OPEN HOUSE

Yes everyone! It's finally happening. After having my studio in Occoquan, Kelly's Artbox, for over a year now I am finally having my open house in collaboration with Lisa Julia Photography (http://www.lisajuliaphotography.com). It is Sunday, October 5th, from 11-6PM.

There will be all kinds of awesome things like homemade food, drinks, storytelling and face painting for the kids. There will also be some sweet deals from me and Lisa. I'll be offering $75 off any mural over $200 and specials on jewelry. Lisa is offering her session fee as a print credit for the first 3 bookings.

You'll also get to meet us, and see some gorgeous artwork and photographs!

Hope to see you there!

Kate Pastel Portrait

As a portrait artist in northern Virginia, sometimes I need to do something to help me remember that art isn't just my job, it's my passion. I have decided to do a series of celebrity portraits from my favorite tv shows.

Some of you might remember seeing my "HOUSE" portrait I did of Hugh Laurie a couple weeks ago-- well here's the second in my series of celebrity tv stars. Evangeline Lily who plays "Kate" on LOST.

This portrait is available for purchase in my etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15335886

Prints will be available soon!

More photo frenzy

I am an artist in the Northern Virgina area, but my current hobby has been trying to get back into using my Pentax K camera! I am trying to branch out on my artsyness with my photography I think-- but I still love photographing anything nature.
