I just discovered a beautiful, uplifting article on my art titled "Rainbow Reflections" by published author Emilia Fonseca. Her blog's mission is to celebrate "art that touches the heart".

I'm very honored tha my artwork "Cambria" was published in the new Caran d'Ache Luminance brochure. LUMINANCE 6901® are very elegant colored pencils known for their lightfastness, sturdiness, and bright colors. I use them daily in my art and enjoy how the heat of the Icarus board makes them malleable and easy to blend. Whitout heat their point stays sharp and doesn't break, making them perfect for detailed work.

I'm thrilled that my artwork 'Everlasting' has been published in CREATIV, a magazine that celebrates creativity in art, innovation, culture, and adventure from around the world. This is a first class, glossy magazine with unforgettable pictures and articles. 

My artwork 'Everlasting' has a beautiful two page spread in the May issue which came out today.

CREATIV has received the honor to take a ride on my studio swing, something I only reserve for 'special guests'.

After my husband's emergency surgery before Christmas, we both came down with a serious case of the flu. I'm very happy and relieved that we are finally doing well. Now I'm ready to get serious about my art again.

Below are the highlights of the last six weeks.

I wanted to challenge myself and started my largest piece so far, a 40”x 60” canvas. It’s my first tribute to Montana's Glacier National Park, specifically the McDonald Creek. I'm very excited about it!

My Facebook page was listed as one of Ten Facebook Pages about Art in 2014 on Making a Mark, Katherine Tyrrell's amazing blog.

My art was being copied and sold illegally as ‘original oil paintings’ by a company in South East Asia. I'm happy to report that, after contacting them, they immediately stopped selling the copies and profusely apologized for neglecting to verify the authenticity of some of their products.

I'm almost finished with my current piece and will post an image as soon as I get it scanned. It's called "After the Rain".

I'm very thrilled to announce that my artwork "Crescendo" is being displayed on the labels of five different wines of Rocky Pond Winery, Orondo, Washington State. I'd like to thank Sara Nelson, from Sara Nelson Design, for doing a magnificent job with the wine labels. I think Rocky Pond Winery and my art were meant to find each other!

Renowned UK artist and blogger, Katherine Tyrrell, has a book coming out on January 1st, 2015. It comes in three different versions for the UK, USA and Asia, with three different publishers, three different titles and three different covers. However, everything inside is the same, including my contribution (!). Yes, I'm one of the artists included in the book.

The USA version, titled "Drawing 365", is now available for pre-order from Amazon  and North Light Books.

Great news! I had a wonderful article written on Arch2O.com, a website that reviews and critiques architecture, urbanism, art, and design.

The writer, Aiysha Alsane, says: "Ester Roi’s success lies in how she shares her discoveries with an audience: using a unique technique, she helps the audience see an everyday phenomenon in a refined and new light... Her pieces are studies of phenomena she has observed in nature, an interaction of two objects, a solid and fluid, yet her paintings transport the viewer to a different world. I, personally, won’t ever see the union of rocks and water the same again."
