Baby's Nursery Sign

It all starts with the perfect little baby.

I do a lot of sketches and planning.
Each of these animals has a special meaning  for Whitman, including the family dog, Coco.
 I then transfer the sketches by graphite paper
to a board I have sanded and painted.

I use acrylic paints for the illustrations and lettering.

The final painting is varnished with several coats of acrylic varnish, completed with hangers and ribbon, and mailed off to hang in Whitman's nursery. 

Wedding Logo Stamp Set

This is a great idea for your favorite couple.  The logo stamp can be used for personal stationary, thank you's, escort cards, menus, etc.  The return address stamp makes all that correspondence so much classier!

Personal Stationery

Personal stationery cards with a logo of the client's name done in flourished italic lettering.

Garden Gate

These photos are of a garden gate on a ranch here in Arizona.  It originally came from New Orleans, and rescued and moved after Katrina.

Traditional Invitation

This invitation for an event at The George Washington University was modeled after a handwritten note by Pres. George Washington.  It uses some of his personal shorthand and wording, and is written in Copperplate Script.
The hand addresses envelopes were done a little fancier, and hand delivered.

Wedding Vows

These vows were a gift for the bride and groom.  Lettered in a Copperplate script in black Sumi ink and blue gouache.  Congratulations Christine and Toby!

Birth Announcement

I love this photo the parents sent me for their baby's birth announcement.  The illustration is water colored cherry blossoms.
