In an effort to showcase a more diverse view of my art beyond the doll clothing, I present: "art around the house." I love to paint and collage. So, every once in a while I will present my 2D artwork. Here are a few examples.

This first piece is a People magazine cover where i have altered Julia Roberts face.
