Spiritual (sold)
I was very pleased to hear that this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina! I will be having my third solo show at the gallery in the early spring of 2026. I will post the dates for the show when it gets a bit closer. I am hoping to make it out for this exhibit, I have always wanted to visit the town!
Sun Season (finished)
I revisited and finished this painting just as the sun season is heading out the door. It always brings me down thinking of the expansive darkness ahead.
Summer Blue (three of a kind)
I have a number of small boards prepared so thought I would play with some ideas on a smaller scale. these three pieces are a tribute to the lovely summer days.
Summer Blue
One of three very small paintings I am currently working on. The atmosphere and color scheme are the common thread.
I will post the full collection when it is completed!
Between (and me)
This is one of fifteen paintings I will have at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. The show is called “FATHOM”, opening July 25th!
I have three small paintings that are this size, everything else is larger. if you are in the area, come check out the exhibit!
Grand Mystery
A new dramatic painting. Exploring the magic and the mystery.
I love heavy atmosphere and dramatic lighting. The subject is endlessly fascinating and exciting to me. It always feels spiritual and intriguing.
Winter Light
I have spent this week painting some small work. It is very satisfying finishing these little pieces so quickly, a bit of a break. I will be buying more small boards to work out ideas for larger paintings.
The High Light
A new painting I finished shortly before the Christmas Holiday. Love the feel of this piece, I definitely plan to pursue more work with this atmospheric feel.

The sun is elusive this time of year, dramatic when it appears. Constant inspiration in my North Idaho home.
There are many paintings in the works today in my studio. I am really getting into the groove, one of the better feelings to have as an artist.
