Cocoa & Hearts News....

I've had several inquiries about the next round of Cocoa & Hearts paintings that will launch. Well, I decided that I'll be adding a few more to the gallery sometime before my trip to NYC on October 22. 


So, if you want to be the first to hear about it, make sure you subscribe to the mailing list on the Cocoa & Hearts homepage. Unfortunately, I can't hold paintings so if you see it, grab it before it goes!!


I also have a few commissions that I'll be doing as well..... I may have room for one more...but I'm limited in time.  


At this time, everything is SOLD OUT except for 2 paintings, you can go to the large gallery to see the 2 that are still available!

Matter of Words Exhibit

Last week I was able to go to the Museum of Art at BYU and was blown away by the current exhibits. They were all very well-thought out and amazing if you are local, you should really take a trip. The current feature exhibit of Carl Bloch's paintings is out of this world and I was also drawn to the gallery which featured contemporary artists called 'Matter of Words' that is all about communication and the printed word. The curator Jeff Lambson said this about the exhibit "The words we choose reflect our mindsets and establish our connections to our physical and social environments.”

Adam Bateman did the above site specific book sculpture which included over 80,000 pounds of books that were donated along with these book rubbings that were all quite remarkable.




John Fraser did these stunningly simple and beautiful book cover and spine works that I found myself gasping at in a good way.




 Harrell Fletcher in collaboration with Veda Epling to create these outstanding color-coded bible prints.

Something that I find most fascinating about contemporary art like this is not only the eloquent simplicity but also the conceptual thinking behind all of the works that takes you to a deeper level. Things often have more meaning the longer you look...

Office Update & Thoughts...(Via Made By Girl)

This is a pic I shot today of my office with the updated black wall behind the shelves. You can also slightly see the 108" white curtain panel to the left. That glass door goes out to a lovely 3rd story balcony.... very convenient when I want to get some fresh air during the daytime. 


I'm REALLY considering changing out the WHITE drapes to either black, an IKAT, or a thin-lined zebra pattern.  What do you think?? Ideas??

P.S. All the ARTWORK currently in my office is painted by me....
