Monterrey Temple Experience

My brother and his wife returned recently from serving a mission for the Church of Jesus 

Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Monterrey, Mexico temple. My brother wanted to give his wife a special birthday present and commissioned a plaque which included the temple, but also many of the natural wonders of the Monterrey area that they came to love so much, including Saddleback Mountain in the background. It was such a joy imagining the two of them experiencing these beauties as I was researching and painting them. I hope it will be a permanent reminder of their time there.

Cutest New Baby Plaques Ever!

My daughter and partner just sent these adorable owl name plaques to some friends who had new babies. I think they are so adorable. I love how they are both owls, but have their distinct personalities. Especially the hipster boy. The color palettes are so wonderful, too. 

She created this new fox plaque for another baby, also. It's a different take on her previous fox plaque, and so fun. Lucky babies, these.
