I have always loved watching clouds and weather systems rolling through. I very often find myself echoing nature in my studio, it is the heart of my work.
This is one of the many small paintings I have done in the last couple months. Today I am moving onto my first 18” x 24” painting in a number of months. Excited to get back to a larger scale.
My 2024 solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina ends June 22nd! Last chance to see this huge collection in person. These paintings represent a huge chunk of time, I poured my heart into them.
Thank you to Samantha Keely Smith, for providing the video I used in this reel. She is one of my favorite painters, check her out if you haven’t seen her work!
Fall has slipped into winter. Thought I would share this new painting to commemorate the season finale. I rarely varnish and frame work as soon as I complete it but this painting cried out to be fully finished. I do not generally chase the season when I am painting but I follow my enthusiasms and nature is always sparking my imagination.
I shipped four new pieces to Horizon Fine Art Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming. This painting is called “Fade Pink”, inspiration from the Winter that suddenly shifted to Spring.
I always loved the translucent greens in this painting. St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect day to post this one again 💚
I worked with an architect to design my studio. I am now 7 years in on this dream. I’m always seeing things I want to change. The truth is I am super fortunate to have such a great creative space. A place to focus my skills and imagination. Restless as my spirit is, I would still hate to walk away. Time doesn’t stop and work continues until it doesn’t.
I was pleased to learn that this misty seascape was sold through RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Oregon.
Winter continues to paint my world. I was not planning more winter scenes but it is drawing me in with its silent magic.
A large seascape in the studio. I love empty atmospheric paintings. This is a landscape void of land, filled with light. Check out the goofy reel to see it moving around in my studio!
An intensely colorful painting that has a great vibe. I have been doing a number of 12”x16” boards of late. Eager to move onto some larger pieces now.
