{ trailers }
I have been seeing trailers everywhere since I decided to start a series of older travel trailers. Not only are there a few directly across the street and next door to our house but a ton between our us and our parents three hours away (a trip we take quite often). My husband thinks its an odd subject of choice, I on the other hand think the vintage trailer theme is full of fun. So as I promised here are a few more of the trailer pieces.

Exciting news... I recently had the opportunity to be featured in The Source Weekly. Art and style was the topic so not only did I get to wear some amazing clothes I had the chance to talk a little about my art. Even though my name was the one in the tittle my baby girl Elsie was the real scene stealer in her own set of adorable digs. The article turned out great (thank you Mike Bookey). Check it out here...

I actually do not have that many pairs of shoes. I do however, think shoes can be art. I have seen some amazing shoes, I just can not manage to get away from my chacos and rain boots. Vintage shoes are what inspired this painting. I imagined this hanging in a dressing room with a lighted mirrored vanity and a feather collared silk robe. Measures 1 foot wide by 4 feet tall and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. { $267 }

They just don't make'em like this anymore. I just read that the newer generation will not care much about classic or antique things. How sad is that. I on the other hand love old things, including this old truck. I hope this is not the last old automobile you see from me. Measures 2 feet by 2 feet and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. { $397 } SOLD

If an elephant just isn't enough, add an egret! I just discovered this great bird. They have an interesting choice of friends, among which are alligators, hippos and yes, elephants. If you were a small bird in the wild wouldn't you want an elephant on your side, I would. Measures 1 foot wide by 2 feet tall and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. { $267 }

My Mother winced when she heard that I was painting an octopus, she said something close to: they are so mean, can't you paint something that makes people happy? Well, if this doesn't make you happy what can? Once she saw Burt she fell in love, and quickly changed her mind about our friends that octopus. Measures 4 feet wide by 2 feet tall and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. { $397 } SOLD

No animals were harmed in the making of this painting. I grew up at a summer camp in Corbett, if a camper received three or more letters in the mail camp tradition required said camper to "kiss the moose" which hung on the lodge wall. Naturally the moose's name was Melvin. Measures 4 feet wide by 4 feet tall and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. { $387 } SOLD

Sometimes you just want to do something different, Faye is a representation of that. I do think everything looks great with a black outline, maybe this is to prove that it can still be pretty with out the harsh outlines. I think this became one of my favorite pieces because it is undefined and understated. The piece measures 2 feet wide by 4 feet tall and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. { $297 } SOLD

Someone (who will remain nameless) once told me that they used to catch lightning bugs and pull off the glowing rears to stick them around there wrists or neck to look like bracelets or necklaces. I on the other hand would prefer to let them live in a jar but to each there own. Measures 1 foot wide by 2 feet tall and sits on a 2 inch wooden box. {$197}

Albert is inspired by the water tower (aka elevated reservoir says my husband in the water business) across from Sam Barlow High School in Gresham Oregon. The name came from my husbands father who was also in the water business. My favorite thing about this piece is its fresh and clean simplicity. Measures 4 feet tall by 2 feet wide and sits on a 2 inch box. {price $307}

As children our mother taught us that creating something out of nothing is much more gratifying than buying something from a store. I took that lesson to heart. I love to create; painting has been a joy of mine ever since my first piece of art (a Zebra, or a black and white elephant, it is still up for debate). I like to find art in the unusual; a telephone pole, an old mailbox, an abandoned building, and I believe the most amazing masterpiece ever created is the ocean. I am intrigued by the imperfections in art and cannot finish a painting without a black outline.
I feel lucky every day because I have an unbelievable family and a husband who never ceases to go above and beyond for me.
art medium: acrylic on reclaimed wood.
