Willma Redhed

Willma lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family.
She has loved creating art since she could pick up a crayon.

Willma's skills are valuable and have made a big difference in the companies where she has previously been employed.  One example is her collaborative work at Boeing. All airlines flying Boeing planes send their pilots to Boeing for training. Pilots from airlines around the world have seen her graphics and animations. In her own small way, working with a team, she has helped millions of people safely get to where they need to go.

Currently she is pursuing teaching acrylic painting to her friends.

Snow “Snow”

A custom piece for a lady who wanted original art for Christmas presents.

Butterflies “Butterflies”

Dogs “Dogs”

A woman wanted a painting to be in memory of her son's dogs. I was happy to hear that it warmed her heart, the images were strikingly similar to the real ones.

Lamb “Lamb”

A custom piece. I love having a single lamb and a fence. It can represent so much.

Cactus “Cactus”

I painted this at a local restaurant during their Paint 'N' Sip event. I gave it to my mother-in-law for her birthday.

As I played with the sky the calm blue sky colors changed to an enormous wave. It totaling cracked me up because I was going to paint a relaxing scene on the beach. Run!

I enjoyed painting this and learning a new technique; using a gift card edge to make a cityscape.

Octopus “Octopus ”

This piece was commissioned for an art class, and used as an example.

I loved the Caribbean blue color that I used on the Octopus painting that I just had to paint the ocean again in a similar way. It reminds of snorkeling off Maui.

I actually baked and decorated this train cake. The printshop I worked for wanted original art for a Holiday card. So I painted a watercolor of the cake. Then we ate the cake.
