Wild Buttas










"Mommy look at your Wild Buttas!"
"Daddy need a haircut, he got Wild Buttas!"

This piece was totally inspired by my daughter -Miss "Wild BUTTAS" Amber.
She is a girly girl and loves to be glamorous. Diva already was Never in "training" came out the womb that way.
As I sat looking at the canvas with Amber next to me trying to figure out how and what my love strokes would be... my baby looked up at me and said, "mommy paint my wild buttas and I need some headphones on too." So....here's what will be the first installment of my WILD BUTTA series. Enjoy.

Love Strokes...




I work hard


I play hard


I love hard


I am a lover of nature


a lover of children


a lover of beauty


a lover of love




Love Strokes...




with each piece I create


I allow my hands to caress the canvas


let my mind ease into the smoothness of creativity,


allow the music to warm the blood in my veins




then I STROKE




Love Stroke...
