April's Holiday Card - 2022

I realized that I never shared the holiday card I created for April back in 2022. Her son was totally down for this fun idea and I went to work in Photoshop to make it happen. It was a little tricky getting the lighting right and finding that ventilation shaft photo background. I absolutely love how it turned out.

Yippie ki yay, Merry Christmas.

Also, Die Hard is most definitely a Christmas movie.

Our Holiday Card - 2022

Catching up on a post that I never finished a few years ago. Our holiday card from 2022 perfectly summarized the biggest milestones from our year; whether they were travel, taekwondo or track. I was even able to forego doing a typed blurb on the back of the card.

Lone Peak in the Clouds

Lone Peak in the Clouds

In pulling myself out of a year-long painting slump, I painted my beloved Lone Peak shrouded in clouds from a photo I took back in May when Utah’s spring weather was acting especially drunk. She’s the peak I see from my street and a favorite of mine.

This was my 4th year having a booth at a local art show put on by the Draper Visual Arts Foundation and it was my most successful year yet! I sold 3 original paintings along with a handful of giclee prints and vinyl stickers.

I competed in poomsae and board breaking at the USA Taekwondo National Championships this summer and it such a fun experience. I won a gold medal in board breaking and learned a ton about competition sport poomsae.
