Morning Light is Golden

The morning light with shadows from the shrub outside really amped up the beauty of the butterfly art on my office wall. The mixed media piece was created by my artist friend Kimberly McGuiness. The three-dimensional lavender butterflies came from Wayfair.

My Finished Entry for the Sketchbook Project

April 5, 2019

Here is a video of my completed entry for the Volume 14 Sketchbook Project. Shortly after making the video, I shipped this labor of love off to the Brooklyn Art Library to added to their permanent exhibit. I got a confirmation email from the library that my sketchbook, Vanessa’s Book of Fantastical Butterflies, can be found on the shelves of the physical library with call number 360.16-4. Soon, it will be digitized and available in their online library.

The art tools I used to create my sketchbook are Micron black pens and Sharpie highlighters.

Over 43,000 sketchbooks are included on display at the Brooklyn Art Library — one of the largest collections of sketchbooks in the world. Find out how you can participate in this global art project.
