 [...]
