Pictures from 'Take a Walk in Her Shoes!'


This past Thursday I had the honor of participating in the second annual 'Take a Walk in Her Shoes' fashion event. I created 4 large paintings of women as 'guardians' of our world and was pleased with the result.

With just about 2 weeks of working time, I spent nearly every day furiously painting, blasting Florence and The Machine and subsisting on a diet of primarily coffee in attempts to finish the images on time. (On a side note, Lungs is my current favorite painting-soundtrack. Gets my elbows moving!)

I was nothing less than thrilled when I was finally able to sit infront of the finished printed posters without any major art-tastrophies.



At 24 x 36, they are the largest images I have created and it was awesome to be able to donate them to such a fantastic cause.

Below is a picture from the event, with Guardian I up on an easel in an inner room of the show. (I am not sure who the nice folks are in the picture however)


Prints of the paintings are available for purchase through my site :)
