This painting has been hanging around my studio “nearly finished” for a long while. It is now complete and will be framed with so many other paintings heading to my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina! I will post more information as the show gets ever closer.
My newest nocturne painting in the studio. This is the third painting in this series on 18” cradled wood panels.
A small yet mighty new painting. Celebrating the cloud breaks of autumn.
I now have two of these 12” square beauties. I will probably send them to a gallery but I am still trying to sort out what is going where.
A morning walk around Copenhagen, Denmark. It’s always interesting to spend time alone walking in a new place imagining another life. So many possibilities in this short time we have. I am not a city person, I crave nature and peaceful places but fantasies are entertaining.
This small painting really connected with me. I love to create tension and movement when I paint. I have placed this on one of my studio shelves for further reflection. A massive version would be pretty compelling.
A studio view of this painting framed shortly before it was shipped to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. I sent a collection of three paintings to a landscape painting exhibit at this great gallery. It was an honor to be invited to participate in the show!
It is hard to believe this painting is almost 7 years old, they grow up so fast. Simply posting this one because it is a bad ass painting.
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 have been rearranging and clearing out my studio for a few months. Trying to optimize the space and make it more aesthetically pleasing. Along the way I have found some forgotten paintings that I really like. These two were from 2018, They will be on display in my studio once again!

Thank you for joining me on my artistic journey. I am excited for new work and adventures in 2023!
