Hi! I’m Roxanne

Welcome to my studio! I’m an artist and art educator. I’ve been painting for over 35 years…and love sharing this artist’s life with you!

Art renews and transforms us - whether it’s in our living/working space…or - we are learning to make it. I’d love to share this experience with you, and show you how.

Art for your home, courses and workshops for artists, and art available for licensing.

Here's the visual on how to make that cerulean blue (in this case) float on top of the Indigo with a fun exercise in making a night time sky - and little fireflies added in for fun!

Traveling Light with Watercolor - What do Marie Kondo, Madame Chic, and Swedish Death Cleaning have to do with traveling light?
Traveling Light with Watercolor - What do Marie Kondo, Madame Chic, and Swedish Death Cleaning have to do with traveling light?

Spending most of my adult life as a military spouse, I’ve realized how ‘traveling light’ can make a difference in your life. It’s always been something that fascinates me, and keeps me intrigued. From the first time I moved house from one state to another, with toddler twins, I began to realize how a well curated life affects everyone in the household. It’s not that I’m a bare-bones minimalist….not even close.
