In 2017 I became involved with a self portrait group that not only made me realize the importance of getting in the frame, it also gave me a new pathway to create some of my favorite art. Finding ways to make my self the subject of an image was challenging and sometimes hilarious. These are some of my favorite moments and they will give you a little more info about who I am. But just in case you want to know some more about little old me...
Here's a Top Ten List of my Favorite Things:
1. My kids. I surely have to start with them. My business is named after the two of them. Charlie for my son and Little for my daughter. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see an illustration of them done by the incredibly talented Gracie Klumpp.
2. My ginger husband. He is simply the best thing that has ever happened to me.
3. Books, bookstores and libraries (I think these can be all together) My children and I spend a lot of time in all of these places and I currently work part time at a small Montessori school as a PreK-6th librarian *Another Dream Job
4. Chocolate in unhealthy amounts and daily.
5. The sound of a spoon mixing a hot cup of tea. Reminds me of home and my big Irish family.
6. Genealogy. I have spent an embarrassing amount of time looking up my family's history which I think is fascinating and romantic.
7. Oahu
8. Hunting for Sea Glass and winning when the family is on a mission for a certain color (I need more red, pink, purple and deep blue)
9. Ridiculous and sassy Toddlers.
10. Gilmore Girls. I won't tell you what team I am on because I want to keep you as clients :)
Who Is Charlie Little?
The “Charlie” in my business name is for my son Charles who is the funniest, kindest most bizarre boy that I know. He is a blast to Snapchat with, always up for a snuggle and will figure out math problems for me before I get my calculator out. I just love him so.
The “Little” in my business name is for my daughter Amelia who was called “Little” as a toddler and is the sweetest person I have ever met. She sings, dances, creates and cares for everyone around her. She is also an incredible shopping partner; all vintage and all compliments. I’m so lucky to have her.
