Color and form fascinate and intrigue me, that is why Florals are my favorite subjects to paint. I have spent years developing my style so that I can present realistic designs painted in the easiest and simplest way possible. Painting with oils and DecoArt So Soft fabric paints are my very favorite, however with DecoArt's addition of specialized mediums I have been able to create many beautiful pieces with Americana acrylics. I would love to share my passion with you in a class setting or with a piece of custom art work.

Looking for custom Koalaty Art? I can design a piece for you from your photos or mine. Your custom art can be painted on a large variety of surfaces such as canvas, wood, metal, gourds, baskets, or fabric. Contact me at jubileejunction@gmail.com for details.
