Contre-jour 30x60 Oils on Panel This painting is inspired by one of my favorite locations for hiking, exploring, and painting, which is conveniently located just 15 minutes from my studio. It was a real pleasure to capture the contrast between the warm light and the cool fog.

Flow, 30x24 Acrylics I used to dislike painting in acrylics. I wanted them to be and act like oil paints. But once I leaned into what they do, how fast they dry, and how transparent many colors are, I began to enjoy the spontaneity and the ability to layer and glaze within a shortened time frame.

Even after 20 years of painting, stepping up to the easel can be intimidating. I try to remember to tell myself that it is not fear I'm feeling but rather excitement. Optimism and hope is the way forward. Pick up the brush.

Let’s talk living rooms. Specifically, let’s talk wall art for living rooms. 🖼️ This is the most popular room that collectors purchase artwork for—and it makes sense! It’s where we often spend our downtime, host family, and create a communal space where art truly shines.
