SPRING ART SHOW!

Decisions, decisions...

Picking and choosing which images make the best sample illustration post cards... Narrowing it down, but it's hard to decide what people with decision power will prefer!

Today in fine art painting: Francis and the Hope

She's even better in person, so meet me in Old Town for my spring show and see this and many other pieces live!

Ah Mu Weaves a Story - Now at PRINT!!

I had the honor of illustrating a book for a group called "Chicago Welcomes You" - (narrative written by Sara Giliam). The book will help (along with other materials) acclimate Burmese refugees from the Thai camps to their new home in the city of Chicago. The book is now complete and at print. Here is a sneak peak at most of the final pages.

Anna's Art: the littlest collector

Anna Taylor (seen here being held by mom, Bethany Taylor) is the youngest collector of Kate Cosgrove original art. At barely a minute old, she had already decorated her walls with a school of fish. Anna is the perfect example of being born with great taste!

This week's painting: The Beekeeper

See this and many other new works of art at "Art and Soul" photo studio (1214 Turner St., Lansing Mi 48906) the first sunday of May, 2009.
