    About Me: Of course I could start my biography with writing that I started painting from the moment I could hold a pencil in my hands.....of course I could write that I couldnt imagine my life without art by my side.....but I think I will be just brutally honest and will say that I AM AN ARTOHOLIC . Yep.... My life started at 28 July 1970 and from than and on art was always following me. I simply couldnt get away from it because it was always by my side like a guardian dog. It is my daily breath of fresh air, my thoughts, feelings and simply jokes that I can transform into something very visual. I enjoy every tiny moment of my creations simply because they are part of me. I LOVE art and I hate writing biographies so it will be probably a very short one. I consider myself as a VERY lucky person. I live together with my best in the world husband Etienne, two kids Melody and Daniel and bunches of pets (and when I say bunches I truly mean it...). I am full time self employed illustrator/artist and good part of it that I being actually paid doing something I love so much. Another incredibly lucky part that it happens that many other people like my art too - so it is being sold, licensed and used all through the world by companies, publications, magazines and just private people (over 500 last year!). Do you know that it is actually a great feedback to know that my art is making somebody feel better? Thank you my fans - you are the best! And now go to the best part, I promise it will be "talking" much better than my bio - just go and visit my gallery...........

    I think it is the second of the most emotional paintings of mine..... I feel better after painting it.....

    "So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters


    Never opened myself this way
    Life is ours, we live it our way
    All these words I don't just say
    and nothing else matters

    Trust I seek and I find in you
    Every day for us something new
    Open mind for a different view
    and nothing else matters

    never cared for what they do
    never cared for what they know
    but I know

    So close, no matter how far
    Couldn't be much more from the heart
    Forever trusting who we are
    and nothing else matters "

    My White wolf

    Sunday, March 30, 2008, 06:10 AM [General]

    I guess from the moment she was deadly sick and I was sitting with her, still a tiny puppy, holding her in my hands and singing her lullabys - she still remembers. Simply because she is my real "tail". She follows what I am doing and get CRAZY excited even from the simple tiny attention I give her..... and with so many pets you always need to divide an attention, so nobody will feel "left out"...... so if I even look at her and say her name.......SNOWY! - she is all over me and holding my hand in her teeth.....not really biting but just holding it strong, to keep me near so I will not go anywhere :) 

    Typical wolf behavior I guess.....

    I still remember tiny icon that I have with her as a puppy.... she had one ear hanging and was looking so funny.....

    Now she is huge.... a real White Wolf......

    I saw a PBS series on how dogs came about, and was surprised to hear that their brains became smaller, in that they didn't need them to survive with humans. So I wonder... what is it like living with such an intelligent being as the wolf? What do you see that differs from having a dog?

    Beautiful wolf, btw!

    Guided meditation CD release and much more

    Monday, March 24, 2008, 09:05 AM [General]

    Where oh where should I start :)....

    Probably from the point that weather today is full with soft butterfly like snowflakes that I can see through my window... almost a real fairy magic.

    I just listed two new ACEOs which are also probably inspired by it.

     

    And now for the really new releases, as I promsied there are much more coming :)

    NEW GUIDED MEDITATION CD - GUARDIAN (click on the image to go to the ebay shop)

    I am truly proud of this release, all who remember may be I was offering guided meditation CDs about 4 years ago - and they were truly a big hit! :) I still have several copies of them myself and using them once in awhile when I am on a "self-search".



    I have also updated my LICENSING page with new links and removed some old ones. If you noticed I have cancelled my contract with Quick Silver Dragon due to the mess with royalties and non updating information about them.

    New categories were as well added to my Ebay shop:

    T-SHIRT TRANSFERS
    FRAMED ORIGINALS


    ...and some more.... to see them all please visit my EBAY SHOP

    Another artist! Awesome! Check out my site if you like. I used to make money with my art but as I got older, well, things changed and now I am trying to make it thru 3D art. How did you get so successful? On eBay too!! :^) Congrats!

    Dear Maria, thank you for joining our EF community, it's wonderful to have your company & lovely work here. I too adore rainbows & chase them often - after the rain they sometimes bless me by appearing over to the east from us & I just have to watch until the last bit of colour fades...
