What Is Sculptural Relief Painting? (And Why Your Wall Will Thank You)
In art history, relief sculpture refers to artwork where forms project outward from a flat background — think ancient friezes, carved stone panels, coins.

Clay and Canvas? Magic
I was a potter for a long time before I became a painter. Everything I made was hand built. No wheel. Just clay and my hands and a lot of patience.

One of my favorite quotes- that keeps me focused on what really matters, lives on my studio walls: “May we be willing to walk where love leads.” I don’t know about you, but that path hasn’t always been crystal clear for me.

How I Started Creating 3D Floral Art with Piped Paint
You don’t see 3D floral art like mine every day. I’m proud that it’s unusual, eclectic, and profoundly interesting—but also very beautiful. My pieces are, at the very least, conversation starters. The Unexpected Beginning One of the most common questions I receive is, “How did you get started doing this?” My answer usually surprises people: buttercream. The Gaffey Art Materials product I use is exorbitantly expensive to make textured floral paintings, and I’ve only seen one
