Happy update on a portrait client --

Congratulations to JoAnna Garcia Swisher and Nick Swisher on the soon-to-come arrival of their baby girl, due May 2013!!

I painted JoAnna's portrait, as well as portraits of her brother Michael and his wife, Anna Hirsch Garcia, back in 2006.

South Tampa Magazine featured my portrait in an article recognizing her fantastic work as Cheyenne on Reba McEntire's WB show, "Reba." Following that, JoAnna's mother commissioned two more portraits.



The Garcia family is wonderful. I was really honored to work with them.



Michael and Anna Garcia... portraits from their wedding day!
