Boston Terrier in 18th Century French Dress

I saw this amazing dress in the Metropolitan Museum's collection and I just knew I had to paint it. I thought the Boston Terrier's distinct contrast coloring would be perfect for the red stripes. Prints of the painting is available at my Etsy Store :)

Deer Fawn in Sonia Rykiel Dress

Another painting in my Fashion Animals series, this time, a fawn in a Sonia Rykiel dress which I wish was mine. It's such a cute dress, striped cotton with a polka-dot collar, so perfect for Spring... ah... I can only wish...

For this painting, I used pastels for the background to create a sense of light through a forest.

You can find the dress at NET-A-PORTER.

My first blog!

So... I finally decided to start a blog. I hope I can keep it up-to-date and make it at least somewhat entertaining and worthwhile.

Two days ago, I started a new series of paintings named the "Fashion Animal" series. They are mash-ups of contemporary fashion photography with various animals. I really enjoyed painting these because they combine my love of fashion with my love for art and they remind me of the old master paintings I was working on previously. I have made three Fashion Animal paintings so far but I will be making a lot more...

Pheasant in Vivienne Westwood


Dachshund in Barbara Bui

White Cat in a Hat

All the paintings are available at my Etsy store.
