Following Light
More inspiration from Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. I have been living on the lake for nearly a decade. The beauty is always an inspiration. I am always chasing the light in my art. The world feels so very dark far too often.
Green Mountains
This painting is a pretty special piece. Inspiration from the Green Monarch Mountain range along Lake Pend Oreille.
Evening Glow
This piece feels like a trip to dreamland. A reflection on past adventures and so many memories.
Journey of Light
I am digging in and getting it after. Starting with small concepts so that I can work on bigger pieces in the dark months. This piece has a lot of intriguing qualities worth further exploration! My next solo show is spring 2026 so I will be very busy.
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.
Unknowable
A new painting in the studio today. I am really happy to be back working at a slightly bigger scale!
Flow of Time
New Sky drama on the easel. Inspiration from my home in North Idaho. Lake Pend Oreille is a constant source of visual motivation in my work.
Burnout
Continuing work on my small paintings this summer. Starting to get a real collection of these works. They are bound to grow come winter…
Summer Dreams
A new piece in the studio. This is the smallest painting I have done this year. I have a number of small boards primed so there shall be more. Forgive my hand for imitating a foot.
