Our luxuriously soft blankets are available in two different sizes and feature incredible artwork on the top surface. The bottom surface is white. Our 100% polyester blankets are available in two different styles: plush fleece and sherpa fleece. Plush fleece blankets are soft and fluffy on both sides, whereas sherpa blankets are smooth like a soft sweater on the artwork side (i.e. shorter threads) which provides for a sharper image. Looking for a recommendation? Go with a 60" x 80" plush fleece blanket. It's soft and luxurious on both sides... the artwork looks incredible... and the size is just right for everyone.

This is my painting of my favorite poet and playwright Oscar Wilde (1854-1900). He was famous for his book, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" in which a beautiful man sits for a portrait and then mourns the fact that he will never be as young and beautiful as he is in his portrait. He then sells his soul so that he will always remain young and the picture will age. I have portrayed Oscar Wilde sitting in front of the portrait of Dorian Gray. I painted the portrait behind him to also symbolize Alfred "Bosie" Douglas, the lover of Oscar Wilde who was the eventual downfall of Wilde's life. Oscar Wilde was sent to prison for 2 years of hard labor for being found out a homosexual. He had wealth, fame, and a beautiful wife and children, and he lost it all. His wife Constance Wilde and his son Cyril are in an antique frame on his lapel. He wears them over his heart (in mirrored view) because he did love his wife and childrden. However, it's the life hanging over his shoulder that overshadow...
Through my work I always hope to tell a story about my personal experiences as a Hispanic woman. I was born and raised in the beautiful state of New Mexico and my family has been in northern New Mexico for over 10 generations. My work comes from my memories of growing up in a large extended family and my favorite subjects to paint are the people and traditions of northern New Mexico. I have always loved art and have wanted to become an artist for as long as I can remember. My primary medium is acrylic on canvas. I have also enjoyed using acrylic on wood as well. As a self-taught artist, I really fight looking at something when I'm painting or sketching. I love just allowing my work to evolve organically. My preliminary sketches are...

Met Oscar Wilde's Grandson Merlin Holland tonight at the Santa Fe Opera Symposium. He took time out from this speaking engagement to have me explain this piece to him. I presented him with a copy of this painting and he was so very gracious and kind to me. I honestly feel that having this opportunity to share this labor of love with Mr. Holland has really given me such a sense of purpose and peace in my art LIFE! What an honor and a blessing.

I sent Stephen Fry, the actor that played Oscar Wilde in the 1997 movie "Wilde" a canvas print of this. He wrote me a beautiful thank you card and told me that the piece is hanging in his study! Tonight I will have the honor of displaying the original of this at an Oscar Wilde Symposium here in Santa Fe, NM. Merlin Holland, Wilde's only grandchild is the keynote speaker and I hope to present him with a copy as well! What a blessing!
