I'm excited to share a new illustrated book, Duskie the Owl! This book was written by my husband Matthew Gindling, and I created the artwork. Check it out in my shop now!
    I had fun illustrating these winter scenes recently. I'm delighted with how this new book by Loni Hoots turned out! A Little Bird Holiday is now available on Amazon.
 I'm excited to offer some new customizable e-cards! Send these e-cards via text message, email, or social media! You can personalize and download these cards to 10 times, so that you can use for different occasions. Check out the different cards, including a sloth, mouse, kitties, snail & caterpillar, and sea turtle.
         I recently had the pleasure of creating the illustrations for Little Bird Meets Anne Marie, the second book in this series by by Loni Hoots! This sweet children's poem features the adventures of a little red bird and his new squirrel friend. It is now available on Amazon.
       I wanted to share a couple of photos from the past two art exhibits at Pieces: The St. Louis Board Game Bar! They hosted a fun dog-themed art exhibit through the month of September, and are now hosting a cat-themed art exhibit this month. You can find a few of my illustrations for sale, along with some other beautiful artwork! Proceeds from the art sales benefit Tenth Life Cat Rescue.
Check out Pieces for a huge selection of board games you can play while you drink and eat. I highly recommend their yummy vegetarian options, including the rice bowls and cookies.    Here are a few of my illustrations that were on display at SOHA Studio and Gallery's annual Holiday Gift Show this past December. I always enjoy visiting this show, and usually come away with several new treasures. This year was no different - I found a beautiful glass ornament and fun illustrated card to take home! December's show featured a collection of wearables, ornaments, housewares, and art by over sixty St. Louis makers. Thank you to those of you who supported St. Louis artists!
    For month of July, I will be sketching jungle and rainforest critters! You can follow along on my Facebook page, Twitter, and this blog. In addition to the handful of jungle illustrations I've done in the past, I will be sharing some new ink and watercolor sketches. Eventually, all of these critters will be appearing in a new jungle and rainforest themed coloring book!
I'm currently working on some new illustrations featuring cute critters with a fantasy feel. View four of the new critters below. I'm aiming to have these available starting in June!     |
