It’s the end of an era. At least in Bobo’s Room terms, that is. The paintings that inspired my little company, that reinvigorated my love of artwork, and that are the reason for this website… are gone. Bobo’s room has a new look. The little toddler bed is gone. Replaced by a giant monstrosity of…
Let it be known that I really, really liked the cowboy theme in my son’s old nursery. But, apparently, mom’s opinion doesn’t matter that much. Even when she’s the one doing the painting. Because a two year-old knows exactly what he wants. And it ain’t no stinkin’ cowboys. It’s dinosaurs. We’re a little dino obsessed…
A few years ago, I did a unique set of paintings for little Judah’s Room. What tied those paintings together is the fact that his parents carefully chose artwork that would be symbolic of the meanings of the first and middle names they had selected for their baby.

One of the best things about doing paintings for expectant parents? I get to find out the name of their little darlings before most people. The downside? I have to wait until the baby arrives to post pictures of their paintings. Good thing I love me a secret! Welcome to the world, baby Arianna!
Okay, I dare you to say that five times fast. When Piper’s mom approached me with her ideas for a painting, I was intrigued. The palette was anything but traditional: deep rust orange with highlights of pink and white. Not necessarily your typical colors for a little girl’s room. But I love me a challenge….
The latest artwork, and the last in a line of several pink and brown paintings I have done recently, was this tree-inspired piece for baby Adalynn’s Room.
