Hello everyone! Hope you are having a great December so far! We have seen both the snow and felt the heat of the sun during a clear day. With Christmas approaching, I would like to share with you about my coloring books which I know will make for beautiful gifts! Far Above Rubies - a Coloring Companion to a Personal Bible Study on Proverbs 31:10-31 To get it, click here! This coloring book focuses on the passage from Proverbs 31:10-31 about the virtuous wife. You will find illustrations for each verse plus some additional portraits. Each page is left blank on the back so that if you choose to frame your colored-in piece, you can take the page out without sacrificing another image. Proverbs 31 is a wonderful passage written by Lemuel's mother to her son to seek what's precious in the God's sight - a woman who fears the Lord. As you color the pages and think on the verses, see not only the woman and her character, but her marriage, her family life, her work life,...

ACEO stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals. The Artwork always has to measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches but isn't limited to a specific medium or subject. So if you can think it and create it, do it on this format and you might even sell it, because this format has collectors' eyes on it! HOW I GOT TO ACEOs I started creating ACEOs a few years ago. After I moved to the States, I started exploring the waters as an artist and found out many cool things about what an artist can do in America. When I came across ACEOs, I was hooked and I only wished I started a lot earlier when there was a big boom and they were so popular that almost anything you created was sold! I always loved drawing miniatures and so this became a very fun way to create something intriguing and I knew it could have great value. In the past I created several series, some of which were more popular and sold almost instantly (like Watercolor Mermaids, or Colored-pencil Parakeets, or Marker Puppy and Kitty series...

I am an artist.  I love art. I love all the different styles, techniques, mediums. They inspire me, they challenge me, they grow me. But many times I was told that I can't do all of it if I want to be a good artist.  That really confused me. I wanted to be a good artist, but I didn't want to give up everything that I love to do, and only pick one niche. Like, which one is it going to be? Am I going to focus only on portraits? Or only on cartoons? Or fashion designs? I love painting with watercolors too! Oh and don't get me started on realistic line art! Oh, and did you know there was this cool technique called Zentangle? I have to try that out too! Oh, guess what - I really love doing that too! Oh gosh... I am completely all over the place. This can't be good for my portfolio! How will I attract viewers? And more importantly, how will I keep them coming back, if the next time they come, they will see something completely different than what they "signed up...

Welcome back!  I recently restarted my  Youtube channel  and doing an art series has been real fun. And I decided to do selfies because that gives me enough freedom to pick the pose, the expression, the lighting... and to make it more interesting, I am using different mediums and techniques. I record as I draw and then share them as fun speed-drawing videos. Here are the portraits I've done so far.  Congratulations! You've made it through! But really, thank you for coming and checking this all out!

With the warmest greetings possible at this time in March, Kate
