I revisited this piece and did a bit more layering. Some additional painting to the forest shore and it is now complete. I always strive to keep my work loose without overworking.
I am preparing to start on another vertical painting. Difficult to focus with all of the beautiful weather!
The drift of water deep and wide, inspired by the Clark Fork River. Another painting in my 24” x 24” collection. I have six panels that are this size, three more to come!
A brand new painting in the studio! I prepared a few of these two foot panels just before my trip to Asheville, NC. I am working on a few pieces at the moment, really enjoy the size of these pieces.
Just a small glimpse into my solo show “mystic lands” on display at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina.
Some of this works date back to 2024 but the bulk of the pieces were painted in the last year. It is such a thrill to see my artwork on display in such a beautiful gallery. Everyone at the gallery and coming through the show were incredibly nice. I am especially grateful to Jordan Ahlers and Shifra Ahlers for their incredible kindness and hospitality. I have never been so spoiled!
If you are in the Asheville area please check out the gallery, worth the trip!
I finished this painting yesterday. I started it late last year but it needed a bit of glazing and a couple of tweaks. This one is fairly simple but has such a mesmerizing glow and presence.
This painting is a pretty special piece. Inspiration from the Green Monarch Mountain range along Lake Pend Oreille.
I did a major rework of this painting from last fall.
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.
This is a special piece to me. I held onto it for a couple years as it felt so alive and inspiring in the studio. It is now framed and available through Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana!
This is a painting that I have always loved but was not quite finished. I finally buttoned this one up and, drove it to Missoula, Montana. The painting will be part of the “Fathom” exhibit opening July 25th at Radius Gallery.
I will be driving back to Montana in a matter of days for the opening!
