New Year, New Art

I am so excited to share a little bit of what I've already started working on this new year.

Back before kids I worked for the San Diego Zoo for about 14 years!  But sadly that also meant that when I moved away to London I was just about burn out on looking at anything animal related.  As much as I absolutely love animals and all the good work the zoo does I had no desire to draw an animal.  Besides, in my head, my days of art and fashion were about to begin....  Well that never really happened,  I got pregnant with my little girl and decided that it was time to come back to San Diego after a dreamy year in London.

My days of drawing children began.  It's been fun, it's made me some money (not much) and it's made for some very fun annual Christmas cards.  I now have two very beautiful children and my friends and family have had the joy of watching them grow through my art.  This year for Christmas I was drawing my card and had incorporated some deer, birds, and bunnies.  A good friend and supporter of mine commented on how cute my animals were.  It stuck in my head and it got me thinking.  They were cute and I had really really enjoyed drawing them.  It made me want to draw more animals.

So here I was about 14 years after quitting my job at the Zoo in hopes to go do something glamours in London, I find myself so happy drawing super cute animals.  Here is a peek of what I have done so far.
